From what I gather bmi's application was turned down due to objections made to the British government from BA.
When will this unfair protection stop?
What are BA so scared of, surely one LH route from an airline in decline is no threat to them!!!
Onto the new model topic, I don't understand the issues mentioned with not knowing whats included in a fare type, when booking a flight tonight I notice that you can click on the fare type link before you purchase the ticket and a new page opens telling you exactly what you get for that ticket compared to the 3 other fare types e.g. lounge access, FF points and name changes etc.
It isn't even pages and pages of text, it's a nice and easy to understand table.
Doesn't seem that confusing to me, perhaps it's a sign of the times that we are all becoming lazy and expect things to be there for us without having to look or make any effort.
What did we all do before computers and mobiles!!!
