"charge me for changing my seat"

(South Africa)

Trip Verified | It is extremely deceitful to charge me for changing my seat (when checking in) under the pretense of an “extra comfort” seat. I have experienced this behavior from air Mauritius for the past 4 months consistently and would like to understand why you are deceiving your customers in this manner and let others know that the costs for the seat changes are not justified. All seats on your planes are the same and not extra comfort as claimed.

"steer clear of this airline"

(India)

Not Verified | The airline failed to adhere to scheduled departure times, leaving passengers stranded at boarding gates. Extended delays during boarding exacerbate the situation, increasing the likelihood of missed connecting flights. It is strongly advised to steer clear of this airline to prevent potential travel disruptions and inconvenience.

“Don't go anywhere near them”

(Australia)

Trip Verified | When your children ask you why the staff are lying to us? Why are they doing this to us? It tells you everything. Do not use them! Our flight from Mauritius to Perth yesterday 30 Dec 2023, was delayed by 8 hours to 1.45am on 31 Dec despite having booked the lounge (family of 4), not a single member of Air Mauritius staff communicated anything until almost 3am. They then told us the flight would resume at 8pm on the 31st and convinced us at 8am to go to a hotel the booked for us so that we could freshen up and relax. After 3 hours on a bus stinking of cigarette smoke, we are still parked in what I would say is a Motel, no food, or at a charge for most of it, and not allowed to get back to the airport or lounge as it is too early according to Air Mauritius "customer service". I thought they were OK until today. Don't go anywhere near them!! We still don’t know when we will back home, or even when they will pick us up to get back to the Mauritius airport. We never complained once, however, all they cared about was to remove us from the lounge we paid for and the airport so that they wouldn't have to care for us. I have taken video and photo evidence of the poor quality lounge and hotel booked which is a true reflection of the airline. Never again.

"worst airline I’ve ever travelled"

(South Africa)

Not Verified | Hands-down the worst airline I’ve ever travelled. We booked our tickets six months in advance, yet were allocated the worst seats on the plane, outbound, with only the opportunity to pay an additional fee to move seats within the same class. Then on the inbound leg we weren’t even allocated seats next to one another. The in-flight entertainment didn’t start until long into dinner service and was very average. Meals were oily and salty, couldn’t finish it. Service was grudging and without even with a smile. When checking in for our return flight, we weren’t even told about the two-hour delay to our flight. We enjoyed our time in Mauritius and would have returned someday, but our Air Mauritius experience means we will avoid doing so now at all costs. Disgusted at how they treat their customers. We won’t be visiting your country again.

“you should be ashamed of yourselves”

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Checked in online 24 hours before flight. Well over 100 seats to choose from, but my wife and I had been allocated different seat rows. EVERY spare seat (even the ones on our individual rows) were marked as 'extra comfort' and incurred an additional charge, so I had to fork out about £40 to sit next to my wife. This is obviously a deliberate ploy, which you might expect from certain slimy budget airlines but when you're forking out the best part of £1k each for a return journey, in my opinion this is cheap, nasty, profiteering & sly business practice. Air Mauritius you should be ashamed of yourselves and despite other aspects of your service being adequate or good this has left a very nasty taste in my mouth. 1 out of 10 is what you deserve for your sharp business practice.

"I was pleasantly surprised"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified |   I was pleasantly surprised at the service aboard the plane. I have travelled economy class on a number of differing airlines. The last was by Malaysian Airlines, where the seats were too close for comfort and the food terrible. I found the Air Mauritius flight to be comfortable. The knee room was generous and comfortable with the seats broad, The food was more than acceptable and the onboard service was good. I will use Air Mauritius again.

"let down by the male flight attendants"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Both flights not too bad but let down by the male flight attendants who were the worst I have encountered in business class. Totally standoffish, lacking any type of airs or graces and even rude. Poor entertainment and food average at best. I never go to the same place twice so thankfully will not be in an AM flight again.

"a turbulence-free flight"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | The comments in the review of my outward journey about food and beverages (good), cabin crew (efficient but rather distant), and on-time performance also apply to this 12-hour overnight return flight from Mauritius. The biggest difference was a turbulence-free flight this time so that I was able to sleep soundly for 8 hours. The seats in the A330-900 are the same as used in the A350-900 so this confirmed that, for me, they do the job nicely! If I was being picky then I'd say that a more substantial pillow would have been welcome. I can't comment on the in-flight entertainment because I went sleep straight after dinner and just enjoyed the view out of the window from breakfast until landing, but my wife found some films to entertain her. It was interesting to compare Air Mauritius' A330neo with their A350 and, to be honest, I didn't notice a difference. They are both comfortable, quiet aircraft with 28 seats in 1-2-1 configuration in business class so for this punter they were interchangeable.
