British Airways

Tell me about British Airways

British Airways enjoys a reputation as a full-service global airline which operates an extensive route network. British Airways flies to nearly 600 destinations in every corner of the globe, and its sleek, efficient service keeps passengers returning year after year.

Why is British Airways good if you're travelling with a baby?

British Airways offers numerous advantages to families travelling with young children and babies, including flexible facilities, price discounts and special care.

The airline can supply specifically designed carrycots and infant seats, so babies can sleep on flights - particularly useful during long-haul journeys. Children are also entitled to the same baggage allowance as adults, which minimises pre-holiday fuss and enables a more stress-free start to the holiday.

Parents will be delighted to know that those under two at the time of travelling can jet off for only 10% of the adult fare, so long as they sit on their accompanying adult’s lap. Children over two can also benefit from discounts on selected short-haul flights.

As if that wasn’t enough, British Airways has developed a tasty range of children’s meals that are both hearty and nutritious, and their ‘Feed Kids First’ policy also means that parents can make sure that their youngsters are happy before enjoying their own meals. Conveniently, the airline offers on-board bottle and baby-food warming facilities on long-haul flights, allowing parents and carers flexibility with their baby’s food choices.

Has British Airways won any other awards?

Plenty. From Best Airline, to the reassuring Brandon Hall Bronze Award for their ability to provide medical assistance during flights, British Airways has the credentials that prove they are up to the job.
