BMI Fuel and Insurance Surcharge
Posted: 14 Jun 2011, 18:59
Hi all,
Just used a bunch of my BMI miles for an Upper Class reward flight returning out of MIA for the two of us. Having called the ICC with reluctance (my previous experiences have not been great) I was pleasantly surprised with the service I received.
However, it took me a few minutes to get off the floor when my credit card took a hammering for £825.86 (plus £9.00 credit card fee)!
APD was no real surprise at £120 each, but the Fuel and Insurance Surcharge was £250 each. I was wondering if anyone has a view on whether this is about right or not?
Also, as a follow up, I need to add my new born baby next month (due in three weeks) - the guy said that there would be no miles charged, only tax, but now I'm worried I'm gonna get hammered for another £413 for a baby to sit on my lap!
Any thoughts?
Thanks very much.
