Mumbai-South Africa-Seychelles Multi City for 29k

Mumbai people take note- if Africa is on your radar, here's a nice deal

You can cover South Africa and Seychelles in one trip, for under 30k. For select dates, Air Seychelles multi city ticket is available for cheap fares as shown below.

30k is not super cheap considering the flight duration, but we don't see too many deals to Africa from India so this is good deal to explore two countries in one trip if Africa is on your mind. Visiting South Africa and Seychelles separately will cost 2x more. You can go all the way to Japan from Mumbai for 30k

Point to note:

• Above is non refundable ticket. No date change, no refund.
• Full service airline. Meals, seat selection and baggage is included.
• South Africa visa is needed for Indian passport holders, costs about 3000 INR and takes 5 to 15 working days. Seychelles is visa on arrival
• Available for above date in November- you've enough time to process visa, possibly available for various other dates in 2020 as well.
• Can be booked on Air Seychelles website or on 3rd party site. But official website wasn't showing low fares. Beware of some convenience fee, possible discounts etc on top of amount shown able. (The 2500 discount shown above is for HDFC Credit card only, MMT charges Rs 899 convenience fee in final stage)
• Skscanner showed few other European websites like eDreams, Gotogate selling same itinerary for a few rupees less. But online feedback on these websites were not very encouraging with allegations of charging extra later etc. So might be best to deal with Indian travel websites like MMT or Easemytrip etc

I wanted to book above but didn't have enough time to process South Africa visa between my last trip and this one. Might try for 2020. I tried for other destinations in Africa like Tanzania etc but didn't get anything under 30k INR- you can try if you wish- Some African countries like Etiophia, Kenya, Tanzania etc give visa on arrival for Indians.
