Fly BMI?
 

BMI is well cheap to Halifax from Heathrow........ Any one used em? :confused: Direct flights too :thumbsup:

Re: Fly BMI?
 

Not used them on that route, but have flown them extensively within Europe. Very good airline, good service, well trained crews :)

Re: Fly BMI?
 

thats good to know, Im always dubious about cheap flights :sneaky:

Re: Fly BMI?
 

With bmi the trans-Atlantic stuff is fairly new, so they are trying to get people to use the route, I honestly think thats the only reason its cheap :)
I agree, I'm very suspicious of cheap flights :sneaky: and fussy who I fly with, but I'd go with them with no doubts at all.

i generally fly from glasgow-heathrow-ottawa and use bmi on the gasgow-heathrow stage....always find them excellent,but then they are members of the star alliance,so a certain standard should be expected

Re: Fly BMI?
 

On a lot of their routes they Code share with Air Canada. It might be that its actually an Air Canada flight. Check out the air Canada site - if they have a flight at the same time then Chances are It is an air Canada one. I know that some people don't like them but I've always found AC to be excellent. I don't line flying and the Crew have always been fantastic.

I have just looked on the BMI website and have been quoted £1300 for 2 return flights on 31st Aug until 14th Sept. Only £600 more than flying with Canadian affair on exactly the same days although from Gatwick not heathrow. The BMI flight is actually an Air Canada flight. I have used Canadian affair twice in the last year and the service was top notch for a budget airline.

Re: Fly BMI?
 

All BMI flights to Canada are on Air Canada planes.

Re: Fly BMI?
 

Yeah I was looking at doing a recce end of Oct. time and BMI was peanuts, like £450, its direct into Halifax, Thanks guys(n gals) :zzz:

Re: Fly BMI?
 

Air Canada ('cos as Souv points out all BMI flights to Canada from UK are actually AC Codeshares) are pretty adept at changing prices in time with the market demand/season etc. So 'offseason' such as Oct their prices are usually pretty good.

Re: Fly BMI?
 

This may not be a viable option but flyzoom from Belfast direct to Halifax are usually very competitive - although you would have to look at a cheap connection from london to Belfast, which can be found on sale time with easyjet bmibaby flybe etc. Just a thought:D

Re: Fly BMI?
 

God you can fly to Boston on NWA for £260 return and then go jump on the cat ferry from Portland :ohmy: sounds silly but im scared of NWA, they use DC10's mainly out of Gatwick, I see them take off daily....... DC10 has bad rep, or maybe i just shouldnt watch discovery channel :unsure: Wow, Montreal £436 BA non stop.. sold :thumbup: well if i can talk my gf into breaking out her plastic friend, and no not the one in the sock draw :rofl: :p

Re: Fly BMI?
 

NWA stopped using DC10s in January.
