I'd be delighted to fly to ORD non-stop from MAN once again. They also used to fly MAN-IAD as well.
As already pointed out
in the BD forum bmi ceased flying from MAN to the US (ORD, LAS) and BGI in early 2009. This same text also appears on the
M&M website.
Shame no one has told LH about these route closures.
