Do you happen to know if Emirates also do reasonably priced F or J ONE-WAY from BAH or DOH to MRU? I thought of using a UA award on Emirates, but UA don't appear to allow one-way use in the same manner as BA. It would mean throwing away the return leg of the UA award.
If you don't mind me asking, how much was the F/J fare from CAI to MRU? And what is the best time of year to go to MRU, avoiding extreme heat and rain/storms?
EK J fares one-way to MRU tend to be around USD750 from the less prosperous Middle-East countries. Their web site is pretty good for pricing and booking. The biggest problem imo is the little island of Mauritius isn't an economic or tourist powerhouse and thus has quite poor air service, making connections through there somewhat boorish. Iirc connections through DXB were painfully inconvenient, the flight left at around 3 AM, and arrived an hour after the BA departure.
