		<description>David,

Glad that you&#039;ve found a way around this &#039;bug&#039;, even if it means flying with another airline!

Trouble is , there is no &#039;feedback loop&#039; - I&#039;m not counting on our rants on this blog getting read by BMI anytime soon. So, the bad decision to cut corners will still broken, and customers will &#039;leak&#039; away without BMI realising why.

Of course, BMI&#039;s priority is probably sorting our the high cost of fuel, or failing that, merging with Ethiad airlines.

		<description>Going from London to the Netherlands and back today, BMI won&#039;t allow me to check in for the return journey. So BMI&#039;s incompetence isn&#039;t unique to the London to Dublin route. 

My tip - if you&#039;re going to central London/the City, use either BA or Air France to London City Airport from Dublin, so you avoid both BMI&#039;s incompetence (both Air France and BA let you check in for the return - what time before the return may vary). You also avoid the inevitable delays at Heathrow. Best of all, it takes all of 2 minues to get out of City Airport and into a taxi or onto the Docklands Light Railway.

		<description>Donncha,

So it&#039;s official - PHP gets you further than Java :-)

The point is not if that was a good decision; it&#039;s more how do you find the code (when it&#039;s buried) to review it in 5 years time?

		<description>Or what about British Airways who delayed my luggage on &lt;a href=&quot;http://ocaoimh.ie/2007/07/20/im-in-san-francisco-luggage-is-in-london/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the way out&lt;/a&gt; to San Francisco and &lt;a href=&quot;http://ocaoimh.ie/2007/08/01/someone-in-london-loves-my-luggage/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the way back&lt;/a&gt;.
Next year I&#039;m flying anyone buy BA!

Yes, I can see how BMI&#039;s system would make sense to a programmer sitting at a desk. &quot;Sure, they&#039;ll pick up their tickets on the way back.&quot; I think the BA web checkin was the same. :(</description>
