Is there any reason why someone thought it would be a good idea to put Manchester on the drop down menu in it's own little world and sort the rest of the world by the IATA code that you can't see.

So Canada is right at the end and Durham Tees Valley is next to Miami. ( MIA then MME ). Better not drop it as I am flying it in April.

Mental !!!
Terminal thickness at play.

Fedex (or UPS) sorted countries by their ISO abbreviations.

So you had to know that Germany is DE, Croatia, HR and South Africa ZA....

Morons at work

Mind you, bmi's the airline that
1. introduced elegantly translucent Diamond Club cards (that couldn't be read by the check-in kiosks - card has to interrupt a light barrier to activate the screen)
2. placed decorative dark blue background graphics on their boarding passes (which reduced the area for printed information by 30%) which were 3. high-gloss, meaning that whatever print was legible to start with smudged within seconds (because the ink couldn't be absorbed.)

Good thing they only ordered 5 million of them....
