Book flights with British Airways

British Airways flights allow you access to the free Executive Club loyalty program, a multi-tiered approach to gaining fantastic specials and rewards by simply enjoying travelling. With Blue, Bronze, Silver and Gold being the tiers to aspire towards, you will collect a British Airways currency called Avios when you fly, use car hire, or book a hotel stay. These British Airways Avios can then be used to obtain discounts on hotels, car hire, flights and so much more. As you move up the tiers of the Executive Club you will find rewards such as extra baggage, access to premium lounges, free seat selection and first-class boarding and check-in, making British Airways flights more and more comfortable as you travel.

When flying economy on British Airways flights you will be allowed to check-in baggage to the weight of 23kg, as well as have one overhead bag and a handbag or laptop bag in the cabin with you. If you are flying as a Business or First Class traveller you will be allowed 32kg, as well as your cabin bag and handbag. If your luggage weighs more than the allowance you may be charged extra for the baggage weight fee. Check with the airline with regards to strollers as only small, collapsible strollers will be allowed in the cabin. The size will dictate whether it will need to be checked-in or not.

In general, pets will not be allowed in the cabin on British Airways flights. They will need to be checked into the cargo hold for international flights. If the animal is lighter than 6kg, it can travel with you on particular journeys such as the SUN-AIR flights in a waterproof cage. If your pet is a registered service animal prescribed for medical reasons then British Airways will allow them to be by your side. Ensure their documentation and all relevant shots are up to date and ensure that you alert the airline at least 48-hours beforehand so you can have them by your side during your trip.
