Yay!

If you had a British Airways (BA) flight or holiday disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, check if you've got an old voucher as millions of pounds' worth are still unclaimed. You'll need to use it to travel before the end of September 2025 – or risk losing it. Below we explain how to search for unused vouchers and how to use them.
