Many long-haul fares include one bag; low-cost carriers price each bag separately. Check the fare rules.
- Airport transfer · Arriving by air
The local transport line budgets getting around, not a private transfer. Check whether your stay includes one.
- Travel insurance · An international trip
Medical cover abroad and trip cancellation. Priced by the insurer for your party and dates.
- SIM or eSIM · An international trip
Roaming or a local data plan for the days you are away.
- Tips and service charges · Any trip
Customs differ by country; restaurants and drivers may expect them.
- Souvenirs and gifts · Any trip

About Mauritius
An island in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar, with one international airport in the southeast and a road network that makes a rental car or taxis the practical way to move; a light rail line links Port Louis with towns inland. Beaches, hiking and the interior highlands are the draw. Winter from June to September is cooler and drier, summer is hot and humid, with cyclone risk from January to March.
