Does anyone know if "summer 2017" for LCY and STN routes starts at the beginning of the IATA Summer season (IIRC 26 March 2017) or will it actually be what people associate with summer (e.g. June or July), or some random date between those?

To be fair, he was probably correct, but probably didn't expect to be driving it.

Hopefully at least with BOB there will be adequate stock.
Yesterday afternoon's JER-LGW had run out of gin and beer (other than Amstel Light) by the time I was served in Row 14.

Very helpful agent allowed me to cancel my BA holiday flight with full refund. Excellent service and no waiting on getting the call answered.
