British Airways New European Fare Rules

Posted on by

British Airways has introduced some new fare rules and a better advance seat-selection policy.

In short, pay approximately £30 extra to ensure you can choose your seat, make same day change,
and check-in one bag if you wish to.
BASIC FARE

No check-in bag
No seat choice
Changes incur a fee
Not Refundable
Cheapest fares

PLUS FARE

Check-in bag 23kg
Seat choice from 48 hours before departure
Changes: No fee, fare difference may apply
Changes: Free on the day of departure
Not Refundable

Fares are approximately £30 higher than Basic

PLUS FLEX

Check-in bag 23kg
Seat choice at time of booking
Changes: No fee, fare difference may apply
Changes: Free on the day of departure Fully-refundable

Plus Flex Fares are the very expensive last-available seats (Y and B class).
Example PLUS FLEX Fare to Nice (South of France), from Heathrow, £821 – £957 return!
Compare that to the lowest fares from £92 return (BASIC) , £121 (PLUS), up to the highest fares of £538 (BASIC) and £588 (PLUS)
we believe the PLUS fares are very good value

To make reservations online, the lowest fares are only available on British Airways.com and not from any other online agent.
