Rubbish flight times (sometimes with a transit in MLE) hilarious fares, crappy cradle seats, no in seat power and planes full of leisure travellers getting pissed.

Going via the Gulf means a transit and some equally nasty flight timings, via India is just hassle and via SIN only works one way.

As I say. A crap place to get to on business from the UK. A direct option with a flat bed and in seat power would be very welcome.
