International GGL number?
Bit of a medical issue while away and I need to contact BA from abroad regarding early boarding and wheelchair at LHR due to difficulty walking due to burns.
Sadly the 0800 GGL number won't work in the hotel here (staff can't get it to either), so is there an alternative? Failing that a Gold line international number would be much appreciated.
DMs open.
Thanks!

Usually you can get it to work (for free) through Skype. Have you tried that?

Login into your account.
BA.com/contact
select UK
Then you should see a +44 161 number.

But yes, I'm amazed people don't use VOIP if they are regular travellers.

I don't think it's totally free to call a land line using Skype. If I recall it is about 0.017p per minute?

The US 1-877 GGL number is free via Skype.

But not Skype, it is terrible.

Which is as good as free. 30 minute call costs 0.51p

Freephone numbers are always free on Skype.
