Air Mauritius customer review

(Mauritius)

MRU-MXP return Business. Flight delayed by 6 hours then another 6 hours. Being local we went back home and returned. Skipped dinner and went to sleep as soon as we took off. Staff very helpful. Return leg was night flight good sleep crew was excellent. Only set back is the seat at an angle not the best. Milan lounge is not really a lounge.

Seats on the Heathrow to Mauritius flight were hard provided no lumbar support and very uncomfortable. Some members of staff somewhat patronising and not very helpful. Headphone did not work and the food was awful. They do not serve the small bottles of wine and we were served tiny amounts of wine in plastic glasses I felt we were treated like children. When asked for two small glasses we were very patronisingly told that we have to wait for the next trolley - which was going to be a long time after the meal. My partner and I ordered vegetarian food and were served very small portions of very unappetising food and a fruit salad with acidic and unripe fruits. The next morning we were offered two small cold soft and doughy buns with margarine and jam. Not a pleasant trip.

Heathrow to Mauritius seats are very tight spaced. Staff quite unhelpful. In such a long haul flight they did not distribute water or juice after meal times nor did they advise passengers to help themselves with drinks in the catering area. I travelled with 18 month old twins - staff unhelpful and gave our kids meals with adults meals whilst distributing other kids meals earlier. Mauritius to Heathrow staff rude and spoke over our heads literally bitching about kids playing on the floor between passenger seats. They lack manners and customer service. Staff have no compassion and empathy for parents who travel with kids - they behave as if they are doing us favours whilst we pay in full for adult and kid fares.

Frankfurt to Mauritius and back last week. First we booked a non-stop flight the ticket said that too but in fact the plane - after already delayed for over an hour - stopped in Geneva and we had to go out there and wait for another hour. The plane was old legroom in was poor due to the IFE Box mentioned in other reviews. The staff was friendly but never there. I've hardly seen them during the flight and helped myself for drinks (so far there were drinks). Only the food was ok and the entertainment program was nice.

DUR-MRU return Business class on A319. Things work so well from the Durban side but I have flown DUR-MRU-HKG return and JNB-MRU-LHR and by comparison the cabin crew this time barely managed a smile unless you grovelled. I don't expect to be glared at for asking for more bread. The return leg was pretty similar as far as staff went. Clearly nicer staff get to fly the longer routes. The most severe criticism I would make is the boarding leaving Mauritius. It is unjustifiable to leave long lines of passengers waiting for over an hour with no info nor telling us to all go sit down again. They knew perfectly well that they were running a full hour late as they later came up with the excuse that the plane was running late from Rodrigues! They pay lip service to priority boarding of business class passengers. Suddenly they announced a gate change so everyone had to scramble to change gates. Kept us waiting on the tarmac for the bus. What is the most appalling is that they kept 5 medical patients who were flying on the flight in wheelchairs waiting too in the line with no explanation to them.

LHR-MRU-LHR. LHR-MRU poor leg room most uncomfortable seats ever the entertainment system didn't work properly and staff were miserable. The MRU-LHR leg was a different story. We left MRU 3.5hours late due to the bad weather at LHR (snow). 3 hours from LHR captain announces the airport was shut so we were diverting to Milan-Malpensa. We landed and were shipped to a hotel. The following day our plane departed Milan for Paris without telling the passengers any information. Air Mauritius had one rep in Milan airport who ignored us another rep wouldn't speak with us. Very little information given to us we had to chase Air Mauritius at all times. They pretty much just abandoned us in Milan once we got off the plane. After 4 days of little information they left us to find our own way home. I certainly wouldn't recommend using Air Mauritius. The worst customer service I have ever experienced.

Mauritius-Singapore return Economy new A330 both legs. Seats quite hard but 7 hours flight is sustainable. I no longer rely on the IFE and always bring my IPAD. Flight was quite full but had no one seating to me on both legs and that is a major relief. Crew was performing basic service and not very friendly. The male staffs were more interested in female passengers. Come on MK you can do better!

LON-MRU-LON in Business Class travelling with our baby daughter. I have to say the experience was very good indeed particularly on LON-MRU. The cabin crew in biz cabin were excellent attentive and polite. The food was of a good standard the sleeper beds (although not fully flat recline to an angle of 170 degrees) were comfortable - I am 6'3" tall and could almost fully stretch out. Flights were on time outbound hours delay inbound. AVOD inflight entertainment system in biz class was good decent large screen in your armrest moderate selection of films to choose from. As a leisure airline Air Mauritius offered excellent value for money on this route compared to their only direct competitor (BA). Hold bags were priority tagged and did come off first at both ends. Our babies pushchair was also waiting at the aircraft door in both directions when we landed. Only slight let down is the Air Mauritius Lounge in MRU which is pretty poor and in need of a major makeover but a minor point in the overall travel experience.

LHR to MRU return in September 2010 (both night time flights). Found the seats cramped and uncomfortable not all of the headset jacks worked. The Flambouant aircraft appears to be less tired than The Chamarel one both Airbus 340's. Staff were helpful and polite we also appreciated the cabin lights being turned off after dinner however due to the severe lack of padding in the seats my legs and posterior spent more time asleep than I did. We do recommend flying with Air Mauritius but not for such a long journey.
