bmi fare shake-up
Reflecting the fare system favoured by low-cost carriers, bmi british midland have introduced a simple one-way fare structure.
The move heralds the start of even lower fares for both domestic and European passengers travelling to and from the UK, particularly at London Heathrow – the airline’s main operating base.
Since June 2002 onwards, bmi has moved away from what travellers often perceive to be complicated return fare structures and is now offering all passengers, fares that can be booked on a one-way basis. This move enables passengers to choose from the lowest available fare on each leg of their journey without being inhibited by minimum stay requirements, such as the restrictive “Saturday night stopover”.
Further relaxation of existing booking terms and conditions by bmi means that passengers are able to change the original flight they are booked on subject to a small administration fee and any applicable difference in the available fare price.
This system, says bmi, combines simple, low fares with no minimum stay requirements direct to main city airports throughout the UK and Europe with all the benefits that a full service airline has to offer including dedicated lounges, business facilities and complimentary food and drink.
The new fare structure means that Belfast to London Heathrow fares are from as little as £33 one-way including tax and on-line discount.
