Advantages: wide list of destinations, helpful staff, reasonably reliable

Disadvantages: None significant

I travel fairly often around Europe with my job and most of the time its out on a monday and back on a friday. This is important because British Midland or BMI British Midland as they like to call themselves now are probably the most reliable airline in Europe. I hear you asking who's the worst? Well "Fly the Flag" British Airways are up there close to the top of my list!

But not only are BM a reliable airline, there staff are also friendly, helpful and above all normal, what do I mean by this, well have you noticed how the staff on airlines fall into two categories, either they are prima donnas who think they are doing you a favour allowing you on the plane or they are just downright rude! BM are not like that.

The planes are relatively new, clean and tidy, the food is like most airlines crap, but if you fly business class, and BMs Business Class fares are almost the same price as everyone elses economy then at least you get a reasonable selection.

If you have to fly you could not do better than BM and you could do a lot worse.

Happy travelling!

Some more details about the routes and so on would be nice. Please use the correct tow-letter code for BMI British Midland - it is BD not BM!

Chrisbrn. Sorry I have been away. I travel Business Class on business but I also use BM for personal travel and its the attitude of their flight attendants and staff not particularly the planes or food ( ughh ) which are pretty much the same whatever airline you fly. Also their ability to get their planes into the air ontime most of the time I think makes them standout from the crowd.

Good op, could have done with a bit more info though.

I take it that you travel first class?, would you still rate BM as highly if you were sitting in the ecconomy class?
