byAir vs. British Airways

The British Airways app is the official place for booking, passport-assisted check-in, boarding passes, seats, baggage, disruption options, Avios, and selected airport guidance.

byAir adds a carrier-neutral timeline, independent data context, cross-airline history and statistics, and early delay signals on eligible flights.

One official app. One independent trip view.

British Airways controls its booking, benefits, and disruption options. byAir connects that segment with partners, separate tickets, and the wider journey.
