Oh Noooooooooo!! Lufthansa confirms takeover of BMI

[9V-JKL]

Would LHBD be a jointly owned company set-up by LH and BD thus the name?

Looks like just a legal structure for LH to take 100% control of BD.

Unless I am going mad (highly likely) or paranoid (still playing at that compared to some...) I noticed today that when calling DC that they now answer 'Welcome to Diamond Club..', whereas last week it was saying 'Welcome to bmi Diamond Club...'

Time to burn some miles...they're after us...

[SQflyergirl]

Just spoke to them not 10 minutes ago - and it was still bmi diamond club then. Maybe they just changed it?

[MAN Flyer]

Just called again and there was no 'bmi'. You calling the Gold Line ?.

[SQflyergirl]

Ja. Die gold line.

You obviously have access to some speshul line then, as my mere mortals number no longer says 'bmi'.

Ok, i just called them up again just to test it (bloody expensive way to test I might add) - and this time, no "BMI"... hmmm

Perhaps they're dropping M&M and merging in the LH, LX and OS members instead.

And converting our evouchers into GUV's

look on the bright side - they didn't answer "welcome to bmi miles and more"

And do you suppose they'd re-train the India call centre staff to speak with a Germanic-Indian accent, replacing the Anglicised-Indian accent?

I'd like them to speak with the "yes, we have the flight available on the date you want and the class you want and we've already loaded the taxes and will issue the ticket yesterday" accent.

Oh you can already get that, just have to call a different department. The number is +65 67898188 and tell them you'd like to have a "Full Award".
