Go Saucer
Hey Fyingsaucer,
I'd suggest that you give it a try! Afterall it'll be a change, beautiful island with lots of cosmopolitans. I know some expats are not very happy with the management but doesnot mean that you won't be treated nice. There has been recent changes in management.
Try to have a read at the lastest post "Air Mauritius - all you need to know about MK (threads merged)"
Good Luck
