Belfast Int Airport

Can this airport be justifyed as a focas city because Bmibaby will be discounting there routes to Cardiff and Prague from March and 3 routes will only remain

:Answer to your question, no. Simple because low cost airlines do not have hubs or focus cities, instead they have bases. Zaps93 (talk) 19:10, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

::And they also clearly state their four bases on their website as Cardiff, East Midlands, Manchester and Birmingham. Welshleprechaun (talk) 22:18, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Fleet

On the list of 737 operators http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Boeing_737_operators#.C2.A0United_Kingdom it lists bmibaby as using 737-600s, here -300s and 500s, which is correct? 81.141.137.176 (talk) 09:40, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

:This article is correct for the current fleet which is 3 x 737-500 and 11 x 737-300. MilborneOne (talk) 12:29, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Charter Flights

Should this article also acknowledge charter flights/destinations operated by bmibaby?

For example, winter season 2011/2012 Bristol (BRS) to Geneva (GVA) ski-ers charter, presumably lead charter organised by Ingham's (and excess sold on to other ski holiday companies).

This does not appear on bmibaby website, but does here http://www.inghams.co.uk/flight-only/search-results/ search for Bristol to Geneva returns flight number WW7701. (WW is the 2 digit code for BMIbaby) see also

While in GVA airport a month ago I think I also spotted a bmibaby GVA-BHX rotation (not in the ingham's brochure so may have been extra capacity or chartered by another holiday company)

Pricing model also varies in that it includes 20kg checked baggage/10kg hand baggage with ski/board carriage an extra £39. Inghams does charge a small fee for credit card booking (per booking).

:It could mention as one liner in destinations that it operates charter flights but it really is not unusual or different to a lot of other airlines, actual charters are really not notable enough to include. MilborneOne (talk) 12:19, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
