BRITISH AIRWAYS is set to take the stress out of family travel this
summer as it extends its new on-line check-in facility to children and
infants from July 25 (with the family but not as unaccompanied minors).
The easy to use system is available on more than 97% of routes,
including BA Connect flights from UK regional airports. On arrival at
the airport, the family just can hand over their luggage at the ”Fast
Bag Drop” desk and go straight through security to the boarding gate.
Special child meals, including healthy options, can be booked on
mainline flights up to 24 hours before departures. The airline has
also re-launched its offerings to children. For the little ones, that
is three to five, there is the ”fun backpack” and for the next group,
that is up to 12, it”s a funky shoulder pack. New giveaways include a
set of Top Trumps cards, foldable binoculars, write-and-wipe magic
boards and an electronic game.
