Today's indicative fares Delhi to Seychelles
As of June 2026, indicative one-way Delhi to Seychelles economy fares typically run ₹45,000-₹70,000, with the cheapest seats opening from around ₹40,000-₹45,000 when you book ahead for an off-peak mid-week departure on the Gulf carriers and via-Mumbai connections.

These are indicative, date-stamped ranges — not a live quote. Fares move daily with demand, fuel and seat availability, and a connecting itinerary's price swings with the layover hub.

Airlines & connecting hubs Delhi to Seychelles
Qatar Airways via Doha, Emirates via Dubai and Etihad via Abu Dhabi all connect Delhi to Mahé with good frequency; Air Seychelles serves the islands from Gulf hubs. The value play is often a Delhi-Mumbai feeder onto IndiGo's non-stop Mumbai-Mahé service.
If you can start in Mumbai, compare our Mumbai to Seychelles page for the non-stop option. For a beach alternative, see Delhi to Mauritius.
Flight time & best routing
The quickest Delhi-Seychelles itineraries run about 8h 30m-10h via a Gulf hub or via Mumbai, with short layovers. A Delhi-Mumbai-Mahé combination on a single ticket can be both fast and cheap thanks to IndiGo's ~4h 55m non-stop leg. Gulf-hub routings via Doha, Dubai or Abu Dhabi total 10-12 hours depending on connection time.
Seychelles is 1h 30m behind India, so an overnight or early departure lands you in Mahé in good time for an island transfer. See our Seychelles destination guide.
When to book for the lowest fare
For a connecting route like Delhi to Seychelles, the sweet spot is generally 8-12 weeks before departure. Booking inside two weeks usually leaves only the higher fare buckets, while booking too far out rarely beats the mid-range window. For peak travel — summer holidays, Diwali and the year-end fortnight — push your booking to 12-14 weeks ahead, as the cheapest classes vanish first.
Set a price alert in the FlightGPT chat the moment your dates firm up, and compare two or three connecting hubs. Layer a qualifying bank-card offer on top for further savings. Our 2026 online booking guide walks through the full tactics.
Cheapest days & times to fly
Mid-week departures (Tuesday and Wednesday) are typically the cheapest Delhi to Seychelles days, while Friday, Saturday and Sunday carry a weekend premium. Late-evening and red-eye departures that connect through the hub overnight are often a touch cheaper than prime daytime slots.
If your dates are flexible, flying out mid-week and back mid-week is the lowest-cost combination. Splitting a return into two one-ways — one carrier out, another back — occasionally beats the round-trip fare, so it is worth comparing both in the FlightGPT chat.
Baggage allowance & extra fees
On international economy fares, full-service carriers usually include 25-30 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on this route, while low-cost and basic fares may include less or be hand-baggage-only — so check the exact allowance on your specific fare before you book. Connecting itineraries on a single ticket normally check your bags through to Seychelles, but a self-transfer on separate tickets means re-checking baggage at the hub.
Extra checked baggage is far cheaper pre-paid online than at the airport counter. Seat selection, paid meals and priority are chargeable add-ons; skipping them keeps the all-in fare lowest. Always verify the current figures on the operating airline's official site, as allowances and fees change.
Seychelles airport & arrival guide
You land at Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) on Mahé, about 10 km from Victoria, the capital. Immigration is quick for Indians thanks to visa-free entry — have your return ticket, accommodation proof and the Travel Authorisation (Electronic Border System) confirmation ready. Taxis, hotel transfers and inter-island ferries/flights to Praslin and La Digue connect from here.
The Seychelles rupee is the local currency; cards are widely accepted at resorts. See our Seychelles destination guide for island-hopping tips.
Visa & entry for Indian passport holders
Seychelles is famously visa-free for all nationalities, including Indians — there is no visa to apply for. Instead you receive a free visitor's entry permit on arrival (initially up to 3 months, extendable). Since the introduction of the Seychelles Electronic Border System / Travel Authorisation, travellers must complete an online application before departure (a small fee, around €10, applies) and present confirmation, along with a passport valid for the stay, a return/onward ticket, confirmed accommodation and proof of sufficient funds.
A yellow-fever certificate is required only if you are arriving from or transiting a risk country. Rules can change, so confirm the latest on the official Seychelles e-Border portal before you travel, and see our general visa guide for Indian travellers. Official Seychelles Travel Authorisation portal.
Cancellation, refund & date-change rules
On international tickets, each airline sets its own cancellation and change fees by fare type. Cheaper fares carry higher penalties or are non-refundable except for statutory taxes, while flexible fares allow changes for a smaller fee plus any fare difference. Always read the fare rules shown at booking, and verify current penalty amounts on the airline's official site before you book.
If the airline cancels your Delhi to Seychelles flight, you are entitled to a refund or a rebook on the next available service under the carrier's conditions of carriage. On a connecting itinerary, always book a single through-ticket so you are protected if the first leg runs late and your bags are checked through to Seychelles.
