Monarch -2
The Monarch DC10-30 was an absolute dream to travel on. Only 361 seats so plenty of leg room, extra galley space for the crew and a feeling of spaciousness!!
Makes me feel very sad just to see the front left at Manchester every time I pass!!

They need a new hangar at Luton for the 787's if they are to be maintained there. Plans were in place once for expansion around the run up bay, I wonder if this might be resurrected?

Understand at LTN though that either the Easy Hangar would have to be shortened or the buildings adjacent to the taxiway link,( currently being worked on again) demolished to allow the wingspan needed to get the 787 to the main Apron and manouverability into any Hangar there.

Just got back yesterday - I thought the A300 was very comfortable (when compared with other Monarch/charter aircraft), and I'm 6ft/11st. I must also congratulate Monarch, after 10+ flights, I have had my FIRST on time flight! Early in fact.
