Air Mauritius Travel Smart Program



Travel Smart Logo


Travel in low season and save!


Air Mauritius’ Travel Smart Program offers value added benefits to encourage South African travellers to visit the tropical island in low, cool seasons. The value proposition targets all market segments including corporate travel, conferencing, incentives, MICE, travel agents and tour operators. It offers more value for money with benefits like business class lounge access, increased luggage allowances, free trips for children and discounts for honeymooners.

The Travel Smart Program gives consumers reduced airfares and benefits throughout the year during low season periods. With this program, a family of four travelling in May 2011, can save up to R8 550. Terms and conditions apply.

Leading hotels in Mauritius also offer additional benefits when travelling on the Travel Smart Program through our tour operator partners including Beachcomber, Thompsons, Club Med, Holiday Factory, World Leisure Holidays, Holiday Tours, Infinity (Flight Centre), Naïade Holidays and Traveller’s Choice. In South Africa, the Protea Hotel Group and Europcar are also partners on this program.

For more information, contact Air Mauritius on +27 87 1511 848 or any of the above partners.
