BMI 757 saga continues….

Even though this was posted weeks ago, I just noticed it, YAAAARR!!! :mad:. Good lookin’ out though, Bhoy :). Is Celtic going to surpass Rangers and pull off the double?

P.S. I actually have already flown on 757 with a UA flight number (US flight from PHL-LAX) with those ‘other’ engines you guys love. 😮

I too have flown on a US 757, only I was put on it by BA as my original flight with them was cancelled (this was back in the days of USAir being BA’s North American partner [’97])

As for the double… ask me in three weeks when I emerge from the Loo. 🙁

I’ve just noticed the aircraft that is to be used (TF-FII) is only on lease for the summer, also it has had a stint with Avianca Columbia – The livery used then was full Iclandic colours with the Avianca title behind the cockpit. – Seen here Link

So it looks like it’s gonna be a bit of an odity for a while.

Interesting to see Jethro’s site is quoting another A330 due from Emirates in time for May. Also the route is still showing as an A330 in GDS so maybe its not all signed and sealed yet.

Wishful thinking I’m afraid. The talk of A6-EAS/G-WWBC coming back from EK this spring have been widespread but are not correct – current expectation is that it will come back to BD in the fall.

Just a question on the origonal quote:

Will this affect tickets already booked through United. I am due to fly on the 29th May from MAN-IAD booked via United – If the FAA havn’t completed their paperwork by then will there be any changes enforced to my travel plans? 🙁

btw as of today (18th April) the BMI customer service departments are unawair (or so they say) of any change to the aircraft used – “But we wouldn’t fly a smaller Aircraft on an Atlantic Route” was the response I received in a phone call today.

Funny how the rest of the world with an internet connection knows differently (And correctly, according to an insider I spoke to within BMI)

If your booking is with UA, then there is no reason why you shouldn’t still be travelling, whatever aircraft it may be.

If there is any problem which means you can’t travel, it is UA’s responsibility to reaccomodate you, most likely via LHR.

bmi’s reservation centre would probably have no idea about what aircraft is being used because they aren’t bmi staff anymore, its an indian call centre now. I doubt any of them have ever seen the inside of a bmi aircraft (until the Mumbai starts maybe). They doing the best they can, but they really don’t have the knowledge or experience to comment.

I’m sure they would honor your seat, regardless of whether it’s a UA code or a BD code. You should be able to get your mileage either way, as I get my mileage on LH flights that don’t have a UA code as well as the ones that do.

They said it “might” be in a full livery, but more chance of just bmi titles applied to the front and tait probs, to save money
