Bmibaby summer schedule 2005
Don't know if I'm just unlucky but the WW booking engine seems to fall over mid-way through the process far too often. Thought it was my browser, but AB, EZY and BE work fine.
As a result BE gained a BHD booking at the expense of WW to BFS.
Anywone else uncountered similar problems?

I tried several times recently to change a booking, everytime I tried I got told the server was too busy and to try again later. When I eventually called the reservations centre as I was about to loose my flights altogether, they told me it was £5 more to change over the phone! The flaming cheek when the website is rubbish!!!
Someone needs to sort it out, its making them look like money grabbing scrooge's when changes are more to do over the phone. I can understand bookings being more, but not changes.
As for the website, its not very impressive is it. Looks cheaply made and hardly ever works...

I got exactly the same c**p from reservations a wee while ago when I couldn't make a reservation on the website because of WW's IT issues.
They tried to make me pay £ 5.00 for an off-web booking, and the rumpus I had to create over the principal of not paying £ 5.00 was unbelievable.
I'm afraid I'm not too pleasant when a service industry fails to provide "service" then has the audacity to charge me for their incompetence!
Tiny needs to sort this out as soon as he's had his nappy changed!

The transfer of the Paris and Nice flights is confirmed in a news article on flybmi.com...
"...
Flights will be an all-jet, full-service operation, offering both business and economy class seating. The new bmi regional schedule will replace the current Nottingham East Midlands to Paris CDG and Nice flights which are operated by bmi low-cost subsidiary bmibaby.

So now CDG & NCE have been confirmed that they are going to regional, who is going to do the ground handling? Is regional going to continue with the madness and attrociousness of servisair or are the "baby" ground staff (who many are ex-bmi) going to be given the contract??
As with only 4 baby a/c based there from March, you can't help thinking the management will sell them down the river again and get rid of them completely!

ticket desk staff at EMA for regional will be regional staff. Don't know about check in though.
Nah, they'll just serve the cous-cous and bagel and cream cheese they do on the TLS! Therefore having even more time to do not a lot!
At least the girls will have more time on a NCE to warm the hot dinner for the 1 business class pax they'll probably get...

How long was it before your back and buttocks were screaming for relief? 15 minutes, tops?
Easyjet, come and get it. Your 737's would wipe the floor with the Barbie!

They're actually very comfortable
Worth a try at the sales pitch, though 330-Purser. Experienced travellers know better.

Well good news for the "baby" ground staff at EMA as they have been given the contract to handle the bmi regional flights to BRU, CDG and NCE routes plus charters. Hopefully this will mean that their jobs are safe and they won't try to get rid of staff by "natural wastage"
