The flight loads look incredibly empty; any views on the likelihood of this being cancelled? Thanks! 1K

now the fcdo block on all but essential travel to the Maldives has been lifted I would expect leisure loads to rise significantly as standard travel insurance will again be valid. October is a bit early for the Maldives although I'm sure this year there will be a half term rush nearer the end of the month.

Not sure where you are getting the information from that they are "incredibly empty", but they are not, at least outbound anyway. Will take a week or two before return loads start picking up with people coming home.

I’ve only got the inbound with BA (no outbound BA flights on the day I wanted to travel) and it’s in that 1-2 week window.

MLE to LHR on 11 Oct
Mmm, we are due to fly MLE/LHR on 11 Oct. Flight just zeroed out, but according to Expert Flyer the load was about total 10 pax. Is BA going to cancel? Thoughts/advice welcome!

Did we really need another new thread about this? As mentioned to you previously, you seem to assume a lot of very "definite" information from EF like it's gospel, whereas in reality it's much more like reading tea leaves.It is quite possible to have 9s across the board in WT classes on EF for a BA flight and actually have less than 10 seats available. Neither the outbound that forms your return, or your return itself are currently "zeroed out". Try and stop worrying about it and enjoy what I assume is a holiday there.
