About
British Airways flight tracking
British Airways operates from Terminal 5 at Heathrow, one of the largest single-airline terminals in Europe. When a BA flight shows "landed", expect another 20-30 minutes before they reach arrivals.
BA long-haul flights often arrive early morning UK time. The New York flights land around 6-7am, Dubai around 5am, Singapore around 5:30am. If you're tracking a family member, a text alert means you don't need to set an alarm to check flight trackers.
For Club World passengers on overnight flights, they may sleep through landing and not text immediately. A SkyText alert confirms touchdown regardless of whether they remember to message you.
BA operates the most transatlantic flights of any European carrier, with 6 daily departures to JFK alone.
