When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in December around $1,005 and peak in September near $1,444, 44% dearer, across the 8 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 15 hours outbound, on a 17-night trip — ticketed under Etihad, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $1,005 for 8,037 km each way, that works out to about $63 per 1,000 km flown. That is above the $44 per 1,000 km typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 24 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Seychelles, this fare ranks 20th — 1.7× the $591 we hold from Zurich. For context, the middle fare among the 37 routes of similar length we watch out of Shanghai is $771. The best time to be in Seychelles: Apr–May · Oct–Nov.

Good to know
SHA → SEZ, answered.
Is $1,005 a good price for Shanghai to Seychelles?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $1,140 round-trip and this fare is 12% under it. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Shanghai to Seychelles?
Across 8 months of cached-fare history, Dec comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Seychelles are Apr–May · Oct–Nov — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book SHA → Seychelles?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 8 months of cached fares, Dec comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Shanghai to Seychelles?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Etihad. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
