Now if their flights are empty in December, than you can say that things arent adding up
True, one family that I work with have been told their JED-LHR flights on 5th Dec have been changed to 8th Dec as BMI wants to use the flight for Hajj purposes. This having originally booked on 8th and changed it.
They are now trying to get back the SR2000 that BMI charged when they brought forward the flight from 8th to 5th.
Most people that I work with now recognize that with the extra ground time it's just as quick to go via Dubai and use EK who have a much better range of flights to UK.
