Right. On flybmi Tiny fares have the fare basis NBABY, TBABY etc. the equivalent on Expedia would be as you said above, as bmi only sell Tiny fares themselves.

I think bmi will still classify them as Tiny fares, and will not permit lounge access or the ability to accrue miles from 01 Nov. There's no need to book on Expedia until then. Who knows, I hope I'm wrong but I have a sneaky suspicion that this is what's going to happen.
