Ron Avery Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Its Official, BMI Baby have just published their summer routes and there are no Toulouse flights to E Midlands or Cardiff after March. It would appear the Toulouse route has been sacrificed for the Bordeaux flights from Birmingham.Judging by the numbers of people who used BMI baby in the summer and over the Christmas period, (the flights must have been full going back after Christmas), this may not be the best commercial decision BMI baby have made, or perhaps Toulouse have been leaned on by Airfrance.Perhaps it is also to shore up BMI's scheduled flights to Toulouse, but having waited 4.5 hours on Christmas eve for a scheduled BMI flight from Manchester, (plane not available at Manchester, had to be brought from Edinburgh) I am not sure BMI are interested in this route at all.

Owens88 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 HmmmSomebody else was reporting elsewhere that Perpignan airport is 'under scrutiny' at the moment as well.For anybody that knows the area I could see a good argument for an airport in the area of Latour de Carol / Puigcerda which would have a cracking skiing market and still be useful to the area as a whole.Where is the 'new airport ' suggestion box (smile)?

We fly down four or five times a year from Yorkshire so lucky for us Jet2 Leeds do Nice very cheaply. Nothing to France yet arranged from Robin Hood but speaking to travel agent yesterday she says she has it on the QT another operator will come in later this year to do France. We wait in anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybe from Brum is really expensive, especially as we have to stick to school holidays. Have given up and booked Speedferries for Easter.Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
