We were in the check- in queue this evening for BMI Baby Cork to Manchester 1 ½ hrs before the departure and was told that the flight was cancelled.
They blamed the fog and said that the flight had not departed Manchester to Cork so could not return.
I suspect this was cancelled for commercial reason, possible there was not enough people booked on to the flight both ways. The reason I suspect this is, that it was the only flight cancelled. It was foggy, but 2 miles from the airport it was clear, and when did a bit of fog stop an aircraft, they take off through it all of the time.
Has this happened to anyone else? This could be a worrying trend if airlines are cancelling for some simple excuse to save money at the expense of the customer. We had a hotel booked and will lose this money because of the short notice. Others stood to lose a lot more because they had connections to catch, one couple had a connection to Cuba.
BMI did not offer any compensation only to book us on the same flight the following day.
