British Airways Check-in Information

Check-In Options

Online Check-In: Available from 24 hours up to 1 hour before your flight's departure. You can check in via the British Airways website or the British Airways mobile app. This allows you to select seats, manage bookings, and download or print your boarding pass.

Mobile App: The British Airways app enables you to check in, choose seats, and store your boarding pass on your device. It's available for download on both iOS and Android platforms.

Airport Check-In: If you prefer to check in at the airport, British Airways counters open approximately 3 hours before departure. It's recommended to arrive early to allow ample time for check-in, security screening, and boarding.

Baggage Drop and Boarding

Baggage Drop: For long-haul flights, including those from Australia, baggage drop counters close 60 minutes before departure. Ensure you have completed check-in and dropped your bags before this cutoff.

Boarding: Boarding typically commences 45 minutes prior to departure. It's advisable to be at the gate well in advance to avoid any last-minute issues.

These policies may differ, however, so you should check with British Airways for its timings, rules and procedure that may apply during check-in.
