one way ticket for bmi british midland

nced a major shake up of its fare structure.

From June 14 the carrier will adopt a ‘one way’ fares structure reflecting those used by most low-cost carriers.  

This will allow travellers to book the lowest fares for each leg of their journey. In effect this will bring to an end minimum stay requirements and the Saturday night stopover rule.

In a further relaxation of the rules, passengers will be allowed to change the original flight they have booked to fly with subject to a £25 administrative charge.

Chief executive officer Austin Reid said: “What we had found was that one of the main areas our no frills competitors had an advantage over us was our fare restrictions, specifically on our very low fares that had to be booked as part of a return journey. What we have done is wipe the slate clean and start again with this complete rethink of our ticket prices.”

The new fare structure will not apply to the carrier’s German routes and transatlantic flights from Manchester.
