News in Brief

BMI Bin Business Class
bmi has introduced an economy only cabin on flights across their UK and Ireland network from London Heathrow. This means that economy seats will be the only option on these routes as the separate business class cabins have been removed.
You can still take advantage of the same benefits as if flying business class such as; the use of the bmi business lounges, guaranteed seating at the front of the aircraft, complimentary food and drink onboard but with the lower economy rate air passenger duty (APD) charge, by purchasing a fully flexible economy ticket.


Avis Add Fee for Non Cancel
Avis are charging customers who fail to cancel their car rental bookings. A fee of £40 if the car is not collected within 24 hours of the time and date booked. If you have to cancel an Avis car rental booking, then please contact a member of your TMG Corporate team.

Chiltern Rail to Rev Up
Chiltern Railways has invested £250m to create a new main line from Marylebone Station in London to Oxfordshire and the Midlands. The money will be used to upgrade the existing route resulting in faster trains reducing current journey times by an average 20%. Also a brand new line will be built to Oxford, the first new link from London to a major British city since 1910.

More Fully Flat Flights for CO
Continental Airlines is to increase the number of flights between London and New York, and says that all aircraft serving Heathrow will feature its new fully flat bed in business class from June.
The carrier will add a fourth daily flight on March 27, followed by a fifth on October 30. The new services will take Continental’s daily offering out of Heathrow to seven flights, including its twice-daily service to Houston.

BA News
Hand Baggage Policy - Following the recent introduction of revised security arrangements for all travelling into the USA, British Airways wants to reiterate its hand baggage policy for passengers in all cabins.

World Traveller and World Traveller Plus passengers to the USA from Heathrow and Gatwick will continue to take only one item of hand luggage. Club World and First passengers from Heathrow, Gatwick and London City are now able to take the normal two bag hand luggage allowance.
Customers travelling to destinations outside the United States or from the United States are not affected.

Cabin Crew Strike Update - although the December BA cabin crew strike was averted, a new strike ballot is currently underway with the decision due on 22 February 2010. Hopefully this dispute can be resolved without the need for strike action but if not, it is rumoured that disruption could go ahead from early March 2010. TMG Corporate will keep you updated with any developments as they happen.
