BA online booking fails to complete

[Maurice]

Anyone know what might be preventing completion of BA booking?

Been trying all morning to book flights; get all way to Payment stage,
proceeds to CC company payment validation, then immediately puts up a
screen with:

- 3 small pictures in middle
- The text: "We put security first, online and in ghe air. Thank you
for waiting"
- A whirling asterisk-like icon

then nothing happens, for at least 30 minutes! No confirmation of
booking,
although they did send an email providing link to the booking to help try
again.

Tried several times.

Telephone call to Help numbers give recorded message saying "Our system
is busy..."

Any advice on how to to complete the booking would be very welcome..

(Try middle of night, perhaps?) :-)

P.S. So after lunch I tried with a different browser - and it worked 1st
time!

However, I shall never know whether or not it would also have worked
then with the first browser...
