How to get a British Airways email price quote for UK visa application- A step-by-step Guide

Updated: March 3, 2021 4 Comments

British Airways Email Price Quote

British Airways offers emailing a price quote for any of their flights. It’s a free service and a price quote for the flight is sent to your email. You can print this email and use it as a flight itinerary for your UK visa application. 

Keep in mind that a flight itinerary is not required for UK visa applications for most nationalities. But for some nationalities, a flight itinerary is still required and British Airways email price quote is a quick and inexpensive option. 

I have used a British Airways email price quote for my UK visa application. Many readers have used it for their UK visa applications as well.

    Hi, is it ok if I use a flight itinerary service website to get the Itinerary? They have even options to book hotels as well.

      Hi Raashid! Yes, absolutely. Flight itinerary websites are even better. Their flight itineraries come with a PNR number and valid for up to 2 weeks. So go for it.

    I emailed the quote via British Airways but in the email, it’s showing as ‘the flight mat not be available for this price for long’. Doesn’t it reflect that we have not booked the flight yet? Another thing I wanted to ask. Can we book the hotel too in this way?

      Hi Himanshu! Consulates themselves do not recommend buying flight tickets before getting the visa. Therefore, holding a flight ticket or in the case of UK visa, a price quote is enough. You cannot book a hotel this way. But you can find a ton of “refundable” and “pay at the hotel” options on hotel booking websites such as Booking.com or Expedia. You can book one of those hotels and cancel them after getting your visa.
