Is it just me or is the VS website getting slower and slower over the last fews days [:?]

It's just taken ages to log into my FC account and search for a flight.

I was using it 10mins ago looking for reward flights and no probs at all here.

Personally I agree with James - I have found it to be VERY slow and am unable to check-in online even if I finally get through - takes ages though.

It seems to come and go. It's currently really struggling to bring up any of my bookings.

James, I'm with you on this one.
Checked the seat map for my flight next week and it took over a minute to download the map. I also had a look at flight times for the VS19/20 over the past couple of days. These pages also seemed to take far longer than usual.

I agree - slow at times - could this be a DoS attack?
It does seem coincidental with the attack on V-Flyer

Well those are two completely different types of attack, I think. DoS attacks bombard a website with visits to shut it down and the attack V-Flyer had injected code that would bring users to a website containing viruses. The former is used to attack a company and the latter just to spread viruses, so not really related. But this doesn't seem like a DoS attack, it's working fine for me.

I agree with James. Slow to check my FC account and can't buy a flight.

EASY SOLUTION: Call the free phone numbers. Flood them with calls and say the website is broken as you would rather look up the info on VS.com
