India lists Mauritius among visa-free destinations for Indian ordinary passport holders, though the immigration officer decides the length of stay. Check the winter schedule that started after 24 October.

Mauritius is a favourite for Indian honeymooners and families, and Air Mauritius is the home carrier on the route. Here is what its own published timetable and official sources say, and what you still need to confirm yourself.
Which Indian cities does Air Mauritius fly from?
The airline’s summer 2026 timetable, covering 29 March to 24 October 2026, lists three Indian cities: Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai. It shows 4 weekly flights to and from Mumbai (3 weekly in October 2026), and 1 weekly flight each to and from Delhi and Chennai. The airline’s India website also offers fares to Mauritius from a wider list of Indian cities, which may include journeys that connect rather than fly direct, so check the routing shown before you pay.
The timetable ended on 24 October 2026. This guide could not find the winter 2026-27 summary, so frequencies from 25 October are unconfirmed. Check the airline’s current timetable page before you book.
Is Mauritius visa-free for Indians?
India’s Ministry of External Affairs lists Mauritius among the destinations where Indian ordinary passport holders do not need a visa, for any purpose of visit. Mauritius’ Passport and Immigration Office says the immigration officer decides how long a person may stay on any particular visit, that visas and extensions of stay are issued free of charge, and that a maximum of six months may be granted in a calendar year on a case-by-case basis.
Different websites quote different stay periods, such as 30, 60 or 90 days. Because the official page does not fix one number, this guide does not either. Mauritius’ Ministry of Tourism says a valid passport and a return or onward ticket are a must, so carry both, and never overstay: the Passport and Immigration Office says staying beyond the permitted period is an offence that can lead to prosecution.
What are the baggage and check-in rules?
Air Mauritius’s India fares page states an economy allowance of 23kg (1 to 2 pieces) depending on the route, and 15kg for travel to Rodrigues. Treat that as a general guide only, because the allowance on your own ticket is what applies. The page also has a Check-in link under Book and Manage, but it does not state timings, so read the airline’s check-in page for your flight.
- Confirm the allowance on your ticket before you pack.
- Check the airline’s own check-in page for when online check-in opens.
- Keep passport, return ticket and accommodation details together in your cabin bag.
How do you pick the right flight?
With only a few weekly departures from Delhi and Chennai, the days you can travel matter more than the fare. Look at your dates first, then compare the airlines that serve your route. Mumbai has more frequencies, so it can offer more choice if you can reach it. The timetable also lists daily Air Mauritius flights to Rodrigues, so an island-hopping trip can be added once you land.
A small aviation fact: the airline’s own site names Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport as the arrival airport in Mauritius, so that is where you will land from India.
What should you prepare before you fly?
Start with the booking. Match the name on your ticket to your passport exactly, and save the e-ticket where you can open it offline. Because the Delhi and Chennai flights are infrequent, a missed or cancelled departure can mean a long wait for the next one, so give yourself a cushion on both ends of the trip, especially if you have a hotel or tour booked on the first night.
Next, think about the connection if you are not starting from Mumbai, Delhi or Chennai. A single ticket from your home city is usually safer than two separate bookings, because the airline then looks after the onward flight if the first leg is late. If you do book separately, leave a comfortable gap and keep your baggage allowances in mind, since each ticket can have its own rules.
Finally, set a price alert for your dates. Fares to island destinations often move around school holidays and festivals, so a few weeks of watching can help you pick a good moment to book.
