bmi baby 6th birthday - UK flights from £6 one way

cifpower

Just saw this on another forum.

For their 6th birthday they are offering flights from £6 one way including all taxes and charges.

You must book by Thursday 27 March and flights are for 1 June 08 to 31 July 08.

Great for students travelling back from uni or for a UK break I would have thought.

It seems to add tax to the fares. There are free (£0.00) flights but the taxes are added into it later!

Thanks for this, my moms always wanted to go to jersey and I've just booked my parents a 5 day stay in July for £40 for both return from Birmingham!

Infact this is their most expensive trip as they have been to Dussendolf, Rome, Paris, Barcelona and Berlin for the grand total of £2.00 all in!

A great offer but I wonder why they don't fly from London airports? Shame.

Beware of the extra fees - £14.98 to pay with a debit card!! How can they get away with this when the fee is usually £1.99??!

aha! there had to be a catch somewhere.

looks like ryanair isn't the only one pulling this stunt.

Ah.. It's all above board after all - just very misleading!

I selected a flight from Glasgow to East Midlands priced at £0.00. It automatically added on tax at £6 [much cheaper than the usual £18 tax] and then added baggage for £6.99.

When I went to pay, the debit card fee appeared to be £14.98 [as opposed to the usual £1.99 fee] but this amount was in fact the TOTAL amount for the flight. Deary me.. they really should make it a bit clearer! I only found out the truth when I decided to go ahead & book the flight anyway, and the full amount was on my confirmation.

Sorry for the drama everyone!
