Is there a baggage allowance for students travelling for their studies?

Last updated: 24 April, 2024

Travel packages for students holding study visas, or similar official identification, may be available on some of our routes. You should search for student fares from the local ba.com website of the country where you’ll start your journey.

If no student travel offer is currently available for your journey, your ticket will still have our standard baggage allowance relevant to your route, as long as it isn’t an economy basic fare, where there’s no checked baggage allowance.

We don’t offer any extra free baggage allowance specifically for students on any other fares, but we do have discounted online rates for extra bags if you need to take more baggage on your flight. Check our extra bag charge calculator.

If you’re travelling on a specialist student fare, you must have your current official international student identification with you when you travel or you could be refused carriage.
