Heathrow Airport opens business class check-in

Business class passengers will now be able to enjoy a dedicated check-in area at Heathrow Airport, according to reports.

British Airways has launched the new service at zone H at the far end of Terminal 5 next to the airline's first-class check-in area.

While customers are still advised to use online check-in services, British Airways said the dedicated area could prove useful for people with hold luggage or passengers who want to speak to customer service desks.

Paul Nickson, Terminal 5's customer experience manager, said that the terminal has now hosted more than seven million customers.

He added: "We're looking forward to moving a further 30 long-haul flights into the terminal on September 17th.

"This increased capacity means that even more business class customers are flying through Terminal 5 so it's a good time to introduce the dedicated zone."

Business class passengers can now take advantage of internet access at Terminal 5 after T-Mobile installed Wi-Fi hot spots.
