Quick answer
Which London airport should you fly from to Mauritius?
Air Mauritius publishes its UK service from both London Heathrow and London Gatwick, so unusually you get a genuine choice of London airport on the same airline to the same island.
That is rare on a long-haul leisure route, and it changes the journey more than the fare: Gatwick and Heathrow are an hour and a half apart by road and serve different parts of the country by rail.
Which airport operates on a given date is the airline's schedule, not a fixed rule. Our guide fare is £1,577 return, checked.
Decide the airport on how you reach it and what time you want to land, then ask us to price that one — not the other way round.
- Air Mauritius publishes UK service from Heathrow and Gatwick
- Both fly to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International (MRU)
- Mauritius has one international airport
- London is priced as one figure, not split by airport
- The island is a long-haul leisure route, so dates dominate

Mauritius is one of very few long-haul leisure routes where the same airline will fly you from either of two London airports. That makes the first question a practical one about getting to the airport, not a commercial one about the fare.
Two London airports, one airline, one island
Air Mauritius publishes its United Kingdom service from both London Heathrow and London Gatwick to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU). Most long-haul destinations give you one London option and a take-it-or-leave-it departure time. Here you have a real choice, and it is worth using deliberately.
The two airports are roughly an hour and a half apart by road and sit on different rail networks. For a traveller in the south of England, Gatwick can be materially easier; from the Midlands or the north, Heathrow usually is. On a leisure trip where you are likely to be carrying luggage and possibly travelling with family, that difference is worth more than a modest fare gap.
Which airport operates on a given date is the airline's schedule rather than a standing rule, so we confirm it when we quote rather than assuming the pattern holds.
Our fare ladder does not answer the airport question
Our current indicative business class guide fare to Mauritius is £1,577 return, checked.
There is an honest limit to what the departure board can tell you here. London is priced as one figure here — it is not split Heathrow from Gatwick — so the board shows you the London fare, not which London airport it belongs to. We are not going to dress that up. When you enquire we confirm the airport, the airline and the routing on the dated quote.
What the board does show clearly is the regional ladder, and on Mauritius it is unusually wide for a route of this type. If you are starting outside London, ask for your own airport's figure before assuming a London departure plus a train is the cheaper trip.
One airport, one island, and what that removes
Mauritius has a single international airport. There is no second-airport mistake available to you, no domestic connection to arrange and no ambiguity about which arrival serves which resort — the island is small enough that the airport serves all of it, and the transfer difference between the north and the south-west coasts is a matter of tens of minutes rather than a separate ticket.
That is genuinely unusual among long-haul beach destinations, and it is the reason a Mauritius itinerary is simpler to get right than a Maldives or a Seychelles one, where the arrival airport is the start of a second journey rather than the end of the first.
If you are weighing the Indian Ocean islands against each other, Seychelles and the Maldives price separately and behave differently once you land.
What we will and will not tell you about cabins here
First class is indicatively from £3,776 on current guide fares. We confirm what is genuinely bookable on your dates rather than treating a figure as a promise of a cabin.
One deliberate omission. Our premium economy figure for Mauritius sits close enough to the business class figure that we do not think the comparison is currently useful, and we would rather say that than present the two side by side as though the gap were meaningful. If premium economy is what you want on this route, ask us and we will price it properly against what is actually available.
Before you choose your airport
- Decide Heathrow or Gatwick on how you reach it and what time you want to land — then ask us to price that airport.
- Confirm which London airport the fare you are quoted actually uses.
- If you are outside London, get your own airport's figure before assuming a train to London is cheaper overall.
- The arrival is MRU, and it is the island's only international airport.
- Ask what the fare rules allow if the return has to move — leisure dates change more often than business ones.
Air Mauritius publishes UK flights from both Heathrow and Gatwick. Our guide to business class across Africa and the Indian Ocean compares that with the other arrivals in the region.

What do travellers ask about business class to Mauritius?
Prefer to talk? +447348617176 .
How much is business class to Mauritius from the UK?
Our current indicative guide fare is £1,577 return, checked. The regional UK ladder on this route is unusually wide, so it is worth asking for your own airport rather than assuming London.
Can I fly to Mauritius from Gatwick?
Air Mauritius publishes its UK service from both London Gatwick and London Heathrow. Which one operates on your dates is the airline's schedule rather than a fixed rule, so we confirm the airport on the quote.
Is Heathrow or Gatwick better for Mauritius?
Neither, in the abstract — it depends on how you reach them. They are about an hour and a half apart by road and sit on different rail networks. On a leisure trip with luggage, that usually matters more than a modest fare difference.
Which airport does this Mauritius fare use?
Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU). Mauritius has one international airport, so there is no second-airport decision and no domestic connection to arrange.
Does the Mauritius page show which London airport the fare is from?
No, and we would rather say so. London is priced as one figure here and is not split between Heathrow from Gatwick. We confirm the airport when we quote your dates.
How does Mauritius compare with the Maldives or Seychelles?
Mostly in what happens after you land. Mauritius has one airport that serves the whole island, so arrival is the end of the journey. In the Maldives and Seychelles the arrival airport is often the start of a second transfer. All three price separately we cover.
Is first class available to Mauritius?
We currently hold a first class fare from £3,776. Whether it tickets on your dates depends on the carrier and the aircraft, and we confirm that rather than treating the figure as a promise of a cabin.
What about premium economy to Mauritius?
We are deliberately not presenting a premium economy comparison: our current figure for it sits close enough to the business class figure that the comparison would not be useful. Ask us and we will price premium economy against what is actually available on your dates.
When is Mauritius most expensive?
UK school holidays and the European winter-sun window are the pressure points on any Indian Ocean beach route. We will tell you if your dates land in one rather than publishing a seasonal price table we cannot stand behind.
Are these Mauritius fares guaranteed?
No. They are dated indicative guide fares, checked. On this route the cabin you end up choosing moves the figure as much as the dates do, which is why the premium economy comparison is worth reading before you decide.
How do I get a Mauritius business class quote?
Use the enquiry form above or email info@expertsbusinessfirst.co.uk. Tell us which London airport suits you, or your regional airport, and we will price that rather than guessing.
