Family check-in

Check in on-line on ba.com

Take the stress out of travelling, and check in on ba.com. You can check in up to nine people at a time, choose your seats and print your boarding passes on ba.com as early as 24 hours before your flight is due to leave.

If you'd like to take more bags than your free checked baggage allowance, you can purchase extra bag allowances (for up to 10 extra bags per person) for your family before you check in online.

Check in at the airport

If you don't have access to a computer, you can still check in at the airport. Save time with our quick and easy to use check-in kiosks, available at most airports.

• Use the touch screen to choose your seats and check in within minutes. 
• You can also check in for your onward or return flight, if it’s within 24 hours. 
• Print your own boarding pass. 

All you need is:

• your booking reference, or 
• a form of identification (e.g. credit/debit card, Executive Club card or passport) and your flight number. 

You can also go to a check-in desk where our staff will be please to help you.

When you've checked in

• If you have a small folding pushchair, you'll be able to take this right to the aircraft door at most airports. If you're travelling from London Heathrow Terminal 1, please make sure you use a small, fully-collapsible pushchair, weighing no more than 5kg.
• When you've checked in, take your baggage to the Bag Drop desk.
• Some airports have dedicated 'Family Lanes' at security, so you can go through Security at your own speed. Ask at your departure airport if there is a 'Family Lane'.
• At the departure gate, we'll invite families to board before other passengers, so that you and your family can get settled on board as soon as possible.
• Airport staff will put your pushchair in the hold and it will be returned to you on arrival at the aircraft door if possible, or alternatively in the baggage hall on the baggage carousel.
