World Traveller - Check-in options and at the airport

Online check-in

Check in online from home - choose your seat and print your boarding pass before you fly. You'll be prepared before you go and you'll save time at the airport by checking in early at ba.com.

When you get to the airport, simply drop off your bags at the Fast Bag Drop before proceeding through security to the departure lounge. It's no problem if you don't have access to a printer at home. You can pick up your boarding pass at our check-in kiosks, where our friendly ground staff will be happy to help, or at the check-in assistance desk at the airport.

Check-in at the airport

It's no problem if you don’t have access to online check-in from home. You can still save time at the airport by using one of our check-in kiosks once you get there. At the kiosk you can choose your seat and print your boarding pass. All you need to do then is drop off your bags.

Fast Bag Drop*

After you've checked in online or used one of our check-in kiosks, you can leave your luggage at our Fast Bag Drop. We'll then tag your bags and send them to the aircraft - while you relax and get into the holiday feeling.

*Available at selected airports.
