The cheapest day to depart to Mauritius is usually Sunday, when fares start from around £626 — midweek departures tend to be quieter and cheaper. Wednesday is typically the most expensive day to fly out (around £1033), 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 the morning, with fares from around £618. Departures in the afternoon tend to cost more (about £647), as those slots are more convenient and in higher demand.

The cheapest return flights to Mauritius depart from London Heathrow (LHR), from around £647. London has several airports serving this route and fares can vary between them — Stansted (STN) is often the priciest at around £738. It's worth checking which London airport is both cheapest and most convenient for you before booking.

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 £618, compared with about £890 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

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.

Typical hand and checked baggage allowance by fare type for flights to Mauritius.
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.
