Be warned, Air Mauritius is in a serous financial mess, a number of UK agents have stopped selling them for fear they will cease to trade. They have a new CEO who has promised to put things right, but they are clearly not going to pay a penny unless forced to do so. I am certain all the staff have been told not to spend money for any reason hence their current attitude. If you rebook with BA you might have to sue to get redress and I doubt they have any assets in the UK, so having rights and enforcing them are two different things!

Great post. It's looking like my best option will be to take the flights a day later and if there are any additional hotel costs or they default on the flight home my travel insurance will kick in. Thanks.

Do also check that your insurance covers scheduled airline failure, just in case they fold.
