Wow this really didnt last long. I travel to CMB a few times a year and looked at prices (Ex-GLA) and prices were always must more than my usual carrier, EK. (Business and Economy)

That surprises me. Just been to MLE this summer and flight full - maybe one seat free in CW. The crew say these flights always fill up from the front, so I had assumed they were profitable. CMB was always a dodgy add-on though.
The food was dire up front - and to be fair I wrote on my comment card that I'd use QR for that route in future, so it seems I will indeed be true to my word!

What are the odds KL won't last 18 months?

This is very disappointing. The alternatives don't look very good, or "comparable" to use the EU261 vernacular. They all involve taking extra days off work, or shortening the holiday, or having a night's sleep interrupted with a transfer in the middle of the night.

well that's going to be interesting. I now live in NY. Bought 6 non refundable (sales tickets) from NYC to London and then reward tickets (5 from a joker) LGW to MLE 2 days later. I also have bought a non refundable holidays (for 6 people and it aint cheap)..Really curious as to how BA will deal with this....
