Passengers may still wear the glasses, but recording staff without consent can lead BA to refuse remaining flights, including a return.

British Airways is tightening filming rules against passengers using Meta smart glasses to secretly record employees and other travelers, according to Paddle Your Own Kanoo. Wearing the glasses is still allowed. Conditions of carriage already let BA stop filming, livestreaming, or photographing crew without consent, refuse remaining ticket sectors, and report possible criminal offenses. The quoted conditions do not name Meta glasses.

Unconfirmed: PYOK claims a device-specific update, while the quoted carriage conditions do not name Meta glasses.

Key facts
  • Livestreaming employees without permission is also prohibited.
  • BA can remove a passenger after landing and refuse an already booked return.
  • Violating the filming policy is not, by itself, a crime.
  • Earlier rules already barred photographing BA employees without consent.
