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 €822 (~HUF 323,049). 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 January to March 2025.

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.
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.
