Cached-fare history: across 6 months, Oct is the cheapest for LON → MRU. Best time to be there: May–Dec.
Fares bottom out in October around $857 and peak in March near $989 — a $132 spread across the 6 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 13 hours outbound, on a 10-night trip — ticketed under Ethiopian, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $857 for 9,733 km each way, that works out to about $44 per 1,000 km flown. That is about the $44 typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 28 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Mauritius, this fare ranks 10th — 52% above the $563 from Barcelona. For context, the middle fare among the 36 routes of similar length we watch out of London is $670.

LON → MRU, answered.
Is $857 a good price for London to Mauritius?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $885 round-trip and this fare is 3% under it, about $28. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from London to Mauritius?
Across 6 months of cached-fare history, Oct comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Mauritius are May–Dec — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book LON → Mauritius?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 6 months of cached fares, Oct comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from London to Mauritius?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Ethiopian. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
