Travel considerations
Flights to London with Qatar Airways land at London Heathrow, the world’s busiest air transport hub. Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure.
Before you fly to London please check the visa and passport requirements.
Flying from Mahé, Seychelles
Located around 12 kilometres southeast of the capital, Seychelles International Airport is the main entry and departure point for international air travellers in Mahé, a flourishing paradise island which continues to receive increasing numbers of travellers throughout the years.
Passengers flying from Mahé will find this to be a warm and friendly airport, with attentive staff dedicated to making the start of your journey stress-free and easy.
Transportation and parking
The easiest way to get to the airport is by taxi. Be aware that at night, many taxi services levy a surcharge, so if you are catching an evening flight you will need to factor that into your costs.
Buses run every 20-30 minutes throughout the day from the capital’s centre to the airport, and most hotels will provide a limousine service for VIP guests.
Parking at the airport is extremely limited due to space restrictions, so the most practical solution is to make alternative arrangements and travel to the airport by taxi or bus.
Arriving at Mahé
Passengers flying from Mahé with Qatar Airways depart from the main terminal’s Departure hall. As the airport is relatively small, it is quite easy to find your way around and check-in procedures are quite quick.
Security checks, however, are thorough and lengthy, so allow around an hour to an hour and a half to check-in and clear customs.
Facilities and amenities
Facilities are adequate, although somewhat limited due to the size of the airport. A restaurant serves food during the day and into the early evening, while coffee bars provide light snacks and beverages.
Wi-Fi is available throughout the terminal. It is recommended that you avoid taking photographs while at the airport, due to the operational military base located at the southern end of the runway.
