Not much to add in part 2 of my "in depth" report.
Arrived last night at 11.30pm at gate 209 to find Swissport ready to receive us. short walk to the Border where all pax were directed to the E-Gates. Only 5 units in operation so around 10 minutes to get through. Bags arrived within 5 mins of getting to the carousel so into a taxi and home exactly one hour after leaving the aircraft.
More to the point - I must congratulate the Monarch crew last night for a highly professional job well done. A smooth ontime flight delivered without fuss or drama - very friendly cabin crew who kept smiling all despite the imminent news they must be dreading........
Well done ZB and good luck
