The airport is simple, without any special frills, but good.
The staff is working well, fast enough.
There are no special checks, everything is very light.
Upon arrival, biometrics works perfectly, immediately sorting out those who have issued an entry permit and those who have not done so or have not paid. I would like to remind everyone that Russians do not need a visa to the Seychelles, but Travel authorization needs to be issued. And it's better in advance, then the payment will be about 15 euros per person, not 70, as an urgent one at the airport. Even with a non-working bank card, you can apply for it (+ write to support), and pay upon arrival, the cost will remain the same, 15 euros.
A compact airport with 4 boarding gates. There is a small waiting area, but there are plenty of places for everyone, as there are few international flights. Several shops and duty-free. The entire Takamaka rum line and related products are displayed on the second floor. There's also a rum-based cocktail bar.
Visa control is fast, there are no queues, as well as at check-in, because tourists are brought by small buses and there is no rush. Check-in is only at the airport, online is not available. But the staff is kind enough and helps to book the right places.
The airport has the best exchanger on the island, and the exchange rate will be low in other places!
The airport is small, but not bad. Checks are fast, queues do not accumulate. Duty free is quite small, there are several jewelry and souvenir shops and only one with alcohol, perfumes and sweets. Takamaka rum was only a liter, I don't know if it was standard or during our visit, but 0.7 was only black elite Takamaka. There are two souvenir shops: one is almost standard, but with a variety of magnets, soap, lotions and the second is artistic. There you can buy something original and high-quality, although not cheap, but this is the case everywhere.
