While there is an NHS discount for NHS members and military for the British Airways i360 viewing tower, we cannot currently find any official discounts for flights or holidays. We’ll update this page as soon as one is available.
How do I cancel my flight, and will I get a refund?
British Airways has revamped its process to emphasise Booking with Confidence. One feature is flexible bookings. Visit the British Airways website and click on ‘manage my booking’ to amend your flight dates or cancel your flight. When you cancel your flight, you will receive a refund in the form of a voucher that can be used when you’re ready to fly again. Cash refunds are only offered when British Airways cancels a flight.
How early can I check-in for my British Airways flight?
You can check in for British Airways flights 24 hours before departure. Trying to check in before 24 hours is the most common reason why online check-in is not working. Don’t worry if you cannot check-in online, you will be able to do so at the airport provided it’s more than an hour before your departure time.
What is British Airways Premium Economy?
The main difference between Economy and Premium Economy flights with British Airways is the room. Premium Economy offers slightly wider seats, 7 inches more leg room and a further recline. You will also get a more generous baggage allowance and priority boarding. Not forgetting the all-important in-flight entertainment screen in front.
Prices vary depending on the flight and destination, but if any of these bonus details are important to you when flying, it may be worth upgrading.
