How do you fly from Delhi to Mauritius?
Delhi has no regular year-round non-stop to Mauritius at the time of review, so check Air Mauritius for any seasonal Delhi service. The usual routes are:
| Route | Airlines | Typical total time |
|---|---|---|
| Via Mumbai | Air Mauritius or Air India | 10–13 hours |
| Via Dubai | Emirates | 12–14 hours |
Flights leave from Terminal 3 at Delhi. Book the whole journey on one ticket, so a delay on the Delhi–Mumbai leg is the airline's problem, not yours.
What are the best flight timings?
Mauritius is 1 hour 30 minutes behind India. The Mumbai–Mauritius leg takes about 6 hours, and many departures are timed to land in the afternoon, which fits a 2 pm hotel check-in. Avoid itineraries that need an airport change in Mumbai.
Baggage
Air Mauritius, Air India and Emirates are all full-service airlines with meals and checked baggage included, though the exact allowance depends on fare brand. If you book separate domestic and international tickets, the lower domestic limit (often 15 kg) applies to the first leg.
Getting from the airport to your hotel
The airport is at Plaisance in the south-east. Transfers are often included in hotel packages; otherwise a taxi costs about MUR 2,000–3,000 (₹3,800–5,700). Grand Baie in the north takes 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, Flic en Flac in the west about 50–60 minutes, and Belle Mare on the east coast about 45 minutes.
When to book
Book 6–8 weeks ahead for October–December (Diwali and honeymoon season) and May–June. July–September, the Mauritian winter, and February–March, which can bring cyclones, are usually cheapest.
Tips for families and seniors
- A Mumbai connection breaks the journey into manageable legs for children and older parents.
- Request wheelchair help at booking; it is arranged for both legs on one ticket.
- Carry printed hotel confirmations — immigration often asks for them.
