Hi

This may seem stupid but here goes.
We are flying BMI (Manchester) to Heathrow to connect to VS0-45 to JFK.
Should we check in on the BMI website or Virgin Atlantic.
Also could we check in through to JFK

We do not fly until next June so no hurry.

Thanks

Paul

You will need to check in for each flight.

with BMI for the BMI leg, and Virgin for the Virgin flight

you may be able to get your luggage checked all the way

This part depends on whether you've got a single ticket. If its all on one PNR then you'll 99% likely be able to check thru to JFK at MAN.

I have booked through e-bookers with a reference number which shows all my flights on the Virgin Atlantic website. Would i be best checking in at Manchester Airport rather then online.

I'd do OLCI using the booking refernce on VS Website (for the VS flight at least).
Then, if it doesn't check you all the way through for the BMI LHR Sector, you can get it sorted at MAN.

At least this way you will be as sure as you can of nabbing any pre-requested seats on the VS sector to JFK
Cheers

Thanks for that, sounds like the best option as you say to ensure we have our seats confirmed for LHR to JFK.
