DAr19,
What I was trying to highlight was the difference in fares,by what is to all intentions the same airline, all be it in a different guise, and the fact that the full fare division of the same group appears to offer better value.
Also booking flights to Barbados in March from Manchester in business, Ba shuttle to LGW, BA on to BGI £1455.60.
BA shuttle to LHR,Virgin on to BGI £2234
BMI direct from Manchester £3264.
As an aside I believe that one of the routes the A330 is to be put upon is Cairo, Business fare £946.
The BGI fares are from Expedia. Cairo from BMI site.
This also hi-lights the supplements we have to pay to fly direct from Manchester,and also with regards to the Cairo flight,the aircraft will have to be utilised more, if possible, to gain revenue,even allowing for extra fuel and crew costs, when deployed from Manchester.
