Not able to waitlist for J. Really?
I just tried to book a LHR-CAI return in business. Outbound was fine but business currently full for return. Asked if I could book premium economy for return and be waitlisted for business but call centre says Bmi doesn't do waitlisting.
Depending on when your flying, does BD *G not guarantee you a seat in business on bmi after 3 (i think) days? never heard of anyone trying to use this benefit...

Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom.
Is this for a mileage redemption or a published fare?
Guaranteed seat reservation**
With 48 hours notice, on selected fares
** bmi operating flights only, for Business fares on a two cabin route and Premium Economy fares on a single cabin route, excluding longhaul and Leeds Bradford to Glasgow and Edinburgh routes and bmibaby flights
Is CAI considered Long Haul, or mid-haul?
Also, for Premium Economy, read Flexible Economy.... another web pages that's a touch out of date.
Guaranteed seat doesn't necessarily mean guaranteed seating in Business Class, even if you're paying a Business Class fare. My guess is if you utilize the guarantee, there will be a disclaimer on where in the cabin you are seated. This happened to me with SK on a flight to CHI a few yrs back - they did provide me with the guaranteed seat (same rule in the SK program), but i actually flew in the Y cabin on a JOW type fare.
