Peak season:

Finding cheap flights to Mauritius can be difficult as it doesn’t really have an off season. December to March is most popular if you want to go diving and June to August is big for surfing. October to April is the best time if you are hoping for some big game fishing. You should try to secure your flight tickets as early in advance as you can, regardless of when you are planning to visit. Christmas and New Years’ are also very popular and cheap flights to Mauritius are almost impossible to find so it might be worth avoiding this time of year if you are on a tight budget. There are also a few festivals which rise up the cost of flight tickets, such as the Cavadi in January/February. This is a Hindu festival and is amazing to witness if you are on the island at the time.

Off season:

There isn’t much of an off season at all so finding the cheapest flights to Mauritius is a hard task. Make sure you plan ahead and avoid school holidays if you want any chance of discounted flight tickets.
