The British Airways Online boarding pass service aims to provide your customers a service with ease, speed, flexibility and choice.
Online Check-in lets your customers print their own boarding pass using their home or office printer, on flights from selected airports. The Online boarding pass is printed on regular letter paper and has a unique 2-D bar code. Furthermore the passenger can decide to collect the OBP at the airport. Since 15. April 2008 the OBP offers even more options: - Passengers can forward the OBP to a fax machine of their choice
- Passengers can email the OBP to another person
- Passengers can save the OBP as a PDF file
