Frustratingly, received an email last night from BMI informing us that all Cardiff flights (end of Sept onwards) to Menorca have been cancelled, despite their website showing we had the last 2 seats on our flight when we booked on-line just 3 weeks ago :confused:. All this after the anouncement, at the end of June, of extra flights to Menorca until 29th October ref: http://pr-usa.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=230776&Itemid=33

Don't understand this, particularly if we had the last 2 seats .... oh well, that's the 'joy' of self booking/arranging holidays I suppose!! That's our accommodation deposit gone!!!:o
It has taken about 4,500,000,000 (4.5 billion) years for the Earth to form as it is now .........
and it'll only take about another 100 years for mankind to really **** it up!!!!

    Always possible, but with ThomsonFly also cancelling flights to Menorca, makes you wonder whether Menorca will be 'open' :D.

    Seems it has mainly summer only resorts, so would expect 'summer only' businesses to close towards the end of September.

    make sure you get a FULL refund.....including the extortionate credit card charges. Have a look at this MSE thread: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1637685&highlight=bmi+cardiff
