I tried to make a booking this morning, this afternoon and this evening - it really is shocking and indeed as noted above, how much does it cost them?! It's insane from a business point of view. How can they allow that to happen.

Iberia is still working fine, so I'm able to check-in for the flights that they're running for me tomorrow. If only BA had merged their IT with iberia, they might not be in such a bad spot.

I assume the BA flights will be ok, will check in Madrid tomorrow.

Or they would, and so would Iberia be!

If you pour a cup of hot water into a bath full of cold water, the bath stays cold

Though not quite as cold as it was.

This is what I'm getting in the app this afternoon:

I think the variety of font sizes and inconsistent punctuation might irritate me more than the fact that I can't check in.

only getting a blank page at the moment - with a web address of "https://www.britishairways.com/temp_outage.html"
(Pity, I was going to book some flights with some serious $$$... looks like I'll have to book elsewhere...)

Must be down again, had a cancellation inside the airport and couldn't access MMB. Decided to avoid faffing around and got through on the phones pretty quickly but the agent confirmed they're having issues with the website

Why does BA make it so hard for customers? They must be losing a considerable amount of bookings as people give up.
Google flights does not have all of BA availability on it.

Am trying to check in for a flight tomorrow and getting an odd message “Access to this booking has now been prohibited due to too many unsuccessful attempts. Please check your travel details are correct and retry in 24 hours.”

I tried from my wife’s account and she is also getting the same error?

Just managed to book a reward flight, but can't change seats. I am now trying to log in to a different BAEC account to book the inbound and I can't log in!

I just tried to Manage My Booking from a laptop and after a minute or so the page went blank (just a white web page), has someone pulled a plug out again 🤔
