British Airways Flight information by text message

BA’s text-messaging service, developed by mobile marketing agency Incentivated, allows passengers to request up-to-the-minute flight information for the previous day, the current day and the next five days. The airline hopes it will take pressure off its call centre flight-information service, which handles 1.5m calls each year.

British Airways new text service, available for UK registered mobile phones, allows you to get up-to-the-minute flight information for yesterday, today and the next 5 days, direct to your mobile.

How to use the service

Simply text D for Departures or A for Arrivals followed by a space, the departure date of the flight (DDMMYY) and the British Airways flight number (BAXXX) to 60747.
If your flight departs today you don't need to add the date.

Example text messages

D 250610 BA117	Departure information for BA117 on 25 June 2010
A 150510 BA118	Arrival information for BA118 departing on 15 May 2010

Your text message with the flight information should arrive instantly, if it doesn't please use help.
