BMI Business Class fare and TP's

Hi -

is it possible to book a business class fare online at the the BMI site - (can't seem to find that option?) - specifically a LHR - ABE fare that would generate 1 x VA Tier Point.

many thanks

Andrew

Not all domestic BMI routes have a business class cabin any more. LHR>ABE is one of these routes I'm afraid.

Domestic routes that have a business class cabin are (taken from the BMI web site):

business class is available on our regional flights and Heathrow Ð Belfast, Dublin, Edinburgh and Glasgow

If you book a full Y fare, it's considered business class so will earn your 1 TP.

Thanks,

Thanks for that Richard, I didn't know that. I take it that's on any BMI route then?

For domestics you would need to select 'Premium Economy' which gives you a full Y fare.

Hi James,

Applies for UK and European routes:

For Transatlantic, Y fare basis is treated as a Premium Economy booking when it comes to mileage and TP.

Thanks,
Richard

thanks guys - that is great news to find that any domestic full fare Y gets me x 1 tp (quest towards FC Gold!)
