BA Online Check In for connecting flight

The search facility isn't working so not sure if this has been posted previously.

I am flying to USA from Manchester via LHR and trying to find out if when I check in online, the system allows me to choose my seats on the flight from LHR?

The BA website doesn't help.

BA allow check in (and seat selection) 24 hours prior to departure for standard passengers (such as I). You can pay to select the seat beforehand if that's important to you.

Yes thanks I am aware of that, but specifically would like to know if at the time of check in it will let us book seats on both flights not just the Manchester to Heathrow leg.

Oh okay. In that case I don't have an answer for you.

If you check in for your connecting flight 24 hours before it departs, you can also check in for your long haul flight at the same time. This means you can check in 3 or 4 hours earlier than those just flying from Heathrow and should have a better chance of getting the seats you want.

I had a different situation last year. I had a flight SIN-SYD-AKL but it wouldn't let me select a seat for the leg to Auckland as it was a code share operated by QANTAS. As I presented my boarding pass in Sydney the screen gave an error along the lines of "Not permitted to board". Just to make sure I was worrying enough it was in red. The crew member didn't bat an eyelid, asked me if I'd booked with BA and just smiled and told me that it always does that.

I've had that often with different air;lines but not with BA all the way
