And finally, just one more observation from checking in at MAN yesterday.

BMI has a new computer system and they are suffering the odd teething problem. Nothing serious (the agents can still get authority to use the old system in an emergency) but complicated bookings may be problematic.

In my case, I have a MAN-LHR-LAX-NAN-LAX-LHR-MAN itinerary with both BMI and NZ codes plus a night's stop over in LA (normally, it is all NZ codes but I suspect our TA gets to save a few pounds a bit this way) and this did confuse the poor computer.
