Monarch winter
cloudy1
As TartinTon has said it now appears to be four although Thursday's show five morning departures.
The original release required six but there were several gaps which have been been filled by re-timing some flights and cutting rotations to Venice and Milan from four to three a week. The schedule will be something like this: -
Monday
1) AGP & ALC
2) MUC & LPA
3) MXP & FNC
4) TFS
Tuesday
1) VCE
2) FCO
3) TFS
4) SSH
Wednesday
1) TFS
2) LCA
3) FUE
4) MXP
Thursday
1) SSH
2) ACE
3) VCE MUC
4) FCO GNB from late Dec
5) FAO (I assume it will be FAO - ACE although not in November due BHX annual night closure)
Friday
1) TFS
2) FCO FNC
3) ALC MUC
4) AGP MXP
Saturday
1) MUC VCE
2) GNB ALC
3) AGP TFS
4) GVA IT I assume
Sunday
1) ALC ACE
2) FAO LCA
3) AGP TFS
4) GNB (VCE in Nov) FCO
Although Monarch filled the void in summer in respect of BMI Baby they have not in the lean period of winter. Baby operated 2 x ALC and 2 x AGP in winter and Monarch have kept the same frequencies, well actually ALC is reduced in November as it was six weekly.
They have also reduced TFS by two rotations in November, Arrecife, Las Palmas, Faro and Larnaca have also lost a frequency in November.
Whereas ryanair have been outspoken about the fee hike in the Canaries and mainland Spain, Monarch have just cut frequencies quietly.
Very disappointing that LPA is only one and ACE two a week and not even a daily Tenerife. At least there is a greater mix of destinations although it will be interesting to see how some of the routes perform.

Is the split 3 x 321 and 1 x 320? surely not 2 & 2 or 4 321's?
