This bit made my smile, typical BMI forward planning:
Bmi will not be offering first class and nor will it have fully lie-flat seating in business class, both of which are popular with wealthy Saudis who continue to miss what British Airways used to provide


How long do you give it?

Whatever we may think of BA. Given their penchant for profit,if they couldn't make the route pay, I don't give BMI much chance.

I'm sure BMI will bring its erm... qualities to the route - even if even they haven't figured out what they are yet;)

imagine the reaction when a wealthy saudi family paying top dollar for 'the business' then find that they can not 'through-check' their luggage... [:w]

Lets face facts,this was once a great airline,but they have managed over the last 3-5 years to destroy it.
