bmibaby baggage charges

Talk about 1 step forward, 2 steps back! Thought bmibaby were finally getting somewhere with their focus on BHX expansion and now they do this. I really think they will live to rue this decision. I for one wont be travelling with them again because of this. Ok, so they've followed the lead of others. But let's get one thing straight, the likes of FR and BE can get away with it more because a good deal of their pax are business people who will only be travelling with hand luggage. Bmibaby however has a significant number of flights to AGP, ALC, PMI, FAO, MJV and the like and a lot of people will use them for their summer holidays. I don't see families going away for two weeks taking hand luggage only. These are the people that are going to get stung when checking in 4 or 5 bags each time they travel. I can't see them wanting to fly baby if they have to pay upwards of 20 quid just to checkin their suitcases. I use WW a fair bit on the MAN - AGP route but i'll be looking to ZB and LS as alternatives from now on. I can see others doing the same.
