Travel information

Travel guides and advice

Our travel articles offer practical guidance for planning flights and understanding a trip before booking, changing or requesting services.

Plan with clearer information

The articles cover subjects such as booking references and ticket status, baggage allowances, fare conditions, flight changes, cancellations, credits, disruption options and partner-operated itineraries. Each topic is kept focused so travellers can find the relevant steps without treating a general guide as an airline support portal.

Before booking, use the guides to compare inclusions, flexibility and the complete itinerary. For an existing trip, they can help you identify the ticket issuer and operating airline, prepare the information needed for a request and understand which matters may need to be handled directly by the airline.

Policies, fees and operational procedures can change. Travellers should check the current official airline guidance and the conditions attached to their particular ticket before paying, changing a booking or relying on an available option.

Prepare for a booking by comparing conditions as well as price
Check reservation, ticketing and operating-carrier details
Review baggage, seating and assistance considerations
Understand the boundaries around voluntary changes and disruption
Find the appropriate airline or issuing agency for the request

Catchaflight provides independent travel-agency assistance. We are not an airline, and our articles do not replace the current rules, confirmations or decisions supplied by the airline responsible for a booking or flight.

Existing booking guide

British Airways Manage Booking: A Practical Guide

British Airways Manage My Booking lets travellers view an existing reservation using a six-character booking reference and passenger surname. What can be viewed or changed depends on where the ticket was purchased, which airline issued it, the fare conditions and the airlines operating the flights.

Baggage allowance guide

British Airways Baggage Allowance: Bags, Sizes and Weight Limits

British Airways baggage allowance depends on the fare, cabin, route, membership status and operating airline. Check the allowance attached to the current ticket rather than relying on what was included on a previous journey.

Flight changes and cancellations guide

British Airways Flight Changes and Cancellations: A Practical Guide

Changing or cancelling a British Airways booking starts with the reason for the request, the ticket issuer and the complete fare rules. A voluntary request is different from an airline cancellation or schedule change, and the available outcome depends on the specific ticket and circumstances.
