British Airways is struggling with a major computer system failure as passengers at airports around the world complain of delays and long lines.
"Our IT teams are working as hard as they can to quickly fix a problem with our check-in system," the airline said in a statement. "We're sorry for the delays some customers are experiencing as they check-in for their flights."
The company's official Twitter account fielded a barrage of complaints from travelers at airports including Atlanta, Chicago and Boston late Monday. Others reported problems in the Bahamas and Mexico.
As Tuesday morning arrived in Europe, customers there also began to flag issues.
Passengers in the U.S. said airline representatives had told them the system failure had been going on for hours and was worldwide.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more...

It's not a 'glitch' it's a total system failure. Wallies.You know what uranium is, right? It's this thing called nuclear weapons. And other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium. Including some bad things.

Well, we travelled to Denver yesterday via BA from Heathrow, and had a four hour delay due to "technical difficulties" which was a nuisance but so glad we weren't travelling today.0
