My daughter flew into Eastmidlands last Friday from Jersey. She said that the plane was not a BMIbaby one, but it was black!
Does anyone know which airline this could have been, please?

Qman,

BNI have been leasing a Titan Airways B737 for a while now, could it have been this one?

Thanks jetnoise, I think it must have been a Titan plane.
My daughter was cross because the plane did not have any cigarettes on board.They are quite cheap on Channel Island routes, because the lucky so and so's are not in the EUSSR.

Hi

I've received an email stating that next Summer's flights are due to be released within the next few weeks.

Does anyone have any inside info on this ie an idea of what date they will be released?

Many thanks

Elaine

Hi Elaine,
Is your e-mail from BMIBABY as I had one, went with them in Aug 08 Manchester-Palma and they were brill I am also looking at booking with then again in 09. When you go on their web site and read the reviews it puts you in dowt but we had a good allround flight with them, did you see the programe about the lowcost air lines saying a lot will not see next year.

Hi Peye

We also used them this year from EMA to Alicante. Got 2 adults and 2 children, in August, for £436.00. Getting impatient now!!!!! Just want to get them booked so I have something to look forward to whilst sitting indoors looking at the rain pour down.......!!!

Hi,
We paid £522 for 2 + 2 to Palma in Oct 07 and travelled in 08 when they came out last time they put them on the BMIBABY site at 10am on the day stated on a first come job, so keep an eye on the web site.
Regards
Pete.

Hi, I am flying on a BMI charter to fuertaventura BD7669. This is booked through freedom flights. Does this mean that it is still a BMI flight with BMI staff?
Also does anyone know what plane this will be. Thanks,

Yes it will be a BMI flight with BMI staff,. As a charter flight it will be cash for your drinks though.

I think it will be an Airbus A321 but Dazbo on here will know better, if you ask in the topic which aircraft am I flying on.

Kind Regards
Stewart

Flights for Summer 09 are out but are way more expensive than we paid this year, think I'll be giving them a miss.

Hi,
When you say stage two will be out soon can you tell me what routes, I have had a look at the Manchester to Palma for Aug 09 and they are well over last years price, can you tell me if this is the sale price.

Regards Pete.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if jet2 are ok as BMIBABY flights for Manchester to Palma Aug 09 are comming in at £1019. and jet2 are comming in at £630.00 we travelled with BMIBABY in Aug 08 and paid £522.00 so it looks like Bmi will not be taking us next year.

Regards,
Pete.

I can't believe the big jump with BMI the same flights for next year have jumped over £300.

Question for Darren,

If I go to FlightAware and check the bmi flight Anu - Man bd722 it says for type of plane A332/Q most of the time and on some days the type is A332/W is that the Star Alliance plane the white one? I only see it on the return flight from Anu

Pendragon

Last year I booked BMI within 2 hours of them being released and got a family of 4 to Murcia for £361 including checked in bags and reserved seats. This year to my horror, the same will cost me over £1000. Good bye BMI.

Yep, I did the same this year I went to book the same flight for 09 and it came back £1019.00 for the four of us Manchester to Palma In Aug 08 booked in Oct 07 £522,looked at jet2 for next year 09 comming in at £630 with seats booked.

Regards
Pete.

Have just booked my flights for August next year with Monarch for £777, more than I was hoping to pay but cheaper than going with BMI.
