Hello all,
For two separate dates in May and June, I need to book either day or two-day returns from Brussels to Heathrow. It'll probably be a day return in May and a two-day return in June.
The simple question is which airline to choose: BA or BMI?
Convince me...
Happy landings,
Chris
BRU-LHR-BRU: BA or BMI?

Hey Chris,
I've done this route already a couple of times with both airlines. From my experience I would advice you to go for BA. There is no difference in price(BD cheaper One-way), the BA website is well designed to find the cheapest flights. The BA service is much better with BA, I've always had a sandwich with BA not with BD, nice crew... I found out that flights with BD are more often delayed than with BA.
Now it's up to you to make a choice.
Regards
Steve

Nothing wrong with either airline if you ask me. When I flew to Sydney via LHR last Feb, I flew BRU-LHR on a BMI morning flight. Breakfast was fine: a tasty hot wrap. The return leg was on a BA afternoon flight, and that was fine too ("something sweet or something savoury" ). Very pleasant experiences on what is after all a very brief flight. No delays flying into LHR which was quite pleasing!

BD also offer sandwiches, but only during mealtimes. On other flights you'll get pretzels and a drink.I've always had a sandwich with BA not with BD
Both BA and BD have a good product. I have a preference for BA, but that's only personal.
Some advantages of BA:
1) they use Terminal 4 for flights to/from BRU, which I prefer above Terminal 1 (with its very crowded and small central waiting-area)
2) if you are in one the first 10-12 rows, you will get a business class seatpitch of 33 inch
3) you can check-in and select your seat online 24h before departure
4) if you are at the airport, just go to one of the BA self-service check-in kiosks, insert your credit card or frequent flyer card, and you will have your boarding pass within 1-2 minutes
