Another customer tweeted a letter they received from Cathay Pacific airlines, saying the computer check-in system was affected due to a current outage map for Verizon.
A map on downdetector.com shows that as of 10 p.m., many customers were experiencing problems with their Verizon service.
There is no word on when computers will be back up and running properly again, but Verizon says they are investigating.
