Well, what a shocker. I'm checking in for my flight on British Airways tomorrow, and once again, I must enter my passport details. If only there were some form of technology that could save this information. Has nobody at BA ever heard of a database? 🤔



I can only assume the British Airways IT systems were developed by an intern. For example, when I enter my date of birth, I get a warning message that the date is incomplete as soon as I enter the day. No shit, how can I enter three values simultaneously?

WTAF? According to the British Airways chatbot on X, which seems to be stuck four years ago, you need to provide proof of vaccination. This requirement was dropped two years ago. The usual problem with AI: GIGO.





What the? Hey Brother UK, how can the status monitor for my printer require over 200GB of memory??? Truly, the mother of all memory leaks!


The new website look for British Airways is so good, I can't even login using Google Chrome (it just loops me back to the home page without asking for credentials). Just how bad can their IT systems get?



Hey, Nationwide, why do you bury verification messages under settings -> security? These are *not* settings, but messages. Under the 'help' section, it says verification messages can be accessed from the menu in the app. This is not helpful, or useful.
