Just what BA need - some more good PR!

I suspect that BA is probably quite happy that United are currently filling the quota of "news about airlines" at the moment

Dear Mr O'Leary,

I had guessed that you probably where lurking on this forum, so I have been waiting for you to give yourself away.

Finally, today you've done so.

Tell me they are going to make it possible to book an award flight on AA with Avios! I was trying to do that last week and kept getting error messages.

True, but some people looking on comparison sites may find better deals, so never buy a BA ticket.

They just made an announcement about it in Galleries South. As it's also taken out the lounge wifi landing page, a few people seemed to be querying whether the wifi was working at all - seems OK to me!

'Fraid not, just tried to do OLCI on my iPhone and got the same message posted upthread.
Doing LBA/LHR/JNB tomorrow in J, at least if I have to check in at the airport then it will still be several hours before those on a direct flight.

App looks like it will work for flight booking but after selecting flights it returns an error and won't get pricing.

Unless this is something external like a huge DDoS attack this is pretty incredible. Surely a company like they have a backup site and redirects ready to go?
