Less than 2 hour turn around not allowed.

Hi all,

trying to book a TP flight LON-EDI but ba.com won't allow me to book anything with a turn around of less than 2 hours (and I could swear it has allowed it in the past) anyone know a way round this?

there seems to be two interfaces for booking - one is the poncy new "touch device" interface and the other is the old mouse type interface. the old one seems to allow less than 2 hours, but I can't figure out how to get to that interface!

cheers

You need to call to book. Alternatively some OTAs will allow you to book it.

Try this to see whether it works: https://www.britishairways.com/trave..._gb?source=cys

Book two one-ways.
Although you lose the protection, if you are doing back to back, you are pretty safe at Edinburgh. The cost for two singles is often the same as a return.

thanks all.

Ended up going for LHR-EDI-LHR , 1640 out CE and 2035 return TP, gets me the 45TP I need to retain silver for £114 + 10k avios. Not the cheapest TP I'm sure, but gets me what I needed

cheers
