I suppose that since Réunion is a French Department ( ie CDG-RUN is a true domestic flight , the currency in Réunion is the € , the cars all have standard French number plates etc unlike places such as New Caledonia or French Polynesia which are merely French Overseas Territories ) and therefore French soil that these flights are technically the first regularly scheduled Australia-Europe non-stops ! given the tendency of airline marketing departments for hyperbole I am surprised that UU has not trumpeted this loudly

since RUN is only approx 30 min from MRU and MK have already cut back their Australian flights it will be interesting to see what effect these flights have on MK ( although I believe the Mauritian community in Australia is more MEL based than SYD based ) . Certainly another alternative for me to look at for next years trip back to AKL .
