Refund terms and conditions:

Paid seating is non-refundable unless:

  • there is an aircraft change and BA is unable to seat you in a suitable alternative seat.
  • there is a flight disruption causing you to be moved to another flight and BA is unable to seat you in a suitable alternative seat on your new flight.

Paid seating will not be refunded if you cancel your flight, are involuntarily upgraded due to oversales, or are not suitable to sit in the seat type you have selected.

If, in accordance with your fare rules, you choose to move to a different flight, you will be entitled to choose an equivalent seat on your new flight. However if an equivalent seat is not available the additional amount paid will be forfeited and will not be refunded.

You have 30 days after the last flight in your itinerary to apply for a refund.

Refund applications should be submitted online. Refund applications cannot be processed at the airport or onboard.

Unless otherwise stated, BA will only make a refund to the credit card used to pay for the pre-assigned seating.
