Here's what nobody tells you about Air Seychelles: dogs don't get a cabin seat, full stop. If you're picturing your little one curled at your feet somewhere over the Indian Ocean, hit pause. Mochi would be furious, judging the situation harder than any queue. The hold is the only route here, so know that before you book anything and start dreaming about paradise.
Air Seychelles's pet policy splits into cabin and cargo. This page summarizes the weight limits, fees, brachycephalic-breed restrictions, and carrier specifications for both modes — sourced from the airline's official pet pages.
