These group travel rules apply to UK booked groups only, for other country rules, please contact your nearest BA office.  

In our economy and World Traveller Plus classes the minimum group size is 10 passengers or more travelling together on one flight on either the outbound or inbound portion of the journey.

For travel in our premium cabins we will look at a minimum of 7 passengers.

A key benefit is the facility to provide late names at 5 days prior to departure.

Prior to tickets being issued name changes are free of charge.

Once tickets are issued name changes are permitted at a charge of £25 per change and must be carried out prior to departure.

The deposit amount is 20% of the fare or £20 (whichever is greater). The timescales will be dependent upon when travel is commencing.

Full payment is due at 6 weeks prior to departure date.

For late bookings within 6 weeks of departure, whilst a deposit is not required, full payment must be made within 72 hours of the booking being made.

If a booking is made within 72 hours of departure then names and full payment are due immediately.

Once tickets are issued no changes/refunds are permitted.

In addition to the generous free baggage allowance we also have vast experience in dealing with groups carrying sporting equipment and musical instruments.

Any excess baggage requirements should be advised at the time of booking.

We have the facility to ensure that your group is block seated together within the aircraft. A block allocation of seats will be assigned to all group members upon request before departure where possible.

Groups are permitted to utilise the Self Service Check–in machines at their departure airport.

It takes approximately 1 minute to check–in for a single flight (approx. 3 minutes for a return journey), the queues are quicker & shorter because of this speed, and checking–in hold baggage is also faster by using the Fast Bag Drop facilities.

Travel in comfort and style with British Airways. As a scheduled carrier you can enjoy the highest level of customer service on board, with complimentary food and beverages, and the latest in–flight entertainment.

Another benefit of booking your group with British Airways is an Inspection ticket facility. Depending on the size of your group we permit a member of the group to enjoy the British Airways product and your destination in advance of the main group travelling.

Up to 50 percent of your group can upgrade to a higher cabin with access to special upgrade rates.

With an extensive network in place we also have the benefits of accommodating your group on certain carriers within the oneworld alliance.
