Paying with Paypal @ BA

[jesuslovesyou]

Hi everyone,

Just looking at B.A and you can pay with Paypal
I use a friends paypal for various reasons and was wondering if this would be ok to pay with? Also do you think its 'safe' to buy maybe 2 tickets at a time ? ie 2 this month, 2 the next,1 the next ? I know prices go up in that time sometimes but it wouldn't matter if we had different booking numbers for just the flight would it?

I don't know BA's specific rules but usually as long as you know the username & password for the account you can use it.

My partner and I use the same account and have had no issues with the name not matching.

As to buying in small blocks, it depends on whether you want to sit together.

Buying in bits like that could increase the chance of you having to sit in different parts of the plane, but more importantly, if it's a busy time of year you could find that they are sold out by the time you go to buy the last seat!

Personally, whether using Paypal or not I wait till all the money (except spending) is in before booking anything then do it all in a single day of holiday booking ecstasy!

My only concern would be no Section 75 protection paying by Paypal.
BA is a solid company but I still like to pay for flights with Credit card.

Don't see the benefit myself in using Paypal

You have to have the money in PayPal or be able to fund it so just draw the money to your bank and pay on a credit card.

Personally, I would buy all the tickets at once so you get the best chance of sitting together.
