Really ??
Bookings for May - Sept are already over 60%, in all classes, which isn't bad for a service which hasn't even started yet.
It's also encouraging that a high proportion of bookings are continuing on beyond IAD on United.
Perhaps this could be the beginning of a greater presence of Star Alliance at MAN..?
I also think a smattering of freebie tickets is a damn good advertising ploy, personally.
Well done to BMI for showing BA that life doesn't necessarily end north of the M25.
