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 Shirdi 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 Indian devotees travel from Shirdi to Mauritius for spiritual reasons and to experience the island's unique cultural blend. Mauritius offers a mix of beautiful beaches, historical sites, and a vibrant Indo-Mauritian community, making it a culturally relevant destination.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Mauritius is from May to December when the weather is cooler and drier. Avoid January and February due to cyclone season. Diwali is celebrated with enthusiasm in Mauritius, reflecting the island's strong Indian cultural ties.

Getting from the airport to Mauritius

Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) is about 50km from Port Louis. Taxis are readily available outside the airport, costing around MUR 1500-2000. Public buses are a cheaper option, costing around MUR 50, but require a transfer in Mahebourg.

Things to do in Mauritius

Visit the Ganga Talao (Grand Bassin), a sacred lake for Hindus outside India. Explore the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden, home to giant water lilies and various plant species. Relax on the beautiful beaches of Belle Mare or Flic en Flac. Discover the Black River Gorges National Park, offering hiking trails and stunning views.

Food to try
