their baguette hot dogs are a real treat before your flight. - _Time_: Allow a 45-60 minute drive to Port Louis due to unpredictable traffic, particularly during rush hour. - _Money_: Withdraw some cash at airport ATMs to handle taxis and minor purchases, as payment terminals can be unreliable. - _Avoid_: Avoid paying inflated taxi fares by pre-booking a transfer; it's cheaper and avoids the hustle outside arrivals. - _Local_: Use the duty-free shops in arrivals to stock up on rum and wine; it’s a better deal than buying at hotels. - _Insider_: Head straight to immigration post-arrival to avoid long queues if several wide-body jets land simultaneously. - _Avoid_: For early flights, have your meal before arriving at the airport as airside dining options are limited early morning. --- ## Live data Live arrivals, departures, and weather are not in this static reference.
