Some customers need to be seated early because they have special seating requirements. Customers with additional needs and those travelling with infants will also be able to choose their seat online at the time of booking.

Unaccompanied minors and some specialised groups need to be seated before check-in opens. This will take place approximately 3 days prior to departure.

BA will also endeavour to sit customers travelling with young children (aged 2-11 years) together at this time, if they have not already chosen the paid seating option.
