I booked flights through Aegean flights and thought it would be Onur we'd be flying with, however tickets have arrived and we are flying with British Midland from Glasgow (BD7469). When flying with Onur last year we didn't have inflight meals or entertainment, does anyone know if we would have this with British Midland flight? I'm just trying to find out if I need to take portable dvd player to entertain me on this night flight. Any other comments on how they are to fly with would be great too.

Thanks

Glasgow Andrea,

Refer to the bmi British Midland section on the What Aircaft? thread. You'll find my trip reports there. Although the aircraft are equiped with drop down LCD screens, they are only used for the safety video. They don't offer inflight entertainment on short haul flights. The last time I flew with them on a charter, all passengers received meals but this depends on the nature of the charter.

Just booked a BMI flight, and there is note at the bottom of the booking form advising that all flights from 1 April 2009 will be subject to a hold baggage allowance of 18kg (reduced from 20kg). The hand baggage allowance remains at 10kg.

Hi.

Flying on British Midland (Charter) from Glasgow to Dalaman 29/06/2009 and return 1 week later - BD8903 and BD8904.

What aircraft type will they use?

Thanks

Alloway,

Your flights are operated by an Airbus A320-200, possibly the slightly smaller Airbus A319-100. Refer to our What Aircraft? thread for more details.

Hi,
Been checking flight times on the Manchester airport site and seen to my horror that todays flight WW3545 Manchester to Palma was cancelled, we have booked the same flights in Aug 09 do they sort other flights out for you or are you left to do it yourself and what sort of notice do you get,do you get a refund, This is our summer holiday and donot want to be left at the airport on the day with two children.

Regards
Pete.

peye ren,

Flights Can Be Cancelled For Any Reason And At Any Time. It Could Be Well Before Your Departure Date, If So They Will E-Mail You Stating Your Options. Normally An Alternative Flight On The Same Day (If There Is One), A Flight On A Different Day Or A Refund.
Flights Can Also Be Cancelled On The Day Of Departure Due To Technical Difficulties In Operating The Flight. In This Case They Would Look To Transfer You Onto Another Flight Later That Day (If There Is One), Would Offer You A Flight On A Different Day. Or Will Normally Offer You A Refund So That You Can Book To Fly With Another Airline That Day.

Flight Cancellations With BMI Baby Are Very Few And Far Between. There Is No Point Worrying About It As Any Airline You Are Booked With May Cancell The Flight. Also Visit BMI Baby's FAQ's

Hi again, I'm flying from Manchester to Heathrow on BD591 on the 20th July. Would anybody happen to know whether the aircraft will be an EMB145 or an A319?

Thank you.

Sorry to be a pain, but i'm torn between the above flight and the BD589. Is this also an A319?

Thanks again.

bobeyman,

MAN-LHR are mainly A319's. BD589 can also be an A320/321 depending on day.
