Moscow (and Cairo) are supposed to operate on one of the three bmi A320's that have a full business class (G-MIDT / O / Y) although you may well end up on a bmed aircraft! The business class is 2x2 seating with foot rests. IFE is in the form of personal media players handed out after take off. There's a full meal service (linens, proper crockery etc) with each hot meal plated up individually. Economy are the normal bmi short haul economy seats but a full hot meal service with a choice of three main courses is offered. The ex-bmed aircraft all have the same BA seating but with bmi red carpets and yellow / blue headrest covers. Even the latest A321 G-MEDN which was delivered directly to bmi has the BA seat covers! Full info and pictures can be found on this topic from flyertalk.

Thank you....very useful information. It states on flyertalk.com that in 2008 a unified seat design will be bought out throughout the mid-haul aircraft...will the seats be the same ones as the Bmi Business Class which is already on the G-MIDO, G-MIDY & G-MIDT aircraft? I.e., the ones which do the Moscow & Cairo routes (non ex. Bmed routes!)
