bmi Routes / Class of Service available / Diamond Club Earning Rates

(Last Update: 18 July 2012)


Only current bmi operated routes (i.e BD code/bmi metal/bmi crew/bmi onboard service) are listed below. For wetleases to Lufthansa or Brussels Airlines see post #2. This is bmi ONLY.. Routes that have moved to BA coding are listed at the bottom.

Class of Service available on each route is also listed (C = Business / Flex Y = Flexible Economy / Y = Economy / CE = BA Club Europe)

The bmi 'How to Earn Miles' table is familiar to all and while 'UK Domestic and Western Europe' routes are obvious, what about other Z2 routes like Moscow for example? In short, if you are travelling there or to any of the midhaul destinations, it's the 'Rest of the World' rates that apply. Routes that have moved to British Airways coding are no longer eligible to earn Status Miles but are for Destinations Miles. Refer to the British Airways earning table at flybmi.com; or post them to Executive Club for TP's and Avios.

(Last Update: 21 June 2012)​

bmi also operate routes on a wetlease basis for Lufthansa and Brussels Airlines. While the aircraft livery, flight crew and cabin staff are bmi, and in some cases the onboard service provided and the seat are bmi, check-in is with Lufthansa or Brussels Airlines. These are NOT bmi flights.

NB: You can no longer earn bmi miles, status or destinations, on any of these flights.

I think there is an BMI's A330 used by TK : sometimes on IST-TUN and IST-DXB

 

The 330 leased to TK will return to bmi in a few months, and will take over from the other 330 which is off for a C check (big overhaul) and then will itself have a C-check. It will then go on mid-haul. I reckon that BEY will get a look in.

Then we'll have to listen to you know who bang on endlessly about it.

 

I've kept and will continue to keep this list updated. It'll help those unsure keep track of which carrier is operating routes as the move to BA continues....

If you spot any glaring errors, drop me a PM.
