New BA Website

It seems to me that BA might have taken a few ideas from EK’s site!?!

Looks good, wouldn’t be surprised if BA are doing the new site in stages, to avoid falling into the same problems as Singapore Airlines when they launched there new site.

I think BA, EK and VS have all used the same web designers – the sites all look very similar!

Looks a bit like the BMI front page with the big banner pictures behind the search box. This is fine if you have decent internet speed but I find that on a slow connection the pictures can take a while to load, unless they use a different process compared to the BMI site?

Personally I do also find them distracting, expecially if they are highly coloured or with lots of detail.

The page also now requires to scroll down further than with the old site but that’s only to access the more informational data, were as I tend to focus only on the booking activity

Overall looks more modern, but lets see how they transition the further pages as I think the current search and flight booking screens are one of the best of all the airlines

Not a bad start

I just hope that they revisit the redesigned avios availabilty page, which is tedious, unless you know exactly what you want already. It is of no value whatsoever if you are trying to find MFU flights, a great omission I believe

Looks a bit like the bmi one has for quite some time. Maybe they will adopt some of the service standards and take the opportunity to up their game as part of the takeover.

It’s a definite improvement, though I think I’ve found a bug. Trying to make a booking in November the calendar would not go past Oct 3rd. When I entered the date manually the calendar popped up again with dates from November onwards.
