The following airlines operate regular services between Pune 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 Pune to Mauritius for leisure, drawn to the island's beaches and resorts. Mauritius offers a mix of natural beauty and cultural experiences, making it a popular destination for families and honeymooners alike. Expect a tropical climate and a relaxed atmosphere.

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 and can experience cyclones. October and November are shoulder season with pleasant weather and fewer crowds.
