Travelled with Air 2000 from Stansted to Palma last month on A321. Outward journey left a bit late but the flight was smooth, aircraft clean, cabin crew were helpful and the food was not bad. There was a two hour delay on the return leg (eventually left at 2am!) once again everything was fine until I tried to plug in my headset.

Now I know that I'd been up since 9am the previous morning but I remembered where the socket was on the outward leg but was it in the same place on the way back, no. Was one of the aircraft an 'inherited' machine as a result of a merger?

The worst experience of recent times was a trip with Eurocypria from Luton to Papthos. The aircraft was A320, appearance was flaky to say the least, the food was yuk, miserable cabin crew and non existant in flight entertainment. We were also treated to a very short final into Papthos over the sea and a big bang landing. Nice way to start off a holiday.

Going back to Papthos next year with Monarch, what are they like??
