Ways to Check-In for British Airways Flights

Please note: if you are travelling on a codeshare flight operated by another carrier, please check-in with the operating airline.

British Airways Online Check In

The British Airways check in online system lets you check in 24 hours prior to departure time, from the comfort of home or convenience of your office. Simply have your British Airways booking reference handy and follow the prompts. You may print, download or email your boarding pass online.

British Airways App Check In

For British Airways check-in at your fingertips, download the British Airways app, available for Android and iPhone. Similar to online check-in, British Airways allows you to register for your flight 24 hours before departure with the mobile app. You may download your boarding pass to your mobile phone, tablet or smart device.

Check in at the Airport

For airport check-in, British Airways has kiosks located in the terminal from which British Airways operates. Using your reference number, passport or valid ID not domestic flights, you may check in and print your boarding pass. If you have checked baggage, kiosk check-in permits you to add and pay for bags where charges apply. If you need assistance, you may go to the British Airways check-in counter in the airport terminal. We advise arriving at the airport three hours prior to international departures. Please note airport check-in closes one hour before your flight's departure time.
