Peak season:
Finding cheap flights to Mauritius can be difficult as it doesn’t really have an off season. December to March is most popular if you want to go diving and June to August is big for surfing. October to April is the best time if you are hoping for some big game fishing. You should try to secure your flight tickets as early in advance as you can, regardless of when you are planning to visit. Christmas and New Years’ are also very popular and cheap flights to Mauritius are almost impossible to find so it might be worth avoiding this time of year if you are on a tight budget. There are also a few festivals which rise up the cost of flight tickets, such as the Cavadi in January/February. This is a Hindu festival and is amazing to witness if you are on the island at the time.
Off season:
There isn’t much of an off season at all so finding the cheapest flights to Mauritius is a hard task. Make sure you plan ahead and avoid school holidays if you want any chance of discounted flight tickets.

If weather is an important factor for your trip to Mauritius, use this chart to help with planning. For those seeking warmer temperatures, January is the ideal time of year to visit, when temperatures reach an average of 26.0 C. Travellers hoping to avoid the cold should look outside of July, when temperatures are typically at their lowest (around 21.0 C).
The best time to book your flights to Mauritius depends entirely on your reasons for going. Some months will have the cheapest flights to Mauritius but if you want to go big game fishing, booking your flight for June won’t really benefit you. If you are visiting purely to relax and enjoy the sun then you’ll have a better chance of finding cheap flight tickets, especially if you can be flexible too. Flexibility can be your best friend when trying to find the cheapest flights to Mauritius but even then you should aim to book your flight tickets as early as you can. If you can, try to sit on the right hand side of the plane for stunning views as you approach.

Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport is located near Plaisance, south-east of Port Louis, Mauritius’ capital. It is named after the island-country’s first prime minister.
Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International comprises one terminal building with two levels, with Arrivals on the ground floor and Departures on the upper floor. Current development plans include the construction of a second terminal building, which will connect to the existing terminal. MRU is restricted to passengers only, meaning non-passengers are not permitted to enter the building. As such, there are no landside shops or restaurants.
Save for delays and queues during peak holiday seasons, Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International is generally efficient and a pleasure to use. The interior of the terminal building has a warm atmosphere and staff are polite and helpful. Although fairly small and lacking in terms of shops and facilities, the airport possesses a distinct charm synonymous with island-style airports, thus making for a pleasant start (or end) to your island getaway.
