Flight Ready Programme – Autism

Flying can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming, especially for those with non-visible disabilities or neurodivergent conditions. That’s why we’ve partnered with Heathrow Airport to create the Flight Ready Programme – Autism, a free, one-day event to help those with Autism and their families travel with confidence.

O que pode esperar

The day is held at London Heathrow Airport, where you’ll experience key stages of the airport journey that can feel challenging, such as check-in, security and boarding. You'll then take part in the onboard cabin experience, where our cabin crew will take you through what happens onboard our aircraft, such as the inflight service, a safety demonstration and disembarking processes.

At each point, you’ll have the chance to walk through the process, ask questions and learn about the support available.

Who will be there

You’ll be supported throughout the day by British Airways colleagues from our Airport and Cabin Crew teams, as well as experts from our Global Learning Academy, Heathrow Airport, and our assistance partner, Wilson James. They’ll share their knowledge and answer any questions you may have.
