Mauritius Tour Packages from Chennai (2026): Flights, Timings & Itineraries
The most useful fact for Chennai travellers is simple: the Chennai nonstop was listed once a week each way at the time of writing (17 September 2026) — out on Tuesday landing around 12:30 and back on Monday night. A Mauritius Tour Package from Chennai built on those two flights is exactly 6 nights. So your dates hinge on that Tuesday-to-Monday rhythm. Check the airline for current schedules before you lock hotels.
Mauritius Tour Package from Chennai: Chennai to Mauritius Flights Listed This Week
As listed at the time of writing (17 September 2026), Air Mauritius ran the only nonstop link on this route. FlightsFrom.com schedules for the weeks of 21–27 September and 28 September–4 October 2026 showed Air Mauritius MK747 from Chennai to Mauritius on Tuesday. It departs Chennai at 08:05 from Terminal 2 and lands in Mauritius around 12:30 local time. The aircraft was listed as an Airbus A330-200. So you get a morning take-off and a midday landing.
That midday landing matters a lot for Chennai travellers. Because you leave at 08:05, you must reach Chennai Airport early, but you still land with half a day left. Also, an arrival around 12:30 means immigration, bags and the drive to your hotel still leave time for an evening walk on the beach. For that reason, most Mauritius tour packages count Tuesday as Day 1 without planning a full tour that day. Then you settle in and start fresh on Wednesday.
Return nonstop from Mauritius to Chennai
The return was listed as Air Mauritius MK746 on Monday night. It departs Mauritius at 22:35 and lands in Chennai around 06:05 next-day local time. In plain terms, you fly Monday night and reach Chennai early Tuesday morning. The aircraft was also listed as an Airbus A330-200. And since arrival times are approximate, treat around 06:05 as a guide and check the airline for current schedules.
A late-night departure shapes your last day in a good way. Because the flight leaves at 22:35, Monday is still usable. You can keep the room for a few extra hours where the hotel allows, have lunch, do last-minute shopping, then head for the airport in the evening. However, you should confirm pick-up time with TripCabinet in advance, since traffic and check-out rules vary by hotel.
The key pattern is frequency. The nonstop was listed once a week each way — out on Tuesday and back on Monday night. So a Tuesday-to-Monday trip is exactly 6 nights. That is why Chennai to Mauritius flights suit a fixed 6-night plan so well. If you want fewer or more nights, you will need a one-stop route instead. Still, for a clean week-long break, this pairing is hard to beat.

How the flight times shape your Mauritius trip
Flight times decide more than airports. They decide when you can check in, when you can sail, and how tired you feel on Day 2. So plan your Mauritius honeymoon package or family trip around the Tuesday landing and the Monday night take-off. Then every day gets full value.
Day 1 on the Tuesday nonstop
MK747 lands around 12:30, so Day 1 is a half day by design. After immigration and the transfer, most Chennai arrivals reach North or West coast hotels by mid-afternoon. Because of that, keep Day 1 light. Check in, rest, visit the nearby beach, and take an early dinner. Then you wake up fresh for Ile aux Cerfs or North Island touring on Day 2. Also, a morning departure from Chennai means an early start, so sleep well the night before.
Last day on the Monday night return
MK746 departs at 22:35 on Monday, so Monday is a near-full day. You can have breakfast, store bags after check-out, and fit in South Island sights, a catamaran trip, or market shopping. For example, many travellers keep Grand Baie or Port Louis for this last stretch because transfers are simpler. After dinner, you head to the airport for the night flight and land in Chennai around 06:05 on Tuesday. In fact, that late flight saves you one hotel night.
Other trip lengths via Bengaluru or Mumbai
What if you cannot travel Tuesday to Monday? Then other lengths mean connecting via Bengaluru or Mumbai. A 5-night, 7-night or 8-night plan from Chennai will use a one-stop route on at least one side. While times change often, the logic stays the same: use the nonstop where it fits, and connect where it does not. Our team handles the bookings and lines up hotels with your actual landing time. For cost sense, read our Mauritius trip cost from India note before you fix days.
What to do if the Chennai nonstop does not suit your dates
If the Tuesday-out or Monday-back timing clashes with leave, school dates or a wedding, do not force it. From Chennai, the practical backup is a one-stop flight via Bengaluru or Mumbai on the leg that does not fit. That keeps your trip length flexible and still brings you into Mauritius with time to spare. Because schedules shift by season, check the airline for current schedules.
TripCabinet takes care of everything in that case. Our team plans your trip around the best link for your dates, sets transfers to match your actual landing time, and spaces tours so a late arrival does not waste Day 2. So tell us your fixed dates first, then we suggest the cleanest Chennai link. Instead of chasing random fares, you get one clear plan with hotels, tours and flights lined up.

Before you fly: entry checklist for Indians
Keep papers and cash rules ready. See the Mauritius destination hub for trip planning, and this official note:
- Admission is decided by the Immigration Officer at entry.
- Tourist stay is for a short holiday; up to six months in a calendar year may be granted case by case.
- Visas and stay extensions are issued free of charge.
- Confirm your visa need on the Mauritius Passport and Immigration Office country list.
- Leaving with over Rs 500,000 in valuables needs a Currency Form; same rule was announced for arrivals — see our customs rules for jewellery and cash.
Tuesday out, Monday back, six nights in hand — that is the Chennai formula. If those days work, lock them early. TripCabinet will plan the rest.
