More like early Alpha given my experience tonight. Multiple failures to complete a booking payment from hold, needed repeated attempts to allocate seating, no change emails, failed payment transaction resulting in hanging authorisation or perhaps even double charge.

IE 11 page performance is dismal and page load is clearly impacted by all the marketing panels (MMB repeatedly refocus's to the car hire panel etc).

Took an hour to perform the simple action of confirming a held booking and tomorrow more time to get the failed transaction reversed.

Way too much scripted content on pages and looks to be at least two analytics are being used.
