BMI - VS TRANSFER

I've just booked bmi flights GLA - MAN for July next year, departing GLA @ 8PM. The following morning @10.25 AM we fly MAN - MCO with VS.

With the second flight being within 24 hours of the first does anyone know if bmi at GLA will be able to check us straight through to MCO (i.e. issue BPs....I will reserve seats on the VS flight)? If not might it be possible to check our luggage right through, so we don't have to collect it and re-check it at MAN?

I can ask DC, no doubt, but would prefer advice from my FT friends who may already have some similar experience.

TIA

as long as you have paper tickets should be no problem to check through your bags

Thanks jongar.....the GLA - MAN (bmi) sector is e-ticket, but the MAN - MCO (VS) sector is paper ticket. Hopefully the holding of a paper ticket for the second sector should allow bmi to through check the luggage.

As I'll be in the GLA and LHR DC Lounges tomorrow, I'll double check with the girls I know there.

Thanks again.

VS in NYC can issue BPs for BD connections at LHR, so, hopefully, the reverse should be true. Not sure of the impact of the overnight, though.
