Anyone flown with British Midland??

[Anne]

To cut a long story short- we are having problems getting the return dates we want with AA, but can get them with British Midlands. Slightly higher cost.

What are they like to fly with??

Fisrt leg to Chicago, then onto Orlando with UA.

Cheers

Never flown them transatlantic, but did fly them over in Europe. Had a good flight and no problems with the ressies or anything. I wouldn't hesitate to fly them again.

If they get you to WDW on the dates you want, then fly with them

Booked the BM flights this morning - so we're off to WDW from 12/12 to 2/1/04

I'm a bit excited-lol

YEY, your going to WDW Congratulations, fancy packing me? BMI as they are now known utilise the A330 aircraft on long haul, which are lovely planes and quite new. Each seat has a seat back TV, 32" legroom which is better than charter. I'm sure the flight will be great.

 

[Anne]

Wooooo - great news about the seat back tv's

Don't think we'll have any spare room in the cases for extra passengers though.

 

[djmatthews]

Nice try on my part though wouldn't you agree :lol:

 

[Anne]

Excellent - theres a long queue of people wanting to get in the cases-LOL

Just found out as well, that they do a premium economy for £120 extra - like the sound of that

These photos of British Midland food aren't from trans Atlantic flights, but forewarned is forearmed.


(pssssst--you might want to bring your own food)



I just double-checked that link. When you get to the page, click on the red MORE button, then scroll down to BMI.

Hope its better on transatlantic flights:veryconfu

Will definately be packing snacks just in case.
