Bmibaby flights !

[brontesorearse]

Hi All,

Was wondering if anybody knows what i can do,( if anything) cause bmi have changed my inbound flight from alicante to cardiff , we all booked this last year,and now we lose a day of our holiday because of this.We are gutted, the break was for myself and sister-in-laws 40th birthdays .They want £90 per person to change flights to the following day! An extra £360 !

Bit pissed off ,i dont suppose a letter of complaint would do anything ?

Thanks,H.

Not good....not sure really, but to drop a day...I suppose it's not a drop of a night though.... that's what they work off..........

I know what you mean ,its just that we dont go on holiday together that much and it means we've all lost a days leave cos we get back at 1 30pm, a wasted day really!

Hmmmm...we had this a coupe of years ago, flights changed 1 month before departure, even tho we booked specific flights 6 months before.
I never found a way round it.
It p1ssed me off, because if you book flights at reasonable times...you pay. So you do...then they change your times to crappy ones....then expect you to pay again to get back to reasonable flying times. Its a lose lose situation

I can only guess they streamline flights according to bookings. Better (for them) to have one full flight, than two half empty ones.

i wonder how they make money when you can get a flight for £0, paying only the tax. with a coffee and a bun (and free paper) thrown in, i have to say that £28 for a 1-way flight manchester-edinburgh was a bargain.

cheers everyone ,i'll probably give the polite letter route a go !

Aren't they effectively in breach of contract????
