BA app not letting me sign in

Linus2864

I have been flying with BA quite a lot over the past year, and have found the app pretty useless, especially if I want to download my boarding pass after checking in.   I always get an error message telling me that the boarding pass cannot be downloaded, so I do as Doshwaster does.   

I normally download the pass as a pdf via their website, then send it to myself so I can upload it to Google Wallet;  I also print off a hard copy in case all else fails as I don't really trust the app.   

As regards flight updates, the Heathrow site or local airport sites are more informative than the BA app!

Hope it all works out for you and happy flying!

Yes, adding the downloaded PDF to Google Wallet (not sure if iPhones can do it) is a great hack. Really impressive how well it works. 

Of course, other airlines can add a BP to the wallet directly from the app but that is clearly beyond the capabilities of BA's IT department.
