Agreed, but this makes it all the worse that Airline A is advertising seats on Airline B as its own. I agree the contract is done correctly but the way it is advertised is not.
BMIbaby do not operate from LHR and this needs to be made an awful lot clearer in the marketing materials. They are confusing the hell out of a key group of customers and will lose business as a result. They may also pick up lower fare business with this strategy, but if you ask me it makes no sense to alienate higher fare paying passengers in the battle to attract low spending passengers.
