Why choose a Mauritius holiday?

All of this is waiting for you, so being able to fly non-stop to this exotic Eden is just an added bonus.

How long is the flight to Mauritius?

Direct flights to Mauritius from the UK take approximately 12 hours. They are available from London Gatwick to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport, located in Plaine Magnien, to the southeast of the island. If you wish to fly from another UK airport, such as Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham, Belfast or Glasgow, connecting flights are available to London Gatwick, or you could decide to stop elsewhere on your way to Mauritius.

Why choose a direct flight to Mauritius?

Why would you not choose a direct flight to Mauritius? Flying non-stop offers convenience and comfort, as well as saving you from the stress of energy-sapping layovers at busy airports, possible delays and baggage mishaps. You’ll arrive rested and be able to start enjoying your holiday straight away. The time that you save not having to wait to change planes can be spent in the sunshine, whether that’s on the beach, in the pool or at the bar sipping on a cool cocktail or Phoenix beer. For luxury long-haul destinations like Mauritius, a smooth travel experience adds to the overall enjoyment of your holiday.

Which Airlines Fly Direct To Mauritius?

Both Air Mauritius and British Airways operate direct flights to Mauritius from London Gatwick. As Destination2 airline partners, both offer exceptional service and you can expect to arrive relaxed and ready for the holiday of your dreams. Comfortable seats, delicious meals, refreshing drinks and a multitude of inflight entertainment options can be enjoyed on Air Mauritius flights, with the opportunity to travel in economy or business class. Passengers flying with British Airways are treated to an array of movies, irresistible food, beverages and more travelling in economy, while an assortment of extra delights await those in premium economy and business class.

When’s the best time to book direct flights to Mauritius?

The best time to book direct flights to Mauritius is usually between two and five months before your departure date, when you’ll be able to take advantage of a good balance of price and availability. If you plan to take your holiday during the peak school summer holiday months of July and August, the Christmas period between December and January, or the Easter break, booking six months beforehand may be preferable. This ensures you avoid any issues with the rise in demand as seats on direct flights tend to sell out quickly. If you’re looking for cheap flights to Mauritius, consider a midweek departure, on Tuesday or Wednesday. This can often offer better value than if you travel at the weekend. If you have flexibility over when you take your holiday, the shoulder seasons of May to June and September to November are ideal times to find a deal. You’ll also experience fewer crowds and still enjoy superb weather.

Why wait longer than you have to for your dream escape to begin? Take advantage of savings of up to 50%, FREE kids stays*, FREE upgrades and, of course, direct flights. Search our Mauritius holidays and book online today.
