Keeping your dates flexible and comparing nearby days is the easiest way to land at the cheaper end.
What is the cheapest day to fly to Mauritius?
indicativeThe cheapest day to depart to Mauritius is usually Wednesday, when fares start from around £669 — midweek departures tend to be quieter and cheaper. Friday is typically the most expensive day to fly out (around £728), as weekend travel is popular with leisure and business travellers alike. Where your plans allow, moving your outbound to a cheaper weekday can noticeably lower the total fare.
What is the cheapest time of day to fly to Mauritius?
Flights to Mauritius are generally cheapest departing in midday, with fares from around £610.

Can I save money by flying with a stopover to Mauritius?
Yes — for Mauritius you can often save by taking a stopover: 1-stop fares start from around £610, compared with about £1498 to fly direct. The trade-off is a longer total journey with a connection, so weigh the saving against the extra travel time. If budget matters more to you than speed, a 1-stop option is worth considering.

About flights to Mauritius
Overview
Mauritius is an Indian Ocean island paradise of white-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons and lush volcanic peaks. A firm favourite for UK honeymooners, families and sun-seekers, it is served by a single modern international airport and offers year-round warmth just a nonstop flight from London.
Best time to fly to Mauritius
Mauritius is warm all year. The cooler, drier months from May to November are the most comfortable, while summer (December to April) is hotter and more humid, with a small cyclone risk. UK school holidays and the festive season push fares up, so the price charts on this page show the cheapest dates for your route.
Main gateway cities & airports
The main gateway is Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) near Plaisance in the south-east, about 48 km from the capital Port Louis. It is the island's only international airport and serves the whole of Mauritius.
Airlines and routes
British Airways and Air Mauritius fly direct from London Heathrow to Mauritius in around 12 hours. For connecting options — often better value — Emirates (via Dubai), Kenya Airways (via Nairobi) and Turkish Airlines (via Istanbul) also serve the island from the UK.
Popular places to visit in Mauritius
- Le Morne Brabant: a UNESCO-listed peninsula with a dramatic mountain and superb beaches
- Chamarel: the famous Seven Coloured Earths and a scenic waterfall
- Port Louis: the lively capital, Caudan Waterfront and central market
- Black River Gorges National Park: forest trails and native wildlife
- Île aux Cerfs: a picture-perfect island for beaches and watersports
Top tips for finding cheap flights to Mauritius
- Book a few months ahead, especially for peak honeymoon and festive dates.
- Travel in the shoulder months to avoid UK school-holiday premiums.
- Compare direct and one-stop options — a connection can bring the fare down.
- Be flexible with dates — midweek departures are often cheaper.
Travel essentials
- Visa: UK travellers do not need a visa — a free entry permit is granted on arrival for tourism
- Health: no special vaccinations are required for most UK travellers
- Currency: the Mauritian rupee (MUR)
Baggage & hand-luggage allowance for flights to Mauritius
Your allowance to Mauritius depends on the airline and the fare you book. The table below shows typical long-haul allowances so you know roughly what to expect — always confirm the exact limits with your airline before you fly.
| Fare type | Hand baggage | Checked baggage |
|---|---|---|
| Basic / Light economy | 1 small under-seat bag | Usually none — add for a fee |
| Standard economy | 1 cabin bag + 1 personal item | Typically 1 × 23 kg |
| Premium economy | 1–2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 23 kg |
| Business / First | 2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 32 kg |
Indicative only. Allowances vary by airline, route and fare — always check your airline's baggage policy.
Packing & baggage tips
- Full-service carriers (e.g. British Airways, Turkish Airlines, KLM) usually include a checked bag on long-haul economy fares; basic/low-cost fares often don't.
- Cabin (hand) bag size is commonly around 56 × 45 × 25 cm — confirm your airline's limit before you pack.
- Liquids in hand luggage must be in containers of 100 ml or less, inside one clear resealable bag.
- Weigh your bags at home — airport excess-baggage fees are far higher than pre-booked allowances.
- Extra or heavier bags are almost always cheaper added online in advance than at the airport.
