ABOUT THE CONCESSIONS

The concessions set out in the sections above are non-contractual and British Airways reserves the right to vary or terminate these concessions in its absolute discretion at any time - thismeans that the rules in force at the time of leaving will be subject to such policy changes as deemed necessary in the future.

Any unused staff travel tickets should be returned or refunded online as they’ll be invalid from your leaving date

Q&As:

•What am I eligible for in the first staff travel year after leaving?

The staff travel year runs from 1 April to 31 March. Any Annual Bookable Concessions (ABCs) taken in that staff travel year will be taken into account when you leave. For example:

A colleague has one ABC and one status concession as a current employee and leaves on 31 August after 17 years' service.

 

1. The colleague used their one ABC in May prior to leaving, but not their status concession

As a former employee the colleague is eligible for one ABC. After leaving, because the former colleague has already used their one ABC they have no further ABCs available for that staff travel year. One ABC will be available from the start of the following, and future, staff travel years whilst the former colleague remains eligible under the policy in place at the time. The colleague will not be eligible to the status concessions as status concessions cease on leaving.

 

1. The colleague used their one status concession in May prior to leaving, but not their one ABC.

As a former employee the colleague is eligible for one ABC. After leaving, because the former colleague has not used the one ABC they are eligible for, they will be able to use this as a former employee in the staff travel year in which they leave. Thereafter, one ABC will be available from the start of the following, and future, staff travel years whilst the former colleague remains eligible under the policy in place at the time. No further status concessions will be available as status concessions cease on leaving.

 

•What do I need to do to start booking rebate travel as a former employee?

After you’ve left, you’ll receive access to former staff travel concessions once the systems have updated. This can take up to three weeks, so you shouldn’t plan to travel on your former

staff concessions until you have access.

 

1. Arrange your former staff ID - People Services will have written to you to explain the application process for a former staff ID card. All passes must be returned before a former pass can be issued

2. After leaving – you may need to wait 10 – 14 days before your access from serving to former staff changes. Contact the IT Service Centre on 020 8562 4000 if you have log in issues.

3. Once your concessions are available. You can arrange staff travel via the ESS internet at https://my.baplc.com

No. Your eligibility for travel concessions is different once you’ve left. This means you’ll only be able to book travel as a former employee after you’ve left and have followed the steps

above.

​

•How do I change my nominees?

ABOUT THE CONCESSIONS

The concessions set out in the sections above are non-contractual and British Airways reserves the right to vary or terminate these concessions in its absolute discretion at any time - this means that the rules in force at the time of leaving will be subject to such policy changes as deemed necessary in the future. Any unused staff travel tickets should be returned or refunded online as they’ll be invalid from your leaving date

If you’re eligible for travel concessions as a former employee, you’ll continue to be responsible for ensuring that you and your eligible nominees are aware of and abide by the rules of the former staff travel scheme. Any misconduct either by you or your eligible nominees when using travel concessions will result in their immediate withdrawal.

 

Q&As:

•What am I eligible for in the first staff travel year after leaving?

The staff travel year runs from 1 April to 31 March. Any Annual Bookable Concessions (ABCs) taken in that staff travel year will be taken into account when you leave. For example:

A colleague has one ABC and one status concession as a current employee and leaves on 31 August after 17 years' service.

1. The colleague used their one ABC in May prior to leaving, but not their status concession As a former employee the colleague is eligible for one ABC.

After leaving, because the former colleague has already used their one ABC they have no further ABCs available for that staff travel year.

One ABC will be available from the start of the following, and future, staff travel years whilst the former colleague remains eligible under the policy in place at the time.

The colleague will not be eligible to the status concessions as status concessions cease on leaving.
