Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International (MRU) is at Plaine Magnien near Mahébourg in the southeast, not in Port Louis.

Before you book

Match the transfer to your side of the island

An arrival at MRU still leaves a journey to Port Louis or your coastal accommodation. Use the full hotel address when arranging transport and confirm reception hours for an early or late arrival. The airport’s official taxi information provides a starting point for checking the collection arrangements.

Check baggage again for Rodrigues

If continuing to Rodrigues, tell us before the international ticket is chosen. Air Mauritius publishes different cabin-baggage limits for Rodrigues flights, so an international allowance should not be assumed to carry over. Check the ticket arrangement, baggage handling and available connection time for both outward and return journeys.

Prepare the current arrival paperwork

Check Mauritius entry requirements for your passport, including official arrival-form instructions and any onward-travel evidence. FCDO advice addresses British citizen passports and links the government travel form. Save the required confirmations before departure and review the process again close to travel.

Questions and answers

Does a Port Louis flight land in the capital?

MRU serves Mauritius from the southeast near Mahébourg. Port Louis is a separate ground journey. Give the transfer provider your actual destination, even if a booking search uses the capital’s name.

Can I combine Mauritius and Rodrigues?

Share the number of nights on each island and your luggage needs. We can compare available flights and explain whether the sectors are ticketed together, including the implications of a delayed connection.

Should I plan an island connection on separate tickets?

Compare the overall arrangement first. Separate bookings may require collecting bags and checking in again, with different change rules if the first flight is late. Include enough time for those steps and a backup plan.
