Questions
Reports from flyers in India appear on this page, and our monitor also checks Manage My Booking on ba.com. If you are the only one with the error, try another network or the BA app. For delays to an actual flight, use Flight status on ba.com.
Most problems hit one part of ba.com:
- Manage My Booking is not showing your booking.
- Login to your British Airways Club account fails.
- Online check-in or payment errors out.
Open the same booking in the BA app. If the app also fails and others in India report it, the fault is with British Airways.
24 hours before departure, through Manage My Booking or the British Airways app. At the airport, check-in for long-haul flights closes at least 60 minutes before departure. With a boarding pass already, go straight to Bag Drop with your ID and visas.
It depends on how long the delay is.
- Over 2 hours: BA aims to give refreshment vouchers, or repays reasonable expenses except alcohol.
- Over 3 hours: you may be able to claim compensation, depending on the reason.
- Over 5 hours: if you no longer want to travel, you can claim a refund.
Keep receipts. The quickest way to claim expenses is the online claim, which takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Rebook free on the next BA flight in Manage My Booking.
- Or request a refund.
- If no suitable flight is possible within 24 hours, call BA about other airlines or transport.
When the next flight leaves the following day, BA offers a hotel room. Bookings made through a travel agent are handled by the agent.
