The full text (see below) appears on both revenue and redemption travel confirmation emails but does not apply to redemption bookings. It is £4.50 regardless of flight origin. Diamond Club bookings can only be charged in £ (GBP). Foreign taxes, fees and surcharges are converted into GBP and no other currency.
PAYMENT USING THE FOLLOWING DEBIT CARDS DO NOT INCUR A BOOKING FEE: SWITCH/MAESTRO, VISA DELTA, SOLO, VISA ELECTRON.
ALL BMI BOOKINGS MADE BY THE FOLLOWING CREDIT CARDS: VISA, MASTERCARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS, DINERS CLUB, EUROCARD, UATP/AIRPLUS WILL BE SUBJECT TO AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE OF 4.50 GBP PER PERSON FOR EX UK BOOKINGS, 6 EUR FOR EX EUROPEAN BOOKINGS AND 60DKK FOR EX DENMARK BOOKINGS, 60SEK FOR EX SWEDEN BOOKINGS AND 60NOK FOR EX NORWAY BOOKINGS.
