BA flight search woes

[Tony5896]

Im sure its been answered but I’m turning up a blank ..

Trying to look at flights from BA on their webpage

If I put the start point as LHR-RHO I get get a direct flight leaving in the evening.
If I put the start point and MAN on the same day I get 2 connections MAN-LHR-ATH-RHO

It won’t give me MAN-LHR-RHO Even with the availability of several flight from MAN-LHR

Is there anyway to get the most direct flights on the webpage or is it a case of looking at individual legs with a decent amount of transfer time ?

What dates? And is it definitely Heathrow as almost all the Rhodes flights leave from Gatwick. These come up even when you ask for Heathrow.

But you could force it with a multi city search.

Definitely LHR 15 May 2025 .. departs 13:10 ( I read arrival time as departure )
Still the 07:00, 07:50,09:50 should give me plenty of time for a 13:10 connection ?

Multi City and one way gives me the results I want ..

Thank you.

Weird – it’s showing me connecting flights on the 9:05 and 10:50 MAN-LHR-RHO no worries.

Try a different device, clearing cookies, swearing, throwing your computer out the window.

In theory you don’t need a long connection time in and out of T5, however things can go very wrong at MAN and I would leave 2 departures between your MAN and RHO flights to give yourself plenty of wiggle room.

On the app I’m getting MAN departures at 09.05 and 10.50 connecting to the RHO flight.

I’m also getting the same ex MAN times but connecting via ATH thence RHO

I did a dummy avios booking and it actually gave me more ex MAN flight options.

I was only searching for one adult though and one way only.

Using google flights it’s giving me 4 ex MANs. Didn’t check the BA Hols options.

But If multi city is giving the extra options you want then book via that.

I suspect it’s my work laptop, my tablet seems to get the right information.

Good to know about things going wrong at Manchester, it’s been a while since I did any serious travel and still have rose tinted glasses
