I went to Palma on bmi last month and was surprised to discover that there was no IFE and the food was just a handed out roll. In the charters you would have had good entertainment and a proper meal. For the sake of a couple of hours with presumanly a couple of inches less leg room i’d rather have gone charter!
bmi cracked me up when they delayed our homeward bound flight last month because the aircraft had gone tech on the ground. When we eventually got going (some two and a half hours late), the only inflight entertainment we got was an advertisement for their new Mumbai route from London Heathrow.
I wouldn’t knock bmi though. You might get a basic snack, but its included in the cost of your ticket. With charters, you have to pay a huge supplement on top of an already very expensive flight/holiday. As well as that, the cost of drinks are ridiculous, whereas bmi will provide you with complimentary drinks all the way.
If you ever use bmi again to Palma, you’ll not be getting anything since they have stupidly decided to do away with it.
