Editorial snapshot
Flying to the French Southern Territories is not a casual weekend decision. Fares are substantial, routing is indirect for most of the world, and the truly remote territories — Kerguelen, Crozet, the Scattered Islands — are not accessible by commercial aviation at all. What you get in return is a destination that almost no one else has been to. Book well in advance for Réunion and Mayotte; flexibility on dates can shave a meaningful amount off the fare.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
The southern hemisphere calendar drives everything here. Réunion's cyclone season runs roughly December through March, pushing fares down but adding real weather risk. The southern winter months of June through August bring the clearest skies, the best hiking conditions on the volcano, and predictably higher fares. Book at least 10-12 weeks out for peak-season travel.
| Month | Price Band | Demand | Travel note |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | Mid | Medium | Cyclone risk on Réunion; warm and wet across territories. |
| February | Budget | Low | Peak cyclone season; lowest fares but outdoor access limited. |
| March | Budget | Low | Tail end of cyclone season; fares remain low, weather improving. |
| April | Mid | Medium | Shoulder season; good conditions emerging on Réunion. |
| May | Mid | Medium | Dry season beginning; pleasant temperatures for hiking. |
| June | Peak | High | School holidays in France drive demand and fares up sharply. |
| July | Peak | High | Peak month; French summer holidays, best volcano hiking conditions. |
| August | Peak | High | Still peak season; book well ahead for any availability. |
| September | Mid | Medium | Shoulder; conditions still excellent, fares easing post-August. |
| October | Mid | Medium | Warm and mostly dry; good for Mayotte lagoon snorkeling. |
| November | Mid | Medium | Pre-cyclone season; fares moderate, weather variable. |
| December | Peak | High | Christmas travel spike; fares high despite cyclone season starting. |

IATA: RUN · 8 km from Saint-Denis · 50 km from Saint-Pierre
Roland Garros is the main gateway to the French Southern Territories, handling all long-haul and regional commercial flights to Réunion. The terminal is compact but well-organized, with French customs and immigration procedures that are generally efficient for EU passport holders. Air France and Air Austral operate the majority of services here, with connections routed primarily through Paris Charles de Gaulle.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Taxi | EUR 25-35 to Saint-Denis | 15-25 min to city centre |
| Car rental | EUR 40-70 per day | Self-drive; recommended for exploring the island |
| Bus (Car Jaune network) | EUR 2-4 per journey | 30-50 min to Saint-Denis depending on route |
IATA: DZA · Located on Petite-Terre island · 30 min by ferry to Mamoudzou on Grande-Terre
Dzaoudzi-Pamandzi serves Mayotte and is a smaller, more basic facility than Roland Garros. The airport sits on the smaller of Mayotte's two main islands, so virtually all arrivals need to factor in a ferry crossing to reach the main town of Mamoudzou. Air France and Air Austral operate connecting services here, typically routed via Réunion or Paris.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Taxi to ferry terminal | EUR 5-10 to barge terminal | 5 min to Dzaoudzi barge dock |
| Barge (barge ferry) to Mamoudzou | EUR 2-3 per crossing | 20-30 min across the lagoon |
| Taxi from Mamoudzou | EUR 10-20 within Grande-Terre | 15-40 min depending on destination |
