Read an article head lining the NI travel news publication. Basically EI were teasing bmi about how successful they are going to be,etc. Well thats all very well, but when you go into the booking machine with EI and check the seat plan on their first ever flight out to LHR in January its the same ghosted (booked seats) that have been like that for months. ie only about 10% of the seats are booked (the same applies to their first AMS flight out 10 Dec). Either this pre-booking seat plan is not accurate or the bookings are poor.
