British Airways

Editor's Review

The British Airways app is your ultimate travel companion 🌍, designed to make your journey smoother and more enjoyable. With a personalized interface and a host of convenient features, this app puts everything you need right at your fingertips. Whether you're booking flights 🎫, managing your itinerary 📅, or staying updated on flight statuses ⏱️, the British Airways app has you covered.

One of the standout features is the timeline view ⏰, which provides live travel and flight information in an easy-to-read card format. You’ll see a countdown to your flight ⏳, terminal and gate details 🚪, and real-time updates if anything changes. This ensures you're always in the know! 👍

The app also supports multiple boarding passes 📱 for up to eight passengers on a single phone, provided everyone is on the same booking. This feature is available at several major airports, including London Heathrow and Amsterdam. However, it's worth noting that bookings with infants 👶 cannot use this feature.

Your home screen is personalized based on your next destination 🏠, giving you quick access to essential information and your mobile boarding pass. Add the British Airways widget 📲 to your phone's home screen for even faster access to flight details and boarding passes.

Booking flights is a breeze with access to the cheapest fares and recent searches 🔍. Manage your flights by purchasing upgrades ⬆️, selecting seats 💺, and adding flights to your calendar 🗓️. Executive Club members can check their Avios 💰, Tier Points, and transaction history, and even update their digital bag tag (TAG) 🏷️ within the app. Plus, lounge users can easily access the British Airways Lounge Wi-Fi password 🔑.

The app requires permissions for your calendar, email, camera, location, and Bluetooth services to provide full functionality. Notifications 🔔 keep you informed every step of the way.
