Important news about check-in times at London Heathrow and Gatwick

BA.com, 10/2/2007

To coincide with the winter schedule, from 28 October 2007, British Airways will be introducing a new minimum check-in time of 45 minutes for all flights departing from London's Heathrow and Gatwick airports, with the aim to ease your journey through the airport and provide a consistent check-in time. All British Airways and GB Airways airport check-in desks and kiosks at Heathrow and Gatwick will therefore close 45 minutes before the flight is scheduled to depart.

Online check-in is not affected and will continue to close 60 minutes before departure, and check-in times for flights from all other airports, both UK and worldwide, remain unchanged.

Customers are advised to view the check-in times that apply to their individual bookings by logging onto  'Manage my booking' and selecting 'At the airport'.
