Monarch didn't get involved with the affinity charters, but they did venture outside of Europe occasionaly, The most common route was St Lucia, via Santa Maria or Gander, although they did occasionaly come back direct, usually short of fuel and requesting a straight in on 08!
Monarch operated a series of Advance Booking Charters on behalf of Solair Holidays, part of Tabberer Travel Agency to Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver using B720Bs back in the late 70s or early 80s, can't honestly remember when.
I seem to recall they did BHX / YYZ non-stop, but perhaps my memory is playing tricks.
