Airline and stops
You'll fly with Norwegian Air Shuttle. The outbound flight includes 2 stops, so it's not direct: expect several hours of connections. The sample outbound departs Oslo on 13 November at 07:30, and the return is 20 November at 09:25. Stops are necessary on routes this long, and Norwegian typically handles connections smoothly.
Best time to visit
November is a solid choice: it's the transition into austral summer in Mauritius, with pleasant temperatures (24-28°C) and less rain than December-January. The prices you're seeing (€915-€933) reflect mid-season, not peak or low. If you want drier beaches and fewer crowds, November-December is your window: go for the €915 price point.
What to do when you arrive
Mauritius means beaches, coral reefs and nature. Spend days exploring the north (Grand Baie, Cap Malheureux), east (Palmar, Belle Mare) and south (Le Morne, Bel Ombre). Don't miss the Coloured Mountain in Black River Gorges, Port Louis market and the Botanical Gardens at Pamplemousses. Eat Mauritian curry, try local rum and dive or kitesurf if it's your thing. Seven nights is enough.
