British Airways Launches Student Promotion in Singapore

British Airways has launched a promotion for students travelling for further studies in the UK, entitling them to check-in an extra piece of luggage weighing up to 23kg, in addition to the current allowance of one checked bag of up to 23kg in the World Traveller (economy cabin).

The tickets are valid for a year and students can change dates without any additional change fee.

Noella Ferns, British Airways’ Head of Sales, Asia Pacific, said, “Following months of uncertainty caused by the global lockdown, we are delighted to be offering direct flights between Singapore and the UK. We realise that going to university is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we would love for the students to start this adventure with us. Packing for school can be stressful for many students (and their parents!) as there is just so much they wish to bring with them. To help ease this issue, we are proud to continue with the tradition of supporting our students with a more generous baggage allowance. On behalf of British Airways, we wish all the students the best as they embark on this new and exciting journey of their lives.”

In response to COVID19, British Airways has introduced a range of measures to help keep customers safe. Prior to travel, they will receive information on changes at their airport and onboard experience and tips on how to prepare for their journey. Students will also be asked to help manage the wellness of themselves and everyone else travelling by:

- Checking-in online, downloading their boarding pass and where possible self-scanning their boarding passes at the departure gate.

- Observing social distancing and using hand sanitisers that are placed throughout airports.

- Using new contactless, automated features at BA's lounges, including a new online food and drink service.

- Wearing a facemask at all times and bringing enough to replace them every four hours for longer flights.

- Ensuring they have everything they need from their hand luggage before departure, and where possible, storing their carry-on bag under the seat in front of them.

- Not travelling if they think they have any symptoms of COVID19.

British Airways also cleans all key surfaces including seats, screens, seat buckles and tray tables after every flight and each aircraft is completely cleaned from nose to tail every day.

The special offer is available through five of British Airways’ key travel partners in Singapore: PriceBreaker, Chan Brothers Travel, New Shan Travel, CTM and UOB Travel.
