They claim that my 3/18 flight is fine and that it is just full. I am not 100% convinced and may well make a safety booking on Air Mauritius just to be safe (it's refundable, after all).
You're right to suspect something's up. I checked on the Galileo GDS, which unlike Expert Flyer differentiates between J0 D0 etc (no availability but wailisting possible) and JC DC etc (flight closed, no avail, no waitlisting). The flights to/from MRU show as closed both on March 18 and March 25. Weird that they closed the flights in both directions without even allowing waitlisting in J. The March 4 flights on the other hand show wide availability in all classes in both directions. So either they cancelled the March 18/25 flights for some reason or all remaining available seats have been chartered in bulk by someone (how likely is that?)
