The official website for Delta Air Lines suffered from technical issues that prevented certain passengers from purchasing tickets on Thursday. 

One passenger complained that the website wouldn't let her select seats or complete the purchase of tickets, while another said that the site wouldn't allow her to enter her credit-card information. 

According to accounts from various Delta customers, several important icons on the website's purchase page were nonresponsive. This has led to a series of customer complaints on the airline's Twitter page.

Delta's social media representatives apologized to customers and offered to help them book tickets directly. 

The cause of the website glitch remains unknown.

"Delta is addressing an issue that select customers have been encountering when attempting to purchase a ticket on Delta.com," an airline spokeswoman told Business Insider. "We apologize for any inconvenience and suggest customers use the Fly Delta app where full booking functionality is available."

Business Insider was not able to replicate the issues experienced by the passengers. We attempted to book tickets by going directly through Delta's website and via third-party portals using two different browsers.
