@gbp_croppers63, I tried find TXL-LHR using A3 on Expedia as you mentioned (trying both same day and next day return), but it does not list A3 as one of the options. Is there a trick involved? I have tried other sites such as Kayak and Skyscanner and not been able to get A3 as an option. Aegean's own site does not let me choose LHR as a destination when the origin is TXL.
Related to this, are there any sites that allow you to specify the Airline first and then the origin-destination no matter how "weird" an itinerary? E.g. I specify that I want to fly on EK from FRA to MUC return so I get FRA-DXB-MUC-DXB-FRA.
Thanks,

Firstly, a very warm welcome! Hope you find this place helpful and interesting (and not too addictive!).
To answer your question, I went to Expedia, put in my route/dates (that I'd already found on ITA Matrix) and selected A3 as my preferred airline in the dropdown. It worked perfectly and quoted me a lower price than ITA Matrix. That said, I have just tested it out for a random date in February and it doesn't seem to work this way any more.
I also thought you could try the multicity option and put in TXL-ATH-LHR-ATH-TXL with the relevant dates but I just tried this too and I'm getting an error message here as well.
I'm not really sure what to recommend in that case.
Maybe try a different OTA and use the methods I mentioned above, or wait a few days and see if it comes back on Expedia as it may just be a bug.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Edit: sokolov beat me to it. Try the Hipmunk suggestion.
