on time and online bmi is the first carrier to bring web points to London Heathrow Web points are designed to save you time at the airport. The computer terminals, which have direct links to flybmi.com, will enable you to access your flight information instantly. If you arrive at least an hour before your flight, you can skip the queues and check in online, or, if you’ve lost or forgotten your boarding card, you can simply reprint it. What’s more, you can make bookings for flights that leave at least two hours later, and you can also check up on how your diamond club account is faring. Look out for web points around the check-in areas at Heathrow, Glasgow and Edinburgh and in the lounges at Heathrow and Manchester.
