V-Flyer

I'm going to book a few flights with bmi EDI-LHR but when I get to the bit where you submit your frequebt flyer number there's no mention of VS FC...

Help?

Hi JAT74L,

I assume you are booking via flybmi.com.

It only shows a few *A partners FC programmes.

I always show my VS FC card at check in ( and keep the boarding passes) in case they have not posted within about a month of my bmi flight then send them in to FC if necessary. Miles have then posted within a day or two.

Many thanks TBS...

Yes, I'm attempting to book via flybmi. Will give em the card at the desk as you say.

Regards

John

Once I've made an online booking with BMI I usually ring up and add my FC number to the booking.

I have flown several times with BMI and agree with all that has been siad before. As a quick point of note - you only get miles and tier points for business class from LHR-EDI (and other short flights).

When I took my first flight I phoned BMI directly. I was told by two of their staff that they were NOT a partner of Virgin. I eventually got Virgin to phone up BMI to sort it out - a more senior BMI rep then called back and apologised for the misunderstanding.

I always just use FC card at checkin. However, make sure you keep all reciepts/boarding card stubs etc. About 50% of my BMI flights never appeared on my FC account and I had to send proof - fortunately they all got there in the end

Actuially McJock - from my online statement...

22 Aug 2004 bmi, LHR-EDI Discounted Economy Class. 250
24 Aug 2004 bmi, EDI-LHR Discounted Economy Class. 250

But tier points are only for business class on trips under 2000 miles.

To give you the full account on earning miles and tier points with BMI, refer to the BMI flow section below:
