Three 321's based as of this week (the first day saw a FCA A320 subbing).

The Malaga last summer competed with Baby, Flybe & Lite and it was
impossible to get a breakdown of the numbers. Tenerife averages
between 130 (winter) to 180 (summer) per flight but it was rumoured
that yields were poor.

As I posted on the Birmingham thread earlier the queues at the
Monarch Murcia and Tenerife looked good today when I popped
in at lunchtime. The winter loads on the 321 were quite bad but
quickly improved mid Feb onwards.

As for forward bookings I have no idea.

For the family holiday both last year and this year I viewed the
prices from the day they were released for a couple of months,
including ZB Malaga. I would say that they are competitively priced
especially this years late Malaga. The others such as MJV, ALC
MAH & LEI seem quite expensive and hopefully will make money.
I do only monitor school holiday dates in the main.
