Now that I've grabbed your attention, they are to increase frequency on their MAN-Barbados services to 3 weekly from 24th October with a new Monday service, despite Virgin introducing their own Barbados service from mid-November.

Makes a change from them dropping a route, cutting back another and reneging on launching two others.

They seem to be very randomly acting all over their route network. A rather big loss of direction for them?

Sorry to go slightly off topic, but what are Virgin due to use on the route? A340 I hope!

Can anyone predict bmi's next move? They seem to be one of the most irratic airlines in everything they do at the moment and im sure this is not reassuring their customer base who now dont get fed for free on their flights anymore!

I'm sure it'll be a LGW Based 744 like we saw last year

Daily until around the end of October and then to 6 weekly. Their BGI starts 12th November - it does'nt appear to be on sale for next summer, but then there's still plenty of time for some extra MCO services, some LAS services as well as a summer BGI service to be added should a 2nd 747 become based next year.
