So far as Bristol is concerned the routes to Frankfurt, Munich and Paris Cdg are bookable into next summer but not so those to Aberdeen, Dusseldorf, Hamburg or Milan Malpensa.
Booking availability for the the last four destinations ceases towards the end of March. If these routes do stop and bmir has lost the Airbus corporate contract as is suggested elsewhere in this thread then they appear to have a major headache at BRS one of their largest bases, or is BRS the largest?
The longer these routes remain unbookable the more people will look elsewhere - bmir management isn't daft and will know this. The fares on the bmir BRS routes have often been quite high, extremely high on occasions (as you will know), which I'm sure has put off a lot of punters.
Mrs MV and I were looking at Hamburg from BRS a few months ago and the return fare for the fairly flexible period we were considering came out at between £400 and £500 each. We decided to go by train instead which Mrs MV prefers anyway.
