New timetable function on ba.com
The clunky old timetable has been replaced with with new screens that look a lot more like the new ba.com. There is also a book button next to each flight that takes you straight through to a populated version of the booking screen.
Very exciting.

Ooh, I'll have to try that. I saw the new format but haven't had time to play with the buttons yet.
[Edited to add:]
Some problems and bugs lurking in there.
The population of the bookings page fields is simply the dates you originally entered for the timetable display, so the multiplicity of "Book" buttons is really a little misleading because they all do exactly the same thing, irrespective of which line you've clicked on.
It would be nice if you could click the date at the head of the column to at least change the dates you want before you then go to book.
Also, a random week for Berlin shows an interesting timetable: 4 flights a day out, 5 flights a day back, all week. I didn't know they manufactured Airbuses at Tegel, or at that fast a rate.

Here's what I've found:-
Searching flights LON to BER, I get 988 on Sun 30 only.
Searching flights LHR to BER, I get 988 all days except Sun 30.
I can't tell you how much I'm laughing at the moment.
