DOHA - British Airways, the UK's flagship carrier which operates 49 weekly flights on Middle East-Heathrow routes, has introduced Online Boarding Pass on five of its six routes it operates from the region, including the daily service from Abu Dhabi International Airport.
The Online Boarding Pass system allows customers to print their own boarding passes in the convenience of their homes, offices or hotels before departing for the airport. Complete with a unique barcode, the facility allows customers carrying only hand baggage to bypass conventional check-in desks and go straight to the security area, simplifying the overall travel experience.
"Our customers are always at the core of our innovations and developments, and with the launch of the Online Boarding Pass across selected Middle East routes, we are making travelling from the region even easier," said Amanda Ball, British Airways' Service Delivery Manager, Middle East.
Customers travelling to Heathrow from Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the Omani capital Muscat and the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi, will benefit from the enhanced e-services on ba.com - the one-stop travel planning tool where flyers can book and print electronic tickets, check-in and reserve seats 24 hours prior to departure, and now, print their own boarding pass before arriving at the airport.
"British Airways understands that customers want simple, easy to digest information tailored to their specific travel needs and we believe in ba.com and the 'Manage My Booking' facility. Ba.com is a market-leading product offering simple and complete itinerary management for our customers," continued Ball.
