On-line check in for BA Gold and Silver club members

Report by Lydia Wilson

BRITISH Airways Gold and Silver Executive Club members can check in for flights from their home or office under a new scheme launched by the carrier.

The service will allow BA’s 300,000 Gold and Silver card holders to check-in up to 24 hours before their departure, as well as book their own seat and find out which airport desk or self-service machine has their boarding card.

The new facility makes advance on-line check-in accessible to the public for the first time. Previously, the service was only available to corporate customers over their company intranets.
