See the Tools forum for details on how to do this.
But I have to disagree about no recent improvements. Compared to a month ago the server capacity seems much better in the last couple of weeks. Bookings seem to go through now first time, which they didn't during busy times in February.
Indeed, maybe a few years late but there are significant improvements coming which are as everyone knows are overdue especially when it comes to it's website.

- Multi-million-pound leading-edge technology systems, AI and machine learning will help flights depart on time, along with 350 new jobs at Heathrow and the first ever bespoke Microsoft Connected Teams ground-to-air customer care solution
- The BA network continues to grow, with two of the airline’s most popular Asia destinations to return from October and November
