Yes, I have tried on the app and on three computers/ different browsers. Just keeps crashing and then saying no flights available when I know there are ☹️. Do you know when your site will be working so I can try again and I can see it seems lots of people are having issues?

Trying to manage booking for tomorrow midday and site says too busy to deal with managing the booking. Not helpful. Are we supposed to stay in a hotel room all day trying to manage the booking. Took 5 hours to book the holiday and looks like it may take the same to get home.?

Hi
@British_Airways, I’m trying to book and enter a voucher I was given by a friend and the voucher button fails. When I try to make the booking the page stalls. A call to customer service hangs up without connecting me.

Any chance I could speak to someone to make my booking?
