3 Jun 18 ... "Print Boarding Pass" generates a blank field where the BP should be! Clicking "Print" generates, predictably, a blank sheet of paper!
Mac/Safari (EDIT, 3 Jun: Solution is to "Email BP", which initially shows blank as well, but the email contains the full BP.) Same again on 3 Sep 18, and same fix!

27 Nov ... Can not search for a flight on the updated BA.com website interface , after inputting all informations ( destinations , paxs and dates etc) it pretended to load and then just reverts back to the home page with all fields now cleared. iMac/Safari

Claiming missing avios pages not working [Link]

22 Sep 16, see Post 2005. Hotel Avios giving different results depending on which page you view. Mac/Safari.

6 October 16 Cannot pay by paypal when doing redemptions

.May 18. Login to BAEC generates error message (Mac/Safari) although works on 2nd attempt. Noted at >>> https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/brit...l#post29777401

About the vouchers: Ive been having this problem for days. And Twitter wasnt of much help except linking to their sales team (mind you im hearing impaired which makes phone calls in a foreign language very difficult). I finally found a workaround yesterday, selecting euro traveller, then enter the voucher and then choose to upgrade to club europe again.

Error seem to be on club flights only

Ba.com Aussie website sale currently offering day-trips SYD/LHR at only $1970: "Prices are based on a day trip, unless marked with an asterisk * indicating availability for a different number of nights."
Though it does add that on the new hypersonic service "seat availability at these prices might be limited."

if you just enter them in the search box and click search they should work - don't worry that they aren't auto-populating with the full name.

How many people are having problems booking online? I seem to only be able to book via the app. Online, I just get the 'Sorry...' error message. I posted about this previously, and someone else was having the same problem. It has been going on for weeks now.

Same here. It doesn't ask for a PIN anywhere, but when I go to change my password it says that the PIN (which I haven't entered) is incorrect - and to re-enter it, but where? And it doesn't update my password so I seem to be unable to update my password.

Update - I usually use Safari, where it asks for the current password (rather than a PIN) which didn't work AND I got the message about using the wrong PIN despite not using a PIN (as above). Tried it in Chrome, where it asks for a PIN, but doesn't work with a PIN but DOES work with the old password! Password finally changed.

Incidentally, when I did it in Chrome, it logged in to the old style website (which for some reason was set to Japan) which was where I was successful, so maybe try it setting Japan?

And how annoying is that check of birthdate which tells you off after you enter the first bit of information.

No old-style site for me. None of the browsers work. So weird!

Checked in this morning. We can print my boarding pass but not my wife’s. Have tried different browsers etc, it’s getting ridiculous.

Have a read of this which may help.

Where are you travelling to if I may ask? If it's the USA then it could be point 14, possibly but there could be a number of reasons.
