BA flight 165 is returning to Heathrow
BA will introduce a new group boarding system on all its flights on December 12.
From then, passengers will be assigned a group numbered between one and five when they check in. The priority group; group one, will be given to First Class passengers and Gold members of the BA Executive Club. Groups four and five will be the lowest tier economy passengers, with the latter reserved for those buying the cheapest hand luggage-only fares, who will board last.
