The best way of flying to the Seychelles is with Emirates via Dubai, from most of the UKs most significant airports, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester, Heathrow, Gatwick.

We recommend this for two reasons, there are no direct flight options anyway and you can break up a 13 hour flight, into two more manageable sectors. Perhaps you can stop over for a couple of nights in Dubai to break up the journey. Please ask us for a recommendation on where to stay in Dubai!

Furthermore, Emirates economy and Business Class cabins are simply hard to beat. You will need to take care of the weight of your luggage, especially if you are taking golf clubs, we will explain how this works and the allowance at the time of booking. The flights from Dubai are into Mahe airport on Mahe Island, from where you can connect on a domestic flight of 40 minutes to Praslin.

Finally another good routing from the UK or Ireland, is with Etihad from London Heathrow, Manchester, Edinburgh and Dublin via Abu Dhabi, in partnership with Air Seychelles. Again we can recommend stopovers in Abu Dhabi.
