bmi is adding extra seats to some of its destinations during the forthcoming series of BA strikes.

The move – which will see larger aircraft placed on certain routes on bmi’s domestic and international network – is in response to growing demand as customers switch to bmi to guarantee that they will get to their destinations.

Thousands of extra seats will be added during the strike periods. The first BA strike will begin on 18 May, ending on 22 May, with three further five-day strikes beginning on 24 May, 30 May and 5 June.

In addition, bmi is helping former BA customers by offering:

• BA Gold and Silver Executive Club members access to bmi owned lounges, including the acclaimed Great British Lounge and the newly-refurbished London Room at Heathrow Terminal 1
• BA Executive Club members will also be offered a status match into bmi’s Diamond Club programme (e.g. gold to gold, silver to silver) and benefit from double miles on all bmi travel until the end of June.
