bmi diamond club - Nice and Vienna
Nice and Vienna were not mentioned in today's flight reshuffle - but surely they will not continue to operate from 2 terminals (nor Mosco and Cairo though these remain bmi flights for now) - any idea when these other duplicate routes will be merged into BA and operate from one terminal (three terminal or five terminal) ?

Perhaps, with the end of the summer timetable, the Nice and Vienna "bmi" flights are being dropped, with just the existing BA flights being maintained?

Perhaps, but that's not what the timetable shows......

Well, if they're timetabled to remain as they currently are on the winter timetable, then they'll remain as they currently are!

Are they, or have they just not been updated yet?

Who knows?
But as they've gone to the bother of compiling lists of routes that have changed, then there's a greater chance that all routes not mentioned will remain as they currently are.

From the BA press release (http://press.ba.com/?p=2343#more-2343):
... further route announcements will be made next month.
Perhaps NCE and VIE will be dropped once a couple more new destinations have been finalised. Who knows - but the quote suggests this is still very much work in progress.

Not everything is updated yet. MRS is still showing on ba.com as being from LGW next winter even though I have already received an email from BA rebooking one of my flights on an ex-LHR service which is not yet visible on ba.com

hmmm, as this is Marseilles, perhaps re-allocating a former BMI LHR-NCE slot to LHR-MRS ?No, it is not that simple. LHR-MRS will be x3 daily (whereas BD's LHR-NCE was twice daily) and the timings do not correspond (there is a morning departure from LHR to MRS at 7h35 and a late afternoon/early evening return from MRS to LHR at 17.15, for instance).
