You would think a business having customers trying to give them money might consider that a good thing rather than a bother to be dealt with.
I wonder if there's a marked increase in phone volume due to ba.com failures; anecdotally, from posts here, it seems like it is increasingly unable to make even the simple bookings.

This works with many companies and I've never tried it with BA, but from looking at their feed, they seem to have more of a marketing twitter feed with anyone requesting ticketing help being asked to use ba.com or phone in. Do let us know if you try that route though.
