Delhi to Mauritius Flights

The Delhi to Mauritius air route connects Indira Gandhi Airport (DEL) to Sir Seewoosagur (MRU). This is one of the busiest international routes with multiple daily departures operated by 4 airlines.

As an international route, travellers need a valid passport and appropriate visa for the destination country. It's recommended to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights.

Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Delhi and Mauritius. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Many Indians travel from Delhi to Mauritius for vacations, honeymoons, and business trips. Mauritius is known for its beaches, lagoons, and reefs, offering a relaxing and scenic escape.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Mauritius is from May to December when the weather is cool, dry, and sunny. Avoid January and February, which are the wettest months with potential cyclones.

Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) is well-connected to the city center. Taxis are readily available outside the airport, costing around 1500-2000 MUR to Port Louis. Several bus routes also connect the airport to various parts of the island, which is a cheaper option.
