British Airways computer systems have crashed across the world, sparking chaos at airports with massive queues.

Hundreds of fliers are stuck in 'huge' check-in lines and parts of BA's website and app are not working - which is causing passengers trying to check-in online to miss their flights.

Several passengers reported that the captain and gate staff at Gatwick Airport said the airline could be under a cyber attack.

Furious fliers in the UK, the US, Rome, Belfast and Lisbon among other locations vented that they have been stuck on their plane for more than two hours.

They spoke of 'disgraceful' customer service as staff gave out 'no information', while others said it was 'carnage' at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 and warned travellers to stay away.

The airline said it was 'experiencing a global system outage' and added it was 'working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible'.

I just flew from Las Vegas back to Oakland California , and it was a dream.

No hastle. I didn't vote for Trump, but air travel in America is nice.
