Cached-fare history: across 6 months, Sep is the cheapest for SHA → MRU. Best time to be there: May–Dec.
Fares bottom out in September around $1,032 and peak in December near $1,204 — a $172 spread across the 6 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 3 stops and takes about 19.5 hours outbound, on a 7-night trip — ticketed under Vietjet, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $1,236 for 8,896 km each way, that works out to about $69 per 1,000 km flown. That is above the $44 typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 28 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Mauritius, this fare ranks 26th — 2.2× the $563 we hold from Barcelona. For context, the middle fare among the 38 routes of similar length we watch out of Shanghai is $773. Across the 6 months of prices we hold for this route the typical fare is $1,165, so at $1,236 this one is $71 above it — no discount to claim here.

What is the cheapest month to fly from Shanghai to Mauritius?
Across 6 months of cached-fare history, Sep 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 SHA → 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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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, Sep comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Shanghai to Mauritius?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Vietjet. 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.
