Monarch -2
)
The Manchester based A306 has a premium cabin fit,so try and get one of those seats.There may however have been a big swap around due to the problems caused by the A332 u/s so it could be a 361Y aircraft.

Monarch do not produce a timetable.You can have a look at the airline website for the ZB stuff which is predominately operated by 320/1.Charters do not have a timetable.A charter is nothing more than a taxi service for a tour operator and operates to the charterer's schedule.Aircraft type can be varied at the request of the charterer due to the expected load,however you would never see a 320 do a SFB,but you may see an A332 do a SHM but never a CFU.
If you can give a specific flight number and date you may be able to narrow it down.

Tubby, wouldn't be to sure about the fact that you would never see an A332 in CFU. I know that at the end of last summer season somebody had exactly that flight on his roster.
LTU operates the A332 on a regular basis into CFU

I thought the A332 was banned from CFU.I remember a while ago the CAA ops inspector wasn't happy about the A306 going there and we stopped going.As soon as he retired it suddenly became suitable again!

Tubby, not sure with regards to the A306. Not my fleet so can't comment on it. The A332 was schedelued to do a CFU but due to the program going tits up on the day of the flight they rescheduled it to do a medium haul rescue.
Have to admit that we were just as surprised as you are. Never seen or heard that the A332 was scheduled to do any flights to CFU before that.
But the airport should be suitable for the A332 otherwise LTU (Air Berlin) wouldn't operate some of their flight to CFU on the A332. Oh well.

What will be flying the route such as Egypt? I know the A321s can make it but when the temperature is 40+ can they still? Will it be the A320 as it has longer range? But this will obviously reduce capacity...
The 787 needs to hurry up! Many carriers are struggling to cope without their 757s! A revolutionary aircraft and the 787 should hopefully surpass this - it needs to!

I can't see all the 'Excitement' with this '787'
The 'Thing' isn't even built and already it has got a bad name to it!!
It's simple - Develop & modernise the 757 for another 15 - 20 years?
Nothing will beat the 757!!
Nothing has as yet.
'DREAMLINER' - Dream on!!

This is why you shouldn't post when you get back from the pub.
People stopped buying the 757 because the A321 could do most of the mission for less. The 757 came to be seen as overpowered and overengineered, hence the orders dried up.
Fantastic aircraft that has had its day. The 787 IS the future as the ordebook will testify too, it also looks damn good.
Now repeat after me. "Aircraft aren't as good as they used to be. When I were a lad etc etc etc........"

I'm sure a crew member for Monarch would have a copy of the Summer charter flying programme which would list regular operated charter flights (as the majority are) during the summer months, assuming that is what you're after. I'm sure Monarch must produce one still for their crew (they did years back). I know my current airline who is also charter produce one to help it's crew understand what they cover when on standby. Obviously thing's can and may change throughout the season and it may be a little early still as I know we don't yet have one for this coming summer.
