One of the attractions to Europeans, Africans and especially Middle Easterners is that the Seychelles is located in a similar time zone to these areas. It is only four and a half hours by plane from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha which all serve as a connecting hub for regular international flights from Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. Additionally, seasonal direct flights to the Seychelles are available from Mumbai, Nairobi, Antananarivo, Mauritius, Johannesburg, Addis Ababa, Reunion, Colombo, Moscow and Frankfurt.

Astove Atoll is a three-hour flight from Mahé [the main island of the Seychelles]. Scheduled flights depart and return to Mahé each Monday. Scheduled Flights depart from the Domestic Terminal at the Mahe Interntional Airport. Flight times are subject to change. For further information please refer to the flight schedule. Please make sure you confirm your correct flight times with our reservations team.

Guests are required to fly into Mahé at least four hours before the flight is scheduled to depart. Alphonse Island is also accessible through private charter flights. The inter-island IDC charter flight to Blue Safari Destinations will depart from the Mahe Domestic terminal, situated at the international airport at the opposite end of the international arrivals. Guests will need to check in 60 minutes prior to departure and check-in closes 30 minutes before departure. If you are flying into the Seychelles on the same day as your inter-island flight and your layover should be more than 90 mins.

The Blue Safari reservations team will assist with all return flight reservations between Mahé and Astove at the time of booking.
