bmi makes a distinction between its short-haul and medium-haul flights, and this distinction is carried over into the type of seating you will encounter onboard.

Airbus aircraft equipment may therefore vary across domestic, Western Europe and destinations to North Africa and Asia. Short-haul Airbus aircraft however, within the UK and Europe have a 32" seat pitch in both business and economy.

Business class passengers in a separate cabin receive complimentary newspapers and magazines, free refreshments appropriate to the time of day and are eligible to qualify for double bmi's frequent flyer miles in its Diamond Club programme. There is a complimentary bar service including Champagne (not on UK flights),

Moscow-bound business passengers have a 41" seat pitch and a personal in-flight entertainment player with a seven inch touch screen.
