AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
If your bags are checked through to your final destination on a single itinerary, transit is much faster since you skip baggage reclaim.
Arrive with buffer during early morning and late evening banks when European and Asian long-haul flights cluster and immigration queues lengthen.
Rodrigues Island flights depart from a small dedicated area, so ask ground staff early if you need directions since signage is limited.
Duty-free and lounge options are modest, so don't expect a long layover to be entertaining beyond basic shopping and one or two lounges.
Air Mauritius ground staff are generally helpful with tight connections, so seek them out immediately if you're worried about making a tight transfer.

Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
MRU has one main terminal, so all connections are done on foot with no train or shuttle needed. Passengers on separate tickets or arriving from outside the transit agreement zone must exit through immigration, collect bags, and re-clear security before re-entering departures, which adds meaningfully to the process. Rodrigues Island flights (technically domestic) use a small dedicated section near the main hall, an easy walk from the international concourse.
