Emirates is launching flights to the Seychelles at the start of next year.
The luxury leisure destination is the third in the Indian Ocean for the airline, which already flies to the Maldives and Mauritius. Fares from UK airports start at £729 including tax for travel before March 21 2005.
Flights will operate from Dubai to the island of Mahé in the Seychelles on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays from January 2 2005.
The flight leaves Dubai just after 02.00, and is designed to offer convenient connections with Emirates flights from London’s Heathrow and Gatwick, as well as Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow. The flight arrives in Mahé at 06.45.
