It seems they have switched to the new design for me at least. As of yesterday, the new design was automatically loaded without the pop-up option (that had been there for months) to opt in or out of the new design.

I was fooled by the 'my other bookings' tab as the visible window (laptop/Firefox) prompts me to enter booking reference and surname (the only thing immediately visible)- I had been going to and fro to my exec club page to click through each booking - just realised that I can scroll past the huge 'enter booking reference' and my other bookings are listed below.
I know I am not the best at 'IT' but I am far from the worst- surely the logical order would be 'my other bookings' first on the similarly named tab.

I was under the impression this had been under beta testing for months? Surely, with the amount of users and traffic, they should have reached a conclusion on the beta and now rolling it out officially...

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.

You are not alone - I was also caught out by this! Is it really also the case that there isn't a "Exit this booking" link anymore (to take you back to the "My Executive Club" page), or am I somehow missing seeing this as well? (running Firefox and Chrome on Windows8).

As I noted elsewhere a week or so ago, "Print Itinerary" and "Print eTicket" involves a ludicrous number of pages. And, as noted here, the fashionable pale grey font is barely visible when printed.
OK, I'm a luddite for wanting to print stuff, and I know I need to replace my laser printer, but the pagination is utterly ridiculous.

Likewise, this is a pain.
