BA introduces three-day hold-free

BRITISH Airways has
introduced a new service
for direct online bookers
that allows them to hold a
booking for up to three days.
Customers reserving flights
via BA’s website can now
pay £10 (R180) to hold longhaul
reservations for up to
72 hours. If within 72 hours
customers want to pay for
their flights, the hold deposit
is refunded and the ticket
can be purchased.
The name of one person is
needed to hold the flights.
Additional names of those
travelling can be added
within 72 hours of the
booking being held.
The hold-fee is also
available for short-haul
flights in the UK or Europe
for £5 (R89).
