Quick answer
Does my UK departure airport change what Seychelles costs?
More than on almost any route in this group. London is the cheapest departure for Seychelles and Birmingham the dearest, with several hundred pounds between them — the widest spread of the eight destinations we have priced most recently.
That makes Seychelles the opposite of Port Elizabeth, where the same five airports sit within a hundred pounds or so of each other. Here the airport is a real decision rather than a convenience one.
Business class to Seychelles starts from £1,873 return, checked.
Price London against your local airport, including what it costs you to reach London.
- London is currently the cheapest UK departure
- Birmingham is currently the dearest of the five
- This is the widest UK spread in the group
- The arrival is Seychelles International (SEZ)

Starting prices by UK departure airport
Starting prices for each UK departure. Your airline and your exact fare are confirmed on your quote.
Seychelles is the route in this group where the departure airport genuinely decides several hundred pounds, so it is the question to settle first rather than last.
The widest UK spread in this group
Business class to Seychelles starts from £1,873 return from London (LON), checked.
London leads and Birmingham is the dearest, with £458 between the two ends. That is the widest band of any destination we have priced recently — several times the gap on a route like Port Elizabeth, where the same five airports sit almost on top of each other.
Which means the advice reverses here. Elsewhere we tell people to pick their airport on convenience. On Seychelles it is worth pricing London properly against your local airport, including the train and the night before, because the difference is large enough to pay for them.
Mahé, and the islands beyond it
The arrival is Seychelles International (SEZ) on Mahé, the main island. Seychelles is an archipelago rather than a single place, and a great many trips continue beyond Mahé — to Praslin, La Digue or one of the smaller islands.
That onward leg is a flight or a ferry, it runs to its own timetable, and it is the part of the journey most often left until too late. Tell us which island you are actually staying on before the ticket is built, because the arrival time into Mahé decides whether you make the same-day connection or spend a night you had not planned on.
Where the cabin decision sits
The step between premium economy and business is narrower on Seychelles than on most long-haul leisure routes, and the step up to first is a considerable one — first class comes in at £3,954 against £1,873 in business.
On a long overnight flight to a holiday you have probably been saving for, that middle ground is worth a conversation rather than a guess. Ask and we will price the cabins side by side for your dates.
Seychelles against the other Indian Ocean arrivals
If the trip is the Indian Ocean rather than Seychelles specifically, business class flights to the Maldives and Mauritius are the alternatives we price. They are genuinely different holidays with different onward-transfer problems, so the comparison is worth making on the whole journey rather than the headline fare.
Before you book Seychelles
- Price London against your local airport — here the gap is worth the question.
- Say which island you are staying on, not just Seychelles.
- Check the Mahé arrival time against the onward flight or ferry.
- Ask for the cabins side by side; the middle ground is closer than usual.
- Confirm baggage allowances early if you are connecting to a small island aircraft.
The Seychelles carries the widest spread between our cheapest and dearest UK departure in this region. Our guide to business class across Africa and the Indian Ocean explains what that means for your choice of airport.
FAQs
What do travellers ask about business class to Seychelles?
Prefer to talk? +447348617176 .
How much is business class to Seychelles from the UK?
It starts from £1,873 return, departing London (LON), checked. The five UK departures span £458 — the widest band in this group, so the airport is a real decision.
Which UK airport is cheapest for Seychelles?
London, with Birmingham the dearest of the five. The gap here is the widest of any destination we have priced recently, so it is worth pricing London properly against your local airport.
Which airport does Seychelles use?
Seychelles International (SEZ) on Mahé, the main island. If you are staying elsewhere in the archipelago there is an onward flight or ferry to plan around.
Do I need a connecting flight once I arrive?
Often, yes. Praslin, La Digue and the smaller islands are reached by a short flight or a ferry with its own timetable, so the Mahé arrival time decides whether you travel on the same day.
Is premium economy worth considering to Seychelles?
It is worth pricing. The step between premium economy and business is narrower on this route than on most long-haul leisure destinations, so ask us to show the cabins side by side rather than assuming.
How much is first class to Seychelles?
It comes in at £3,954 against £1,873 in business — a considerable step. Treat it as a guide and ask what is actually bookable on your dates.
Should I go to Seychelles, the Maldives or Mauritius?
They are genuinely different holidays with different onward-transfer problems. Compare them on the whole journey rather than the headline fare, and we will price all three if it helps.
What baggage should I check for the island hop?
Ask before you book if you are connecting to a smaller island aircraft, because the allowance can be tighter than the long-haul one. We will confirm it on the quote.
Are these Seychelles fares guaranteed?
No. They are dated indicative guide fares, checked, and subject to availability. Peak island weeks move these more than the departure airport does.
What should a Seychelles quote name?
Your UK departure, Seychelles International (SEZ), the island you are staying on and how you reach it, dates, the operating airline and cabin on each sector, baggage and the fare rules.
