I have been getting this message for almost two weeks when checking for MFU availability. No one at BA can fix it.

So, here is the way around the problem:

1 - Set up a household account
2 - Add a fictional person to your account
3 - Check that fictional person's box when doing a search (leave your box unchecked)
4 - Find the flight you want
5 - Call BA directly, explain your problem with the website and they will make the booking in your name and waive the fee for calling them

I can search for MFU's with anyone in my household account except me.

I've seen this as well. It normally comes up the 2nd time you try and do a search for MFU. I find I always have to log out (never use that useless "remember me" function) and log back in. Then all is good for a search, or maybe two before the error appears again.
