Just got back.
Good airline, good country and most importantly decent availability.
A few things of note.
Check in opens about 3.5 hours before departure. Both ways.
Business Class passengers get a code for 75mb of internet.
Lounge food in MRU is good.
Departing CDG, passengers use the AF lounge.
Flight times to/from Europe are +/- 11 hours.
There's dinner and breakfast. Nothing to eat in the middle. No snack basket. Nothing. Drinks of course are available.
Dinner service is finished within 90 minutes of lift off. Breakfast starts about 90 minutes before landing.
Shouldn't be a big deal as most of us can go 8-12 hours overnight without eating.
The 350 has wider seats than the 330.
Washrooms cleaned regularly throughout the flight.
LHR, MK uses T4. Took about 90 minutes to get to the MLL after the cabin door opened.
Thanks to AE for the opportunity!

Do you have any insight into the bulkhead footwell space on the A330? Planning to fly MRU - LHR and read reviews that the space was a bit tighter than the A350 so was hoping to snag a bulkhead if it meant the footwell was a little bit bigger at least. Haven't been able to find much online regarding this.

Found good availability for JNB<>MRU in J on a few dates in September. Cool to have been able to book this with Aeroplan. One minor drawback, when booking with Aeroplan, it doesn't seem to be possible to choose seats on the MK website. The PNR loads, seat selection isn't available. Interestingly, one PNR I booked as SA one direction and MK the other, and the SA website let me select seats for both legs just fine. So, just an annoying issue with the MK site.

Interestingly, I recently booked JNB-MRU on SA via UA, but I was not able to select seats via the SA website.
