Frequently asked questions

How do I track my British Airways flight?
Enter the flight number at the top of this page, for example BA1234. You will see the status, expected time, gate and terminal. If the aircraft is airborne right now, it also appears on the map above.
What do BA and BAW mean?
BA is the code on your ticket and in the flight number. BAW is the callsign the crew uses on the radio and the code the aircraft shows on radar. Flights operated by a subsidiary use CFE or EFW; those appear on the map as well.
Does British Airways fly to United States?
Yes. British Airways has 32 connections to United States, making it the best-served country outside its home market. The route map above shows exactly which ones.
Which airlines fly the same routes as British Airways?
On 34 connections you will also find Virgin Atlantic, on 19 American Airlines and on 14 European Air Transport. Useful if you are looking for an alternative on the same route.
My flight is not on the map. Why not?
The map shows aircraft that are airborne right now and broadcasting their position. An aircraft still at the gate or just landed broadcasts nothing and will not appear. Coverage matters too: positions come from volunteer-run ADS-B receivers, and there are gaps over oceans and sparsely populated regions. Search by flight number instead: that page works even when the aircraft is on the ground or briefly out of range.
Where does this data come from?
Connections are derived from observed callsign routes and are not an official schedule: they say nothing about which days a route operates. Positions on the map come from ADS-B receivers. Flight status, gate and terminal come from the airports themselves.
