No thoughts or advice but I’m also getting “Sorry, we are unable to process your request. Please contact your local British Airways office.” so I’m interested in any answers you may receive.

This is exactly what happened to us when we received the new service to SJC. I called You First who could not help or offer an explanation. It maybe something else up with your flight, but the pattern of what has happened is the same as we saw.

I phoned earlier this evening and they were able to make my selections for me (but couldn’t offer any insight as to why I had been unable to).

Ps: I wouldn't recommend the beef, no, but then I like my beef rare and admit I wouldn't feel comfortable giving very specific instructions to crew about how to reheat the meals. I'm tempted by the rack of lamb despite it likely being overcooked too!!
