Why fly BA...?

Selecting our holiday destinations starts with a simple question: "Where would you like to go?"  We take the time to listen to each of the over 40 million passengers who fly with us each year to ensure that we can offer you more destinations more often than just about anyone else.  So upgrade to British Airways and take your pick of more than 150 destinations across the world, from the smallest Caribbean paradise islands through to the bustling Big Apple.  Just pack your bags and leave the rest up to us.

Your journey begins before you reach the airport, and doesn't end until you're safely back at home.  So we've ensured that you can plan every detail of your holiday with us, from selecting the perfect Shanghai hotel to choosing just the right rental to get you around Milan's cobblestoned streets.  And because the most memorable sights are rarely signposted, a wealth of hints, tips and inside information on your holiday destination is awaiting your arrival when you log on to ba.com.  What's more, if your family is set to join your holiday adventure at a later stage, we offer a special service for children travelling alone called Skyflyer Solo to make sure they have a safe and fun flight in the company of a certain Mr Paddington Bear™.

When you need to get away from it all, the last thing you want to do is stand in a queue.  Our online booking system lets you avoid the airport madness and get yourself, your kids, your mom, dad, grandma and anyone else who might be sharing your holiday checked in with just a few simple clicks.  Our ba.com website lets you check in up to nine people, print your boarding pass and reserve your seat from our selection of handy seat maps without having to leave the comfort of your favourite chair.  So save time, check-in online and we'll make sure the only thing on your mind when you depart is how to spend your time when you arrive.
