Thankfully managed to get Easyjet flights from BFS-STN and they actually came in more expensive than the Flybmi prices plus we have to add in parking for approx £50 and a stay in the Maldron as its an early morning departure. The whole shenanigans has added around £150 to the cost. I don't know how Ryanair are getting away with their BFS prices, bordering on extortion at the moment.
Overall Flybmi will be missed. I feel really bad for the staff. Can't recall his name but there was a fella from Strabane who was a steward on the little E-145 jet, he used to work for Ryanair and then moved to Flybmi when they started from Derry, he was a gentlemen and was a credit to the airline.
I know who you mean. Was fantastic, was on a day return flight I booked last year (£92) to sample BMI Regional.
