Cheap Flights from Dublin to Mauritius

September is the month this route prices lowest, and it sits in the island's cooler, drier stretch, so the saving does not cost you the weather. The year then splits in two: the southern summer, from November through April, is hot and humid with a chance of tropical storms, while May to October is the milder, calmer half. Fares climb around Christmas and New Year, over Easter and through the Irish summer school holidays, so book those weeks early if your dates are fixed, or price midweek departures against weekend ones if they are not.

Turkish Airlines is the anchor name here, selling the pairing as one ticket with a change in Istanbul, and the European network carriers follow the same pattern from their hubs: British Airways via London, Air France via Paris, KLM via Amsterdam, Swiss via Zurich. Etihad and Saudi Arabian Airlines instead route their combinations through the Gulf. Air Mauritius frequently operates the ocean leg inside fares sold by the European lines, and HOP! or BA CityFlyer can appear on the short feeder hop to the hub. None of the names here is low-cost, but fare families still differ, and the lightest tickets can leave checked baggage out, so check what each fare bundles.

Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International is a single, compact terminal, so the walk from aircraft to kerb is short and the wait you actually feel is immigration when several long-haul arrivals land together. The bigger journey starts outside: the airport sits at the island's south-eastern corner, while most of the resort coasts stretch along the north and west, so the drive to your base varies with where you stay and deserves planning before you fly. Taxis, hotel shuttles and pre-booked drivers meet incoming flights, public buses run but are slow with luggage, and it pays to agree the fare before you get in and to fix the return trip at the same time.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check the passport validity and entry rules Mauritius applies to Irish citizens before you book.
• Book the journey as one ticket, or read the terms closely if you build a self-transfer combination yourself.
• Leave a margin above the airline's minimum connection time at the changing hub.
• Compare baggage across fare families, since the lightest tickets can leave checked bags out.
• Price September against the southern summer weeks, when holiday demand lifts connecting fares.
• Arrange the transfer from the airport to your coast before departure, because the airport sits far from most of the resorts.
