SkyTeam member Air France currently sells discounted tickets to Mauritius. With departure from Budapest, you can reach the island in the Indian Ocean for as little as €881 (~HUF 338,049). The only caveat is that you need to spend one night in Paris on your inbound flight, as it is not possible to connect to Budapest on the same day. This price is a Premium Standard fare, meaning it does not only come with extra space on your long-haul flight, but also Sky Priority services and two checked bags of 23kg each. Departures are available between December to March 2025.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to KLM with your selected flight dates.
Flights between Budapest and Paris are Air France A320 family services. Some are operated by chartered Boeing 737 aircraft. In any case, you will be seated in economy class. The long-haul flights are on Boeing 777 aircraft with a 2-4-2 seating pattern in premium economy.
Search & Book
This fare is valid without an expiration or travel period. You have to stay at least six days or one night from Saturday to Sunday on the island to get the cheapest tickets. Departures are available between December to March 2025.
Finding these fares is a bit difficult, as Google Flights displays wildly inaccurate prices. To give you an indicator: Most dates that Google marks for €1,100 or less are actually €200 cheaper on Air France’s website. Departures are available between January to March 2025.
Since the cheapest tickets are only available on the airline’s website, we recommend purchasing them right there.

Information & Tips for Mauritius
Mauritius, an island nation in the Indian Ocean, is known for its volcanic landscapes, coral reefs, and multicultural heritage. Key sights include the white-sand beaches of Flic-en-Flac and Belle Mare, the scenic Black River Gorges National Park, the Seven Coloured Earths in Chamarel, and the capital, Port Louis, with its lively market and waterfront. The local currency is the Mauritian rupee (MUR). Prices are moderate: meals and local transport are affordable, while imported goods and high-end resorts can be costly. The climate is tropical, with warm temperatures year-round—hot and humid from November to April, and cooler, drier weather from May to October.
Getting around Mauritius is relatively straightforward but can be slow due to narrow roads and frequent traffic, especially around Port Louis. Buses are the main form of public transport, cheap and fairly extensive, though not always punctual. Taxis and ride-hailing services are widely available but more expensive. For longer distances or exploring rural areas, renting a car is common, though driving is on the left and parking can be limited in towns. The island also has a growing light rail system connecting parts of the central region, but coverage remains limited outside major urban areas.
