BMI at BHD
True Blue,
Don't know, but I for one (and the company I work for) can't justify the extra expense.
former gk,
Valid point. It used to be that to go anywhere, you first needed to fly to LHR, using either BA or BMI. Now of course, lots of cheap, direct flights and no longer any need to shuttle to LHR.
Interestingly enough, on a thread many moons ago, I managed to botttom out some info on the whole BA pull-out thing. Seems that for onward pax, BA only apportioned a percentage of the total fare (as a percentage of BFS-LHR miles versus total miles) to the BFS-LHR sectors. This ultimately reduced the "fee-earning" potential of the route. It is also fair to note however, that the mid-week flights could be quite empty (even the 19:00 from LHR) and I remeber being one of just a handful travelling some evenings - but BMI were packing them in..... (as the fares were cheaper then).
Even if BMI pull out of Belfast - LHR, I can't see BA coing back as they have lost a lot of face with the BA Connect fiasco..... maybe the future is bright.... but not to LHR.
