File British Airways complaints and get flight compensation

What can I file British Airways complaints about?

British Airways accepts complaints about:

• Delayed or cancelled flights - you can earn up to £520 in flight compensation per passenger.
• Your airport experience (for example, lost, delayed, or damaged luggage)
• You're worried about a purchase you made on the plane.
• Issues with onboarding or staffing
• Payment problem
• Any other issues you had on your British Airways flight

What is the British Airways complaint procedure if my flight is delayed?

If your flight is delayed for at least 3 hours, each passenger is entitled to up to £520 in compensation. The delay must have been caused by the airline's own negligence (such as a crew strike or a faulty aircraft) to be eligible for compensation.

What is the British Airways complaint procedure if my flight is cancelled?

If your flight is cancelled at the last minute (within 14 days before departure), you may be eligible for compensation of up to £520 per passenger. Compensation for cancelled flights is only available if the airline was at fault (for example, a staff strike or malfunctioning aircraft).

If you were given a substitute flight but declined it because it did not meet your needs, you can file a British Airways complaint to get your ticket refunded.

What is the British Airways complaint procedure if my flight is overbooked?

You were unable to board your flight because the flight was overbooked? This is referred to as denied boarding.

If the airline fails to rebook you on another flight or if the flight they eventually give you arrives more than 3 hours later than scheduled, you may be entitled to compensation.

Passengers may find the process of filing a complaint about a delayed, cancelled, or overbooked flight to be time-consuming, difficult, and upsetting.
