The British Airways Affiliate Marketing programme is an advertising programme that rewards media or site owners for displaying British Airways affiliate advertisements that link directly to ba.com for purchase on the site.

Earn commission

If accepted onto the programme you will earn commission on a qualifying transaction, which is a valid flight, holiday, car rental, or hotel booking made on ba.com.

We are looking for affiliate sites that:

  • Are compatible with ba.com
  • Fully operational and functioning offering a streamlined customer journey
  • Contain no offensive or controversial content.

As an affiliate you must agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the programme. Please ensure the links on your website are kept up to date and we will take care of the rest. You can change and update your website links at any time, and it is advisable to update your links frequently. The global network is run using the Performance Horizon Group Remember to include your affiliate network tracking code in your links to ensure your sales are tracked and your commission is paid. You can monitor your commission daily by logging onto the PHG interface.
