A friend has just posted this on FacePrune...
Just arrived back after an unforgettable 30 hour journey from Mallorca. Things were going well and according to schedule until 15 minutes out from Palma the pilot announced a "code Bravo" and the cabin crew became very focussed and animated.
5 minutes later we were told of a "technical problem" and we would be returning to Palma. The 757 then started dumping fuel over the sea and we were met by a battalion of emergency vehicles as we came in to land... Monarch couldn't fix the plane so bussed 200 odd passengers to an upmarket hotel in Palma, overlooking the sea...the only downside being the slight scent of kerosene...
