Interesting to see how they do this with regards to miles earning and lounge access etc. but overall goods news.
This also strengthens the case for the rebranding mentioned in other threads with baby being brought into mainline ops perhaps.

I get the feeling that something kinda big is brewing at Donington Hall ...
Anyhow this another good move from bmi, its getting to be quite a habbit.
Miles will probably be earned at the x0.25 level i.e. 150 miles per sector domestic and 200 for European flights.

I rather like bmibaby, a few miles added is more than welcome. It would be nice if the MBNA bonus miles were extended to include purchases made on the baby site.

No mention of lounge access either...
Talking about big brews, there is a PpRumour about that bmi is bringing back short haul biz class? If so, then happy days

Yup, but of course this was limited to locations with BD-owned lounges. So, not much good on the likes of PIK-CWL...
Dare one hope this is the first step towards reintegration into mainline?

One enhancement I would like to see in mainline is for BD Gold members to be given complimentary alcoholic beverages when flying in Y longhaul on production of their gold card!
I HATE paying for drinks on board, certainly on long haul as I had to when I was chaving it on a MAN-LAS trip last July. I used Upgrade voucher on the way back.
