MSE News: BMI Baby closure Q&A: your rights

Louisdf

I'm booked to fly out of East Midlands to Alghero on 5th September, but doing a dummy booking only a 1/3 of the seats have been reserved which seems quite low. The flight is still £19.99 (far cheaper than any Ryanair flights from Luton/Stansted) which is also what I paid for 3 weeks ago. Should I be concerned?

Evening All. Just a note to tell you of my particular circumstances in case it helps anybody. I had flights booked from Manchester to New York this December. The flights were with BMI, and the holiday booked through Expedia. Since the takeover, BMI,which Expedia tell me has been taken over by BA for some sectors are obviously not providing direct flights between the two locations, and therefore I am eligible for a full refund. The way to apply for this is via a link on the BA website, although there is a warning that the refund could take up to 8 weeks, so be patient !

bmi never operated flights to New York, this would have been a codeshare with United which would still be operating and I would have throught your ticket would still be valid
