~South Africa Traveller's review of British Airways customer service

GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's British Airways customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~South Africa Traveller: BA takes advantage of customers especially in areas where they dominate. I tried to call them for more than a month and all the time was unable to get to them through this * *-***-***-****. The system just says "Due to a huge call volume your call can not be completed. Try again later" and it disconnect you. At least the number from Get Human was able to place me in a queue although I held for a LONG LONG time. This is the worst I have experienced. Will not travel BA again!!
