Advantages: Can get free flights and earn miles from a variety of sources Disadvantages: Unless you are a serious frequent flyer, it could take you a long time
...a loyalty club membership for British Midland customers, the UK’s second full airline carrier. Therefore the most logical way to sign up, is when booking a flight with them. You can however, also sign up for a BMI Classic or Platinum Mastercard with MBNA, where you will currently receive 20,000 destination miles (sufficient for one short flight) when you make your first purchase, and points for every pound spent on the card thereafter, but more about ...

UP UP & AWAY Review ofBritish Midland Diamond Clubby
purdy
Advantages: Earn miles to travel in style Disadvantages: Cant think of any
If you have ever read any of my recent Ciao reviews they are usually about travel. So it would come as no surprise if l were to say that l was a member of a few frequent flyer programmes.
At present we are concentrating on our BMI Diamond Club cards. For any flights we have to make to London Heathrow, from Belfast City, BMI are the only carrier making the journey so we are not left with much of an option but to use them.
BMI are part of the ...

Advantages: Can earn BMI points using BMI partners Disadvantages: None I can think of yet
I have been a member of the BMI Diamond Club for the past two years now and would be lost without it since I fly with BMI quite regulary. Membership is free and is quite simple to join.

Destination - These are your actual free flight or car hire certs.

Advantages: Bigger Seats, Friendly staff, Good booking system Disadvantages: no sandwiches or free net use
I've been a member of the diamond club now for almost a year due to my work in London for the past 10 months, basically you get 30 points per flight (Man - LHR) and the free flights start at around 400 points. During the quiet periods BMI have double your points offers on flights so your points add up quickly.
The member lounges are very tidy and have a great selection of drinks, the London Heathrow has an additional lounge for silver & gold members ...

Better than BA Review ofBritish Midland Diamond Clubby
harryson
Advantages: Friendly staff, nice atmosphere Disadvantages: Poor range of food
...have been a member of British Midland's Exec Club, Diamond Club, for almost a year and have been very impressed. The lounges are always very smart and even when busy I've been able to get a seat, a paper and a drink. The staff are always very friendly and helpful but not 'in your face'. What I particularly like is that they give you the option of either boarding the plane as soon as it is ready or waiting so that you are the last man aboard. This ...
