Security and insurance surcharge British Airways has introduced a passenger surcharge on all flights to help recoup some of the costs of additional security and insurance measures which have been taken, in line with government guidelines, since 11 September 2001. The airline joins more than 124 airlines worldwide who have introduced a security and insurance surcharge since the US attacks. The surcharge applies, as detailed below, to all tickets issued from 9 November 2001. It applies to all passengers, including children and infants, on both international and domestic flights. Additional measures that have been introduced since 11 September include extra baggage searches, increased security around aircraft while on the ground and reinforced cockpit doors.
