Just found this thread. I often use MME, not as much as when bmi had sensible times and business class though. Last time I tried to go to LHR the flight was cancelled and I ended up driving...
Our company does a lot of long distance and goes through AMS rather than LHR, prices are better and the Embraers are not pleasant to travel on.
I can't understand why NCL is doing so well when it is such a pain to get to - the Western bypass adds an hour to the journey at busy times, parking is even more expensive than MME and it's a long walk from the car park and the buses are useless.
Is there a chance of a link to Stansted? A link timed to feed the Business only flights to the States would be useful. Another link to Bristol or Cardiff area would be useful as well.
I don't want to lose bmi but can't see it surviving.
What happened to the bmi cabin crew based at MME, haven't seen any of them since the flight started originating at LHR.
