At the time of large aircraft departures to the Middle East or Europe, queues can be more than 40 minutes long for security checks.

Immigration checks on arrival tend to be quick and queues can be around 30 minutes long.

The public area of the airport is open to the outside.

Transfer between flights

The terminal is equipped with a direct transfer option without having to leave the transit area.

If you are transferring between two international flights, follow the signage which will take you through the outdoor corridor just before immigration control to a special transit security checkpoint, after which you will find yourself at the departure gates.

International transfers realistically take 20-30 minutes and you don't have to worry about luggage.

If you have purchased a ticket with a transfer to Praslin or another Seychelles destination, follow the "Domestic Transfer" signs which will take you through immigration out to the domestic terminal.

You must collect your luggage and re-check it in, and the overall procedure takes 45-75 minutes.
