Interesting. I had just gotten off the phone 2 minutes earlier dealing with a flight rebooking and the computers were up then. It was only when I tried to do OLCI that I got the messages. Now I'm hoping that my change actually went through before the meltdown.

Customer alert: united.com

I have been experiencing problems with the .bomb site for the past 15 minutes. This is the warning they just issued a few minutes ago.

We’re sorry.

You may be experiencing a small delay while:

* Purchasing or searching for fares on united.com
* Viewing your Mileage Plus summary
* Accessing EasyCheck-inOnline


We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

Not sure this is limited to United. ExpertFlyer is having the same issues. Some 3rd party provider/database must be impacted.

That's all the 1K site says.

Still not available. It's truly astonishing at how horrible the backend systems of this airline is. Horrible IT/web, Horrible ICC center, just amazing.

It's fine to "penny pinch" on certain things but to not have a website working as often as this one doesn't and it being YEARS with the same problems. Just a poor way to run a business. I called the 1K desk and was on hold for over 5 minutes before an agent came on and it was the ICC. This is the 3rd time in 2 weeks I've received the ICC while calling the 1K desk. United really does need to get it together. They always have an excuse and to not have their website running for quite awhile now just seems that it is a real loss of revenue. Put the $ in some INFRASTRUCTURE United.

Listen to your CUSTOMERS!!!!

Interesting.

Both .bomb and 1Kall down at the same time. Perhaps this is a WAN issue that took both out.

I suspect it was just increased call volume because of the website refusing to take peoples money or process upgrades or seat assignments.

I just called CS since OLCI said I didn't have an e-ticket - most likely due to my cancellation/rebooking and indeed I was on THREE flights, the xld flight hadn't cleared out, and I was "protected" on 2 other flights, even though the first CS person I dealt with earlier said I had been rebooked. She got all that straightened out but she said that the system was currently going up and down and that she had to repeat a lot of transactions to get them to go through. Sounds like they're not out of the woods yet.
