11 Oct 18 Severe glitch prevents booking of flights see post #3318

Airports served by oneworld or BA partners that are not recognised on the Avios redemption search
AYQ, HID, KWL, RMQ, FTE, DAD, TSV

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

They just close down any conversation on the subject instantly via any support channel. I have complained to Al*x C**z.

BA web site (and app for that matter) horribly buggy at the moment:
- can't access my personal information (just returns to home page);
- can't list more than 3 upcoming bookings (ditto);
- can't get through to 'manage my booking' directly (ditto);
- when I circumvent the straightforward MMB (by going to another booking, then, manage other bookings) it hangs;
- all my API disappears from my bookings (frustrating on TATLs);
- app hangs on MMB.
... need I mention more?

Unable to manage my booking, was told the problem would be fixed 10 days ago. I just came home from another trip to discover I still can't manage my booking. Again, I am told my issue will be escalated, which is BS for "we can't help you."

Can anyone view their APIs once set? I thought this was a problem a while ago. (I guess it could have been, and not fixed... or fixed and then broken... or fixed, broken, fixed again and then broken again. Or... you get the idea!)

And how many times does this happen - type in the first few letters, select the destination from the supplied drop-down, and then it says 'we don't recognise that'!

I had been experiencing this problem too for some weeks, the problem appears fixed. Just tried now and when clicking the link all my current booking appear - the site appears much faster too,

Anyone else having issues with reward bookings on the BA site? Trying to book a trip via LHR and it asks about stopovers. I select 'No' and it keeps trying to force me to enter a stopover date. If I do or don't, it just takes me back to the select stopover dates.

Managed to log in at the 2nd attempt and ... yes, future bookings is working [for now]. Mac/Safari, BTW.

Still can't access our BA codeshare on AA, though.

'Update personal details' also now appears to be fixed. Only took them 4 weeks. Well done BA!

Can't book Qantas Business Class awards online, it keeps saying " Sorry, there’s a problem with booking this journey online. You can try selecting other flights or contact us so an agent can help you book the flights you have selected"

I can log in, but as soon as I try any other page I go to the dreaded "technical problem" page. It then also logs me out. In fact, if I go to any other page - say booking - it logs me out as well. Anybody else have this?

If it includes QantasLink or JetConnect flights within the itinerary, this is a known issue - you can book by calling up.

APIS still not working for me. Just tried entering details for a June TATL and all that remains when I go back in to check is the hotel address.

Then went into a July booking to add my Trusted Traveller number and now that's screwed, with the green tick gone and all passport details gone (I didn't touch them).

Flights are a while off thankfully.
