. . . . . where its due.
(I am not a Monarch employee BTW)
This Fri out / Sunday return flight to ALC was one of the best I have had.
They (MON) are a cut above the other LCC I use to ALC.
The aircraft (A320) was exceptionally well turned out (I paid the extra £15 for 3C) and the extra legroom was nice but the other seats looked to have a better pitch than others carriers and were in good really good condition. The leather seats were much better than recently experienced on other carriers and the CC seemed very experienced, organised, coureous and well . . . . just nice !!
Free papers, free used of clean new headphones and IFE make all the difference. (even hot hand / face towels for all pax)
5 minute early departure, 10 minute early land and the pilot did one of those "are we down yet" landings - probably scrubbed the tyres as a result though
To be honest I couldn't tell the difference cost wise with the other BHX and CVT LCC's but it was really impressive.
Praise where it is due
