These past few months, I have been flying BMED quite a bit to FRU (Bishkek) and TAS (Tashkent), which stops in EVN (Yerevan) on the way in and BAK (Baku) on the way out in J.

It is the Airbus 320 with the old cradle seats, which I find it hard to sleep in, with EVN to FRU being an overnight flight. The TV screens are SMALL with only 8 channels. The service seems to be pretty good and the food is okay. The biggest issue I had was on a return flight a few months ago they would only let me take one carry-on onboard (I had a backpack and a duffel) even though I was in J, and ended up losing the duffel I had checked for a week. Since then, I just "hide" the duffel on the side when checking in.

I really do not care for the seats on this flight (Club World sleeper seats spoiled me), so much so that I have a return flight from here in a few weeks and will be flying into DEL and taking a BA flight with sleeper seats. The 10.5 hour flight on BMED seems SO much longer than a BA J sleeper seat.
