Club Europe - Check-in options and at the airport

Woman checking in online.

Online check-in

Save time by checking in online at ba.com. Choose your seat and print your online boarding pass before you've even arrived at the airport. If you have luggage to check in, simply drop it at our Fast Bag Drop desk where we'll tag it and send it to the aircraft. The dedicated Fast Track security channel at London Heathrow Terminal 1 premium check-in area lets you speed through the airport.

Check-in at the airport

If you don't have access to online check-in, the fastest option is to use our check-in kiosks with the support of our helpful ground staff. Simply check in and print your boarding pass in under a minute, then drop any luggage at the Fast Bag Drop and head to security. You also have the option of using our Club Europe check-in assistance desks. And at London Heathrow Terminal 1, our separate premium check-in area also has a dedicated security channel to help you speed through the airport.

Lounges

Work or relax away from the noise and the crowds. Our Terraces and Galleries lounges offer an oasis of calm - an ideal place where you can prepare for a day's work. The Combiz centre offers laptop, internet connection and BT Openzone wireless broadband so you can stay in touch.

If you're travelling for pleasure, our lounges invite you to relax and start your holiday before you even get to your destination. Sit back and sip on a cappuccino or enjoy a glass of fresh juice in a quiet, peaceful environment. Club Europe will ensure you get your holiday off to the right start.

And if you're feeling hungry, head to the larder for complimentary light snacks, or unwind with a drink from the wine bar after a long day.
