And a recommendation: don't try bmi codeshare! Nor bmi at all. Terrible airline, now I'm with Middle East Airlines, sure you've seen their planes at BEY.
Flew with MEA on one roundtrip. Food was a bit Lebanese (unsurprisingly) but otherwise a thoroughly pleasant experience - especially their lounge in BEY - beat the BA shared lounge (called the LAT lounge from memory?) Would very happily use MEA again if the need arises in the future.
