On another point, I hope LH will not shift BHX-FRA and MAN-FRA to BMI unless they work on their flight experience. Have heard in various media that BMI's interior is a bit poor, as well as non-perfect in-flight service - LH customers are pretty demanding.
bmi services out of LHR operated for Swiss / Lufthansa / Lufthansa Italia feature the customer airline's inflight service. bmi flights to MXP / DRS / HAM operate on dedicated aircraft with LH interiors. LH style interiors are planned to be fitted to all bmi's shorthaul main line aircraft this year.
