Is it normal? Or I have to call to book (already after hours so have to try tomorrow)?

Thanks!

ba.com will not display availability for anything more than the first seven (or nine, I can't remember which) flights. Any flights later in the day require you to call to book. This is a long-standing problem.

When you call you need to tell them that ba.com is not working correctly and you should be able to get the telephone fee waived.

You can also call any BAEC service centre that is open in the world to book.
