The price won’t go up

Your flights won’t sell out and the price won’t go up while you make your decision.

If the taxes, fees and charges go down, the total price you pay will go down too. If they go up while your booking is on hold, British Airways will cover the cost. 

How it works

1. Look out for this information on the price page once you have made your flight selection.
