indeed my problem is at the booking stage.

another one: now your default log in screen doesn't seem to offer avoid booking or cash and upgrade: you need extra stages to do that. Because frequent flyer members typically don't want/need to use their avions, right?

awful awful awful!

So many extra (and unnecessary) clicks to search for fares.

I thought the VS redo was bad but this is worse!

Now this is kind of stupid.

When I go to MMB and want to change my special meal requests, it wouldn't show which meal I've selected before "for privacy reasons".

Really?

Of course it does. But it is not user friendly to either have to use a second app/website or reselect the choice. What's that with "privacy issues" on my booking?! That doesn't make sense at all.

That has always been the case.

Alright, fair enough. I don't recall it though.

What is the reason for it?

I'm trying to select seats for a sector that is booked on IB but operated by BA. The flight is showing in MMB but I do not get the option of seeing or changing my seat. I'm not sure if this is down to new design or simply something that has always been the case with tickets booked with other airlines- I guess I can always try and log on via IB.com. Don't recall encountering this before....

Word of advice; never ever book anything through IB or fly IB. In fact, avoid IB at all costs. It is a scam.

I'll take the IB A340 on LHR-MAD over anything BA offers (including the silly o'clock 777).

Can anyone please tell me where to find the ticket number in the new MMB?

Trying to work out why a booking through my work travel agent isnt appearing in my account, even though the receipt from the travel agent and MyFlights App both show my FF number and the ticket number (wondering if it's a ticketing issue maybe). I cant find the ticket number in any of my bookings on ba.com

I've tried adding it to my account on both ba.com & the app, and it appears to be successful, but never appears.

It never did show in BA.com MMB, but it should show on the BA App, both Android and iOS, under More Flight Details.

Alternatively it may show here, under the e-ticket tab:

https://classic.checkmytrip.com/plne...&SITE=XCMTXXNS

And you may also find it at the top left of Finnair's equivalent to MMB.

brilliant, thanks. I never twigged that the ticket number wasn't in ba.com MMB until I needed it.
