Airline criticised after female doctor said she could not use 'Dr' and 'woman' to book flight
British Airways has been criticised on social media after a viral tweet seemed to show their website not allowing the categories of ‘woman’ and ‘doctor’ to match. The tweet, sent out by Dr Jewel Kling, showed how she could not continue with her booking as the title ‘Dr’ she submitted did not match with being a woman - much to her surprise.
A spokeswoman for British Airways said: “We’re sorry for a technical issue that has occurred in one drop down box on our website and we're urgently investigating.”
