With about 6 listed daily departures or connections and a 6h 40m journey in the data, the stronger itinerary is often the one that keeps the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport arrival clean. The market pattern is long-haul international itinerary, not a simple shuttle.
'The calendar matters on Durban-Mauritius: February is the softer month in the route data, while June-August is the window to treat carefully. Use six to twelve weeks outside school breaks as the buying range and judge each result against about 6 listed daily departures or connections, not only against the headline fare. Coastal routes punish the Friday-out, Sunday-back pattern before they punish midweek trips. If two prices are close, choose the flight that protects the arrival day in Mauritius. A late landing or long handover can erase the saving quickly.'
