When almost other major airline offers online check in, it is a serious negative for bmi regional not ot be able to offer it currently.
I know personally of 3 people who have flown bmi regional previously, but not being able to check in online, get seats online and save that 5 minutes has meant they have moved to other airlines.
Considering the main customer base is business traffic bmi regional should be focusing more on providing the services business customers want, including online check in.
Alot of business traffic go hand luggage only, I know i do. Therefore walking straight to the gate and wasting no time is an important benefit. It used to be a key selling point for bmi regional.

Does it really matter that much for the bmi regional-style operation? There are only very few routes on which they have direct competition (not surprising as this is their business model), so the choice usually is to book a one-stop connecting flight with online check-in on the competition or a nonstop flight with airport check-in on bmi regional. Which should always play out in favour of BD.

I can't comment on how they have developed their site in the last six months but when I went LBA to BRU I remember thinking--this is like the old days. Things like 'Manage Your Booking' have a comfort element, you look, it's there, when you turn up at 6am there won't be a problem. I think it's just something punters have learned to expect these days.

Right I was looking at booking flight from Norwich - Aberdeen with bmi regional, went on the lowest fare part on the website, all flights showing around 60 pound scroll down and the Norwich - Aberdeen is 146 pounds, double than nearly all other routes, are the loads that good on the route they can charge that much, because considering eastern are on there as well, I was shocked

But seriously, is it a shockingly large amount to get from Norwich to Aberdeen? Try doing it by car, bus or train.

Looking at Eastern Airways prices they want £147.10 EACH WAY so looks like the BMI Regional option is still the cheapest. If you was to drive it would take over 9 hours and cost nearly £100 in fuel. Not sure the cost of buses or trains.

20 years ago I regularly flew LON-EDI/GLA. Fares were always at least £200 rtn (BA, BMA, Air UK), so £146 seems a reasonable figure for a thinner route in a smaller aircraft.
