How do I get a hold of British Airways Bookings?

We are well aware of the emergencies that we have to face while making the booking to our favourite destination. At that time, we feel that we will end up losing a good deal but there are some airlines like British airways that do give a chance to its passengers to keep that on hold and resume the booking process again.We know that the passengers out there are always looking for the answer to the question,How can I get hold of British Airways? So, we are here to provide you with the information related to this. You can go through this to get more knowledge on the flight hold process in British airways.

Through BA Phone Number

The general number for changes to bookings is 1 (800) 247-9297 or 1(800)364-9405 option 1 (calls charged at local rate) Daily: 06:00-20:00

Try to call when they open or last thing before they close. If you ring when they open, try to ring 2 or 3 minutes before to get through the menu options in advance of the opening time.

If you have Executive status you will be shown the correct number to call by logging into your account and clicking contact executive club on this page.

If you are having trouble and being hung up on – don’t press any options, just wait.

Try calling another English-speaking country’s BA number such as 800-AIR-WAYS 866-393-0961 the US which is often quieter. Be wary of the cost – a Skype cash account is great for these type of calls. I’d also use Skype if you are abroad and need to contact BA. It takes a minute or two to set it up but could save you a fortune. Most calls only cost around 1-2p per minute.

Through BA Social Media

At the moment having a Twitter account can be very useful to get through to companies even if you never use it for anything else. BA’s Twitter is @British_Airways.

You will need to follow them and have them follow you in return by tweeting them and tagging them. Do not give out any booking details until you have got to the direct messaging stage. It will take several days or longer for them to get back to you. So you will have to be patient.

If you have a BA Holidays booking you have to contact them unless you are GGL. For GGL they will usually liaise with BA Holidays for you to sort it out, so call the usual GGL number.

While you are away or for travel within 24 hours you can contact the BA Holidays Duty office on [email protected] or text +44 786 002 2933. If you do not meet those criteria they will not be able to help.

If you need to contact BA Holidays before you travel or want to make changes, call 0344 493 0787 and select Option 1 (charged at local rate), from 07:30 to 20:00 daily.
