I want to miss my connection
I'm flying through LHR, with a connection time of 1:25, I'm now looking at the possibility of staying longer at Heathrow to meet somebody, I assume if I miss such a long connection, I'll have to pay for my new connecting flight, although if my inbound flight is slightly delayed it might be tight enough for me to supposly miss it.
What is the maximum time, for BMI to except that the connection was too short to make it (as there was a long wait at security Etc.)? |

Here's a suggestion - ask them at the airport if they will let you catch the later flight. If they say no, then offer to pay the change fee if it matters that much. |

And on a public forum read by bmi employees to boot.

When they scan your boarding pass at security does the airline know that that person has cleared security and is in departures?

Still, no show is no show. If your first flight arrives on time and you miss your connection I doubt you will get reimbursed. Would hate to be on the flight waiting for you too. Think of a hundred of people who will get deayed first wating for you, then waiting for your checked-in baggage being offloaded, and then for the next available slot. Have a mercy on this lot. Few of them will have a tight connection which they will miss because of you. |

You want to do this on purpose and you expect advice on how to do it ?? |
I can't believe no one is offering advice! You should A) find the pilots of your first flight and devise a way in making them late. B) Create a hazard on your first flight (e.g. flat tire) to make repairs necessary. C) Arrange for a large storm to arrive prior to take off and last exactly 1.5 hours so you are late, but not TOO late.
You just have to be creative! (I hope the sarcasm is obvious...) |
You lot are all right I'll just try and call bmi and pay for it to be changed

I think I'll just keep on blowing as hard as I can towards the back of the plane, and hopefully that way slow it down
