Seats are available on flights including Heathrow – Aberdeen, Berlin, Cairo, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Jeddah, Manchester, Moscow, Riyadh and Vienna.
BA Gold and Silver Executive Club members are being offered access to Bmi lounges.
BA Executive Club members will also be offered a “status match” into Bmi’s Diamond Club programme and gain double miles until the end of June.
CEO Wolfgang Prock-Schauer said: “As a fresh series of strikes looms, Bmi will continue to offer a better alternative to customers.
"We are increasing the number of seats available on our services so that customers can guarantee getting to their destinations when they planned to, particularly during the half-term period.”
