Group travel brings its own challenges - more people can mean more to organize, more expense and more lost time. At bmi, we've developed a special service for groups traveling from London Heathrow that takes away the strain and makes the journey easier and more enjoyable.

If you are traveling in a group, you can purchase our special groups package which will give your group a personalized service at London Heathrow.

Benefits include:

• dedicated staff handling by special services team, based at Heathrow 
  
• the opportunity to inspect the site before your event - particularly useful when planning a business reception
  
• private check-in at your own dedicated check-in desk
• welcome signage, with personalized message
  
• assigned group onboard seating
  
• advance check-in
  
• special services luggage tags
  
• notification to outstation of arrival/return
  
• we can even hand out business packs on your behalf 
  

Optional extras

The following optional extras are available at an additional cost:

• business lounge access (strictly subject to availability)
• champagne reception, refreshments, nibbles and sandwiches within the business lounge (can be customized)

Find out more about these special services by calling our groups team. tel: 08701 222 888 (UK) or fax: 01709 387542 (UK) or email: group.sales@flybmi.com
