Do you need to reclaim and recheck baggage on a connecting flight with Seychelles Airlines?

TL;DR
In practice, baggage is usually checked through to the final destination and boarding passes for both flights are issued at once — no need to reclaim or recheck.
What the community said
Despite Trip.com stating that baggage must be reclaimed and rechecked due to the first leg being operated by Seychelles Airlines, in practice this was not required — luggage was checked through to the final destination and boarding passes for both flights were issued at check-in.

On a recent flight, carry-on luggage was not checked at all, and there was no request to recheck bags. Travelers were using backpacks rather than suitcases, which may have been a factor.

A previous experience flying from Abu Dhabi showed that when a Seychelles Airlines itinerary explicitly states 'baggage recheck required', the situation may differ — it is worth confirming at the check-in desk in advance.
