thankyou muppet! have now worked out my route. sorry to have bored you all with this but I seriously have no sense of direction unless Margot (satnav) knows where we are going! bmi here I come! look forward to seeing you all. the flights seemed to have departed ok, today being the switch over date. onwards and upwards!

Hi. it depends on the time of day. Personally wouldn't use A312. I would head for the M4 spur which goes straight into LHR. Turn left just before the tunnel (stay in the left hand lane). The turning is just after the last bridge before the tunnel. Up to the roundabout and take the 3rd exit which aims for the airport, stay left and turn left. head straight down the perimeter road til you get to the end of the runway, round a right hand bend and turn left into the car park. Make sure your early the buses run every 10 minutes on the hr ten past, twenty past etc...... Then every 15 minutes after 1000 til 1800. Give yourself about 15 min at least to get through LHR from 0600 - 0800.

Hope that helps.

thanks 6chimes that does really help. thankyou for taking the time

Just to add......
When you drive down the M4 spur in the left hand lane, as it reaches traffic lights it splits into a further 2 lanes, keep right so you dont get pushed up onto the bath road. Its not a problem if you do just keep on til you see a big white round hotel and turn right there instead and that will take you back onto the perimeter road.
The bus can take 15 - 20 min from the car park at peak times so remember that! Most plan to be at the car park after taking into account all other obstacles that you will regularly encounter about 30 min prior to report. Except on earlies when your still cleaning your teeth as you walk in the crew room (sorry RUN!).
You need to log on one of the pc's before your report time or the cabin police will spring into action and you will find yourself in need of OJ simpsons lawyer.

once again thanks 6chimes, useful info! on standby tomorrow so fingers crossed

Is that your first day? If it is you will unlikely get called as you need to go as extra to crew on your first day so they won't call you off sby unless they need a crew member.

dont know how it works with us joining from bmed, we are just doing ex bmed routes at least for a few weeks until we start doing our sep conversion onto bmi aircraft. so who knows? having said that it would be lovely not to be called out, hate the mad dash especially from sussex!

Help please !!!
 

Hi there, I was cabin crew with British Midland from August 98 to Sep. 99, I would like to know if there is anyone currently working there that can help me out, at the moment I'm filling out www.flightmemory.com where I can write all my records of my flights, I only kept the flight numbers that I did for the year at BMI but I don't have the destinations, would any one please get or find out where can I get the time tables from Aug 98 to Sep 99?, so, it must be summer 98, winter 99 and an other summer 99.

I would really appreciate it as I now have incomplete that year on my flights records.

I miss the Queens Building and those briefings tables where we all knew each other at LHR.

Anyway, thank you very much in advance and once again, this would mean a lot to me, so please let me know where can I get the info.

PS: I left BD to go to EK and I'm in Dubai since Sep 99, good move but wrong people. :yuk:

Thanks guys, here are some of the missing destinations, if you happen to know the dep. / arr. time will be a bonus.

As you can see there are far too many flights and I don't expect you to write down each and every one, but if you happen to know where can I find a copy of the timetable from sep. '98 to sep. '99 it would be great.

Thank you so much guys !!! :}
