I originally joined DC because I moved from Brussels to London to get a BSc at Uni. In 2008, they still used to operate that route and the service was great!
I even got 1 complimentary meal (got BD Blue+) before the axed the route.
Now I just stay around BMI because of DC's ease of getting somewhat of a status, an amazing crew (did a few flights on BMI metal in April with the Promo), and yes ... the entertainment!
I think there's no other airline around that does this many crazy things as BMI. I guess being the underdog allows you to do the strangest things.
