Praslin Island Airport — Local services in Praslin

If you arrive earlier than your flight time, you are forced to wait outside at 35 C degrees with no fan! The only ceiling fans are located over the check-in counters… Apparently they care more about their staff than the passengers who, by they way, are the source of their income… There is no refreshing breeze either since the whole area is blocked by nylon.

It’s a small airport with a big heart, and a perfect introduction to...

Small airport, only for flights to Mahe and maybe some private. All went fast and smooth. From the beach you can see the planes landing. And very “smart” security lady, explaining to my son, that an inflatable ball can explode in the plane and he can not take it with him. If a ball explodes at 2000ft altitude (which this small plane is flying), then people living skyscrapers should be...
