In this article:
There is only one condition: to be enrolled in theExecutive Club, the carrier's loyalty program; what is even more interesting is that. it is not necessary to hold elite status, so if you are not yet enrolled in British's program now you have a more than valid reason to do so.
Free messaging: on which flights will it be available?
The change will affect the entire fleet (except for aircraft without wi-fi connectivity) and all the flights of British, both domestic and long-range ones.
Did you get your flight cancelled, miss your connection, land late?
You could get up to 600€ compensation per person
Free messaging, it is clear, will be appreciated especially by passengers on short flights who often, we know, do not have any entertainment options; but business travelers will also be happy, as they will be able to stay in touch with their co-workers even in the shortest routes.
Revamped website and app
As for other news, British has announced the revamping of its website and app: The first changes in user experience will be visible as early as the end of 2024.
