It's Time to Help the American Again!

[Sthronds]

Hi there, you were so helpful for me on the last question so I thought I would try again. I am definately heading your way in Mar/Apr. I will be in London for 4 days and then take the train to Bradford where my friends live. Anyway, I have to get from Manchester to London early the morning of my departure so I can get on my LHR to LAX flight. I found a good price on BMI and I was wondering what the heck "Tiny" is???

Basically there were a few choices, Tiny, Standard, and Buisness. It looks like Tiny is the least expensive but I want to know what that means?? Has anyone ever flown them? I don't want to find myself in a 10 inch seat with 15 inches of leg room!

So, stop laughing at me and give me an answer please! Thank you!

I fly Long Haul with BMI a lot and they are excellent. "Tiny" is their no frills package. Automated Check-In, complimentary Newspaper, but that is it, if want to eat or drink you have to buy on-board. The seats should be the same as their standard class (which is still quite small). I have not flown with them on an internal flight in the UK, as I don't live there any more, but the service level on long haul is very good and as such would give them a try. Cheers. Woodge

Great! Thanks for the info. I will go ahead with the "Tiny" no frills seat since it is a fairly quick flight. I can't wait to be in the UK again! I have such a huge list of things I want to do and I am sure I will have lots of questions in the next couple of months. I'll be back!
