British Airways offers emailing a price quote for your desired route. British Airways flight quote email is a free service and a price quote for the flight is sent to your email. The email includes details such as the flights, fares and the passenger names.
IMPORTANT
As of May 2023, British Airways has discontinued the email price quote feature. We are not certain if this is temporary. We will update the article when this feature is back on BA website.

Srinivas Rao says
Dear sir, I have to apply for UK Transit visa. Is the British Airways email quote strong enough to prove my onward journey to the destination country. Please suggest.
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Srinivas Rao! No. The British Airways email price quote will not work for a UK transit visa. You would need a confirmed flight ticket. Or in the least, a confirmed booking from a travel agent.
raashid says
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.
Thirumal says
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.
Himanshu bansal says
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?
Thirumal says
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.
