Changes to British Airways credit card fees

British Airways has announced a change to its credit card fee for consumer and trade bookings.

From 14 December 2016, if customers choose to pay using a credit card they will now be charged a non-refundable 1% fee of their total ticket price, up to a maximum of £20.

British Airways will continue to offer a selection of free payment methods on ba.com and through the trade.

Switzerland, Spain and Finland will also move to 1% fee from 14 December which will be capped at EUR25 and CHF30.

British Airways does not profit from these fees – they make a contribution towards the charges levied by the credit card companies.
