Join the British Airways Data Breach compensation action.

You can join the British Airways data breach compensation action if you’ve been affected by the recent cyber-attack that has hit 380,000 people across the world.

Both UK and foreign citizens can be eligible to join our group.

If you made a booking, or made a paid change to a booking, between 10.58pm on 21st August 2018 and 9:45pm on 5th September 2018, your payment card information may have been stolen.

British Airways announced in October that customers who made a reward booking between 21st April 2018 and 28th July 2018 may also be affected.

British Airways should already have contacted you to confirm that you’re a victim of the data breach. If you’re not sure, you may have been affected if:

  • You made or changed a booking during the breach periods referenced above;
  • You paid directly through the British Airways site (i.e. you did NOT use Apple Pay or pay a Travel Agent as part of a package).

PayPal customers: British Airways say your card information has not been compromised, but your personal information may have still been exposed (meaning you can still claim).

If you used Apple Pay and/or a Travel Agent, you may still have been affected if you then paid for anything additional through British Airways directly, such as an in-flight meal or a seat reservation.

As this is a recent scandal, we will monitor this criterion for any changes.
