British Airways introduces mobile app to speed up check-in at Heathrow Airport

British Airways has produced a new app for the iPhone that it hopes will speed up check-in.

Customers will be able to download their boarding pass and use their smartphone to check-in and confirm their plane seats.

Instead of having to print a boarding pass out, travellers will now be able to store the information on their iPhone.

At present the feature is only available on Heathrow to Edinburgh flights.

By the end of August, it is anticipated that the app will work for all domestic flights, with it becoming available for long-haul routes next year too.

Other features the app will include are flight information, an air miles tally, Twitter updates and travel news.

The app also enables travellers to search British Airways flights and routes, track flights and link to the executive club account.

British Airways recently launched its new campaign celebrating the things people love most about holidays.
