News in Brief

New look business class
Oasis Hong Kong Airlines has upgraded its business class across the fleet. The 'businessOasis' cabin features new amenity kits, noise cancellation headsets, heavier blankets and 'restaurant quality' catering. The decor and seats remain the same but these little changes amount to a lot for the budget airline. Oasis fly direct to Hong Kong from Gatwick daily.

Gatwick has announced it will lift the one bag rule from 31 March.

BMI Baby will start three new routes from Manchester from June. The three new routes are Lisbon, Madrid and Barcelona. No other carriers serve the Lisbon and Madrid route, so with twice-weekly flights to Lisbon and four a week to Madrid, this will certainly prove to be popular. Monarch already serve Barcelona daily and BMI Baby will operate four times a week from September which may spark a bit of a price war...
