New, improved website!

We’re always looking for better ways to deliver information to you clearly, quickly and concisely. So we’re pleased to tell you that this autumn ba.com will undergo a radical makeover.

The new design helps you find destinations, book hotels and cars too – so planning, booking and managing your journey is even easier than before.

We hope you like the fresher look and clearer navigation and find it more user friendly. Maybe you’ll even find some inspiration for your next holiday when you’re online.


Any idea when this is going to happen? Autumn is here!

What's the betting it will happen on the 13th November, to coincide with the launch of NGCW?

If the technical team have it ready by then of course, but that would be the logical date.

Had an email about the relaunch on Monday. I've deleted the bloody thing now as I thought the info would be duplicated on the intranet but, alas, it isn't.

Anyhows, the launch date was very soon - 24th October, I believe.

Well it's still going to be the same code at the backend, so the chances are that the same bugs (features) will still exist. I get the impression the changes are stylistic rather than feature-led.

Incidentally, there used to be a time that it was possible to access the UAT side of the ba.com system (as a quick google will confirm). Always nice to see how they were getting on. However looks like someone got wind of this in the last few months and has blocked it on the firewall. The swines!

I was checking out prices on some flights to Auckland next April and the price guide window for the outbound/inbound flights was very different. It showed a 7 day view across the screen for both Outbound/Inbound flights with the options to click back 7 days or forward 7 days. i then checked some prices for flights to Athens and it came up in the old format. Not sure whether this is part of the new site or if it has been around awhile.
