London’s Gatwick Airport confirmed it began experiencing issues “early this morning” which were affecting “some airlines’ check-in systems, baggage and security, including eGates.”
“We are using our backup process, but some passengers may experience delays while checking in and passing through security. Passengers should still arrive for their normal check-in time, which is typically two hours ahead of the flight time for short-haul, and three hours for long-haul,” the airport said in a statement.
Australia’s Qantas said its flights were still operating with some delays.
Air New Zealand said it was dealing with a high number of customer calls and advised people to only contact customer service agents if they were due to fly within the next 48 hours. It said some customers would be experiencing payment issues, if they are customers of impacted banks.
Cathay Pacific said at 2:45 p.m. Hong Kong time (2:45 a.m. ET) that self-service check-in facilities at Hong Kong International Airport were not working.
“We ask all customers to check in online via our website or mobile app and obtain their mobile boarding pass before coming to the airport,” the airline said. It also advised that its flight booking service is currently unavailable.

-McCarthy was Trump’s pick for Speaker
-McCarthy is one of GOP’s best fundraisers
-McCarthy and Trump worked together to retake the House in 2022
-McCarthy, so far, had delivered on oversight, whistleblowers, impeachment inquiry and a number of other promises. (Though not all)
Considering these facts, it’s no surprise that Dems joined with Gaetz to take McCarthy out. The incentives were in their favor, which should give Republicans and MAGA cause for circumspection here.
And while folks are celebrating this “win” as if it helps MAGA, the Dems are celebrating that the House, oversight and impeachment are at a stand still and the GOP is fractured, effectively dysfunctional.
Best case scenario is that this, McCarthy as Speaker, turns out to be a “Scaramucci model”, a “temp hire by design”.
That’s what I am hoping for, though I don’t see how that develops from this point forward.
You're very strong. God bless.
No money though :/
Not sure; but a lot of p*rn addiction?
Our boas makes it known that she doesn't like my coworker and has encouraged her to almost quit numerous times.
She's aware of that but has no money, and he pays for the car. The house is in both their names and the job she works at is 2 hours away from her hone.
She has a cousin in SF, but that's hours away
Right. Shes tight on money; hence the job hunting.
I don't have a couch. I share an apt. with 5 other people
Yeah, I'm trying to go help as much as I can. I don't know much. I'm a student
She's looking at other jobs. She's applying
Anyone think Q will come back again? And how soon?
