Almaty, Bishkek and Freetown gain capacity increase

British Midland International (bmi) is to give its Heathrow to Freetown, Almaty/Bishkek flights a major boost with the introduction of an Airbus A330 and a substantially upgraded product from late June.  The flights operate on a Monday, Thursday and Saturday.

The aircraft will offer 36 Business Class and 196 Economy seats and will replace the leased Boeing 757 that has been operating on these services.  Readers travelling to Bishkek may note that Kazakhstan charges a £15 visa transit fee, which is payable in both directions.

Business Class clients gain a 60” seat pitch and seat recline of 50°, electronic seat controls, in-seat power, a 15” personal video screen and noise cancelling headphones.  Economy passengers will also benefit from 32” seat pitch with a recline of 6° and a personal 15” seat back video screen. www.flybmi.com
