BMI - it's over. Thanks for the memories Pune/Donington/Keeley/Joanna!

I have just a touch over 12k miles left and am toying with the idea of booking LHR-DME for 2 pax using Cash + Miles in Y later in the year (October maybe?) As this route is operated by BMI themselves, does anyone have an idea if this is now either possible or too risky?

I would not have thought that this is too risky as it is a route that BA fy as well. Even if BA have stopped the BMI flights by then I think they would still honour any booking even if they on miles (the bad publicity of outraged middle England writing in to the Daily Mail about ruined holidays would cost more)

They are doing a pretty generous conversion from the email I just received.

DC gold to BA gold.
DC silver to BA silver.

Expiry dates of the tier are unknown currently.

Sale of BMI to IAG has gone through today.

DC members will be compt BAEC membership gold to gold, silver to silver and miles transferred 1:1 basis.

I find BA Gold particularly pointless for my wanderings in SE Asia

My BA gold got me upgraded once on a SIN-BKK CX flt, and another time HKG-SIN

Yo, we've still got until May 31st... And (not that it holds any value to me) we may see some really good redemptions on BA via Diamond Club.

Most of us have around 43 miles left to convert into Avios...

The purchase of bmi is great news for Executive*Club Members as there are now additional mainline bmi operated routes* that you can earn Avios and Tier*Points on. All these new routes are now available to book at ba.com. To earn Avios and Tier*Points, please remember to add your Executive*Club membership number to your booking.

Wearing my existing BA Gold hat: whoopee-doo!
