More information

As a result of the disruption to flights from Terminal 5, some customers' bags will unfortunately be delayed.

British Airways are working hard to process delayed bags and reunite them with customers as quickly as possible.

If your bag has been delayed, you can register your details and track your baggage here.

The baggage tracing system on ba.com will be updated as we process bags and arrange delivery to you. If there is no new information available, it is because we are still processing your bag. We will provide the latest information as quickly as possible.
