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.
Arriving in Moscow
From the iconic domes of St Basil’s Cathedral and the drama of Red Square, Moscow is a unique city with its own very individual personality. The people of Moscow are incredibly warm and welcoming, and are particularly friendly towards visitors who come to see their city.
For 860 years this thriving metropolis has been at the heart of Russia. It is the country’s political and financial hub, as well as its commercial centre. Book a flight to Moscow with Qatar Airways and you’ll find that it’s also a popular tourist destination, full of photogenic architecture, fascinating museums and galleries, and a thriving arts scene that includes world-famous dance and ballet companies.
Tourist attractions
The vast majority of visitors head straight for Red Square, at the very heart of the city. This huge square is also home to St Basil’s Cathedral with its brightly painted ‘onion’ domes, the State History Museum, Lenin's Mausoleum and one of the Kremlin's imposing brick walls.
Inside the Kremlin you’ll find a wealth (quite literally) of attractions, including the famous Diamond collection in the armoury, some stunning architecture and matinee ballet performances in the Conference Centre.
If you need somewhere to rest for a moment, the Kremlin’s gardens are beautifully tranquil oases of calm in the middle of a noisy and busy city. If you want to discover the spirit of Moscow then take a stroll down Old Arbat Street, with its boutiques and street traders.
Art is hugely important to the Russian people, and one of the best collections can be found at The Institute of Russian Realist Art, with a stunning display of the country’s finest realist artists. For a glimpse of modern Moscow, head to the revived Gorky Park, now home to trendy cafés, shops and an open-air cinema. And for a little peace and tranquillity take a stroll around Park Sokolniki, or the lesser known Aptekarskiy ogorod park.
