New remote checkin service for British Airways

British Airways (BA) customers are now able to check-in while on the move now that the airline has launched its new mobile service.

Customers can now use their mobile phones to access BA’s timetable, as well as other useful features such as selecting seats through the new remote check-in facility.

Travellers can also check-in as individuals, groups and families for departure and return flights, which the airline hopes will result in a more relaxing journey.

The free service is available in 11 languages and follows the new iPhone Apple application from BA which lets passengers with iPhones check-in via their handsets.

British Airways innovation and planning manager Chris Carmichael said: "We are proud to be the first UK airline to offer a remote check-in service in 11 languages.

"We recognise that our customers have busy lifestyles and by offering greater accessibility we hope to enhance their overall travel experience."

British Airways celebrated the 50 year anniversary of the world's first commercial jet flight across the Atlantic earlier this month.
