Hi,

I have noticed the following issues, based on some reading of your "tiny" minds...

1. the baby website states that it is "THE" airline with tiny fares. This is not correct. baby and BMI are separate airlines with separate aircraft operating certificates, at least as far as I can tell. It is a contravention of advertising standards to sell yourself as one airline but actually be another. BMi hold the slots at LHR, not tiny. If you book tiny off LHR, you get BMi mainline and not baby. This does come up on the website eventually, but the opening page of baby is wrong.

As a pointer to show that BM are not the only ones to break this rule, BA out of LGW are just as bad as the flight are operated by BA, the express AOC holder and GB.

2. if you buy a tiny fare then the terms and conditions of use that apply at the time of sale apply to your travel. There is a thread comment on current ts and cs. If you are silver then you get access for anything that you buy before they change the Ts and Cs.

It is interesting that BM has decided to cross sell within BMi and baby. This imposes a lot of internal audit requirements on them that they might not have considered in order to meet their AOC requirements. You might regard it as petty, given that BMA own both airlines, but the paperwork still has to be done.

Would anybody like me to draft the letters to the CAA. Economic regulation for point 1 and safety regulation for point 3.

I was just about to rejoin the DC programme. I used to do 60 C class a year but then moved to LGW and just run a few other cards now. My spend a year can be over £100,000 on airfares. Will this help me spend on Star, no.
