British Airways: Filming Crew W Meta Glasses Could Get Your Tickets Cancelled

British Airways’ conditions of carriage prohibit passengers from filming, livestreaming, or photographing BA crew and other employees without consent. The airline can intervene to stop unauthorized recording onboard and, after landing, remove a passenger and refuse transportation on the remaining sectors of the ticket, potentially including a booked return flight. Its conditions also allow it to report incidents to authorities when a criminal offense may have occurred, although violating an airline filming policy alone is not necessarily a crime. Paddle Your Own Kanoo reported that British Airways has updated its rules to address covert filming through Meta AI smart glasses at airports and on aircraft. The glasses themselves are not prohibited, but their built-in cameras do not exempt users from the airline’s restrictions on recording employees without permission. British Airways’ conditions do not specifically name Meta glasses in the cited provisions, but existing language covers unauthorized recording regardless of device. The policy follows restrictions introduced earlier in the year against photographing, filming, or livestreaming BA employees without consent. Recording rules may also be affected by laws governing a particular journey, including in the European Union.
