BA London to Mauritius
Is it me or is this service in terminal decline.
Seem to recall first flying the route in 2000 as a Club passenger with overnight flights both ways. Could be wrong. Since then the frequency of the service seems to have diminished and the schedule out and in has become a bit lame. 1pm ish outbound from Gatwick, 3 days a week, and 7.30am departure for the return ( now that's a charter airline time to get up to catch that one.) No Friday night outbound which is a downer. No Virgin on the route ( which was good for a time) so it's Air Mauritius :sad: or Emirates stopping; have done the latter a few times but it's a schlepp. Anyone know why the BA service is the way it is? |
They've got 3 x weekly Maldives schedule on different days so maybe timings are best way to utilise one aircraft for both these holiday destinations.

mainly a holiday destination and the sort of holiday where almost everyone takes a package of some sort - not say like the USA where people buy flights, hotels, cars etc separately
Once the Thomas Cooks of this world started to get long haul aircraft BA just can't compete with them |

Thanks, I'd not noticed the Sunday 787 Thompson flight appear.
And to think they resisted charter flights for so long in Mauritius:hmm: |
