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

I'm having difficulty changing my password. Has anyone else had this?
When I try to do so, it asks for the old style PIN from a few years ago. I put that in (rather than my usual login password) and then type in a new one. However, every time I get an error message. I've tried it a few times on different days and in different browsers. Has anyone got a fix, or do I just need to call?

Have you tried ignoring the request for the old PIN and just using your current password?

Credit card fees
I have just paid the balance on a holiday booking using a personal credit card. I selected the 'personal Amex' from the drop down menu for card type but I have been charged a 1% card fee for the transaction. I had a similar issue when making payment for a deposit a month ago (and had the fee refunded). Has anyone else had this problem?

I cannot use Firefox for a booking for the BA sale. I type in "Syd" and that is as far as the website will go. I can't even enter the dates.

Working OK for me. Firefox (Nightly, v63) on MacOS. Usually if Firefox really messes up, a workaround is to restart it in safe mode. Failing that, try in a brand new profile in case add-ons are messing it up. I find some ad blockers kill more than they should on sites like BA.

For the last 24h I have been kicked back to the old BETA version of the BA website. Anyone know of any current glitches? Also very slow.

Oh, joy, it’s doing it again. Try to PYOBP and all I get is a blank page. Reported to @british_Airways on Twitter, who say they will pass it on the the Techies.
Sme fix as last time, in June (see Wiki) ... Email the BP [presented as a blank page] and it shows up fine on the e-mail. Screenshot, trim and print. Simples? Not with BA!

Avios Upgrade Offered, System won't process
Happens in chrome and firefox browser. Tried multiple times today. This seems to happen every time I try to upgrade using avios online. Also paid upgrades never seem to process, you get as far as entering credit card details and it fails after that.
Anyone else?

I wasn‘t able to book BA Holidays (fligh+car) last night because thr car return time kept resetting to early AM (first flight option) even though I selected a later flight and obviously wanted to return the car later.
I gave up and called to book.
