Standout Bargain: Business Class LHR-Nice £164 rtn
10/05/12 | Forum post in reply to VintageKrug

Hmmm, of course, all the bmi benefits assume these flights are not integrated into BA. Helpfully, BA is currently offering zero clarity on whether we will be receiving BA or bmi aircraft, terminals, lounges, inflight service, FFP recognition,...

Surely time for BA to bite the bullet and introduce paid-for food in short haul economy?
17/04/12 | Forum post in reply to Daytripper

I'm not suggesting a return to full catering on short haul, I'm suggesting one of two options: 1. Paid for catering - similar to a US model, that gives people a soft drink, and the option of buying up 2. Simplified catering INSTEAD of a...

UK immigration Chaos and Queues?
13/04/12 | Forum post in reply to Binman62

It's politics too. I arrived at an empty immigration hall at LGW S on Sunday. 5 people in front of me at non-EU. No IRIS. 1 officer. 20 minutes, and missed the train. The Australians on a working visa who popped to Copenhagen for the weekend...

bmi Diamond Club: 31 March Deadline for Star Redemptions?
11/04/12 | Forum post in reply to VintageKrug
