Free BMI Flight

BMI are offering a free flight to destinations such as UK,Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Republic of Ireland and Switzerland just for joining their frequent flyer program, diamond club.

Way I see it, is if I join, and so does the wife, then that's a free flight each.

Taxes do still need to be paid - but that's normally the case for most frequent flyer schemes, apart from the Airmiles/Lloyds Duo Mastercard offer that's currently on - it includes all taxes but you need to book a night in a hotel via airmiles, which isn't the cheapest.

    Seems to be working fine now - just did a quick check.

    I've managed to book a return flight for the wife and me to Heathrow from Glasgow in March. TBH, didn't have any problems with it at all - albeit we were flexible on dates.

    Paid just £60 in total for the two of us - which means it was cheaper than Easyjet equivalents on the same day, to a better airport, and with a non budget airline.

    Hoopylass - You don't have to pay anything to join. It's totally free.
  • I've just signed up, as they do a number of flights from Birmingham Airport and I flew with them to Prague recently.
