Searching by departure Times
Hi,
Apologies if this has been posted before, but I couldn't find it in a search.
Is there any way of searching for BA flights by departure time? I'm trying to book a weekend away but the flight timings are more important than the destination so we can take advantage of not having to take a Friday or Monday off work. Is there anyway of searching for a Friday night departure (from London) and Monday morning arrival?
Many thanks in advance.

The "Explore map" on Google Flights will let you enter dates and time ranges. This will show you a map of the world complete with prices - it's what I use when looking for weekend getaways.
You can also select an alliance of your choice (although not an individual airline).

If it's in the near future, then the BA's Information/Flight Status/Airport may help:

You can search by hourly chunk. Berlin, Geneva and above all Hannover are possibly among the answers.

If you have a short-ish list of destinations, you can do a search on matrix.itasoftware.com in the following format:
From: LON ::BA
To (for example): LIS,OPO,FAO,AGP,ALC,MAD,GIB,BCN,BIO,IBZ,MEN,PMI :: BA
You can then filter the results by departure/arrival times.
If you wait until tomorrow, being a Friday (assuming you want to travel over in the summer season), you can pull up tomorrow's late departures to build your shortlist by filtering by time on the Route tab here http://www.britishairways.com/rtad/travel/public/en_gb

You can restrict it to a specific airline/airport/time slot.
The LHR website used to be the best at this until their daft website refresh.
