That's what I would like to know.
I'm really confused by all this, if I got it right the fare codes for tiny tickets end with either TINY or BABY, and this one ends with OWBMI.
On the other hand it is a V-class ticket, and a V-class ticket booked through BMI would be a tiny ticket as everything below M is regarded as tiny (god knows how they made that calculation).
Why make it easy when you can make it difficult...

Another option would make it as a mileage run and fly LHR-CPH-CDG on SAS which would mean loads of points, 5000 with the tier bonus if I got it right.
I wonder what they would say at the check-in desk at LHR seeing that itinerary...

The excess charge for 20 kg would be £5*20 kg=£100.
For 100 quid it would be cheaper to fly back and forth twice, and for some reason it wouldn't surprise me at all if BMI really charges you for every single kilo of excess luggage.
