Be First

To fly in First is to be first. First on and off the plane, first to collect your luggage, fast-track through security and first to relax in our exclusive lounges, such as the Concorde Room at London Heathrow Terminal 5*.

Other options for check-in are also available including:

Online: check-in online at ba.com up to 24 hours before your flight departs - choose your seat and print your boarding pass.

Mobile: logon to ba2go.com using your internet-enabled mobile phone to check-in wherever you are.

Airport kiosk: use our quick and easy check-in kiosks at the airport. 

Baggage allowance

When travelling in First you are entitled to up to three standard-sized pieces of checked baggage at 32kg each on all routes at no additional charge. You can carry on one piece of standard-sized hand baggage as well as one laptop sized bag, handbag or briefcase

* Dedicated First check-in is available at selected airports. Fast Track Security is available at London Heathrow, London Gatwick and New York JFK.
