British Airways introduces online check-in for UAE travellers

Time is of the essence for British Airways' customers who are now able to benefit from the recently introduced service. This online facility offers speed and convenience, and is certain to prove popular with busy travellers heading to the UK, Europe, and North America from Dubai.

To experience this new facility, British Airways' customers simply need to log onto ba.com. Customers may then check-in online whether at work or home, given that they arrive at the airport a minimum of 75 minutes before departure time. On arrival at the airport, customers can advance directly to the British Airways 'Fast Bag Drop' desk to collect their boarding pass. This facility is available to both customers with hand luggage only and those with luggage for the hold. Once customers have their boarding pass they can proceed to the departure lounge.

"The benefits of using ba.com, and Fast Bag Drop at the airport are enormous. In this day and age every moment is valuable and it is fundamental to us that our customers enjoy their travelling experience. ba.com not only reduces queuing time, but it helps customers to maximize their time so that they can have a chance to relax before their journey," said Steve Harrison, British Airways Area Manager for the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia.

British Airways operates a double daily service from Dubai to London with flight connections to more than 94 UK and European and 21 North Atlantic destinations and customers are able to check-in online to most of these destinations.

Passengers can make connecting flights from London Heathrow to the rest of the world through British Airways' worldwide route network covering some 158 destinations in 74 countries, and the oneworld network that covers a total of over 563 destinations in more than 131 countries. This extensive network offers great advantages for travellers flying out of the UAE to the rest of the world.
