BA opens business class check-in at T5
04 September 2008
British Airways (BA) has announced the opening of a dedicated check-in area for people catching business class flights from Heathrow airport's Terminal 5.
The area, which opened on 3 September, is located at zone H at the far end of Terminal 5 next to the airline's first-class check-in area.
Customers who have checked in online up to 24 hours prior to their flight can travel to the dedicated zone to use self-service kiosks and drop off their bags.
Paul Nickson, customer experience manager at Terminal 5, said that the Heathrow facility has now handled more than 7m passengers.
He added: 'We're looking forward to moving a further 30 long-haul flights into the terminal on 17 September.
'This increased capacity means that even more business class customers are flying through Terminal 5 so it's a good time to introduce the dedicated zone.'
T-Mobile announced this week that it is set to turn Terminal 5 into its biggest Wi-Fi hotspot in the UK, meaning travellers will be able to use their laptops, phones and digital devices to access the internet from the terminal.
Opodo cheap flights, hotels and car hire - let the journey begin!
