Hi - Can anyone help and tell me what the seat pitch is on the A321 MAN-AGP?

I'm considering the extra legroom option if below 30" and I seem to remember last time I did the trip there wasn't much room for me being over 6' long.

Thanks in advance.

In the main cabin it varies between 28 and 29".

It does, thanks! I've read a few and is it me or are Monarch notoriously bad for seat pitch? I know lo-co's aren't great but Monarch try and set themselves above a bit.

Anyway, from the looks of reviews thank god it's not the A300...

Any more details, or is it just a short sub to cover a broken bird?

It is not on Lease, it is doing sub charters for MON, operating flights for the MOD.
MON have been using a number of carriers over the last month.

Whatever, wherever, whenever and whoever -

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR !!


'Notoriously bad' compared to other lo-co's.

I'd love to pay more but unfortunately it's only lo-co's that fly there from MAN.

Codswallop!

Codswallop!

The vast majority of people book online these days and base their purchasing decisions based on COST.

If you'd LOVE to pay more, as you say, you are in the minority. The option to purchase extra legroom does however perfectly fulfill both your requirements. So what exactly is your issue?

Point 1. I didn't want to say the name because of arguments on this thread before but Jet2 are down as having 30" min. There, said it. I'm sure fanboys will jump on me for that. I have no allegiance personally but always thought of Monarch as sort of lo-co'+' and plumped for them 9/10 times.

Point 2. In a minority I may be, but as I only speak for 'me' and asked a question relating only to me I don't see how that matters?

I can pay more for the legroom seats which is fine, thanks, and my original question has been very helpfully answered. Won't do much about the usual stag/hen do's* that litter lo-co flights though!

*On this point I am slightly hypocritical, I am perfectly happy to use them when I've been on stag do's. (Though I am well behaved compared to most of the drunken morons I usually come across).

Tight Seat (apt name!) but read the thread:

In the main cabin it varies between 28 and 29".

Look, I'm not trying to poke a snake pit of chippy Monarch stalwarts so I'll back out now. Thanks for answering my question initially. My only other issue was that I always thought Monarch were 'better' than the others and not to be grouped with the other lo-co's. SASKATOON was kindly pointing out my error!

I fly 3 times a year to Malaga and we always fly Monarch if we can and it's, more often than not, more expensive than the others, albeit not by much.

What I have only just realised, thanks to this exchange, - and the seat pitch thing is only one manifestation of this - is that really it is just another lo-co.

Sit up front, pay a little more, well worth it. We are a lo-co, but we are not a 'no-frills' outfit.

Yep, that's true to be fair, so please never do speedy boarding!

Ps - TS if you're a Cpt or F/O says a lot that you come in here and defend your airline. I apologise for my comments re 'chippy snakes' - that's reserved only for the SLF like me, not aimed at crew, back or front who have a right to be defensive and I would hope they are, as I am about the company I work for.

PPS - How much to sit in the jumpseat?

The current ZB product is driven by market forces. The original buisness model was much different! Free drinks, free meal, free newspapers, hot towels etc. BUT, unfortunately, it didn't make any money! Hence SASKATOON9999's comment is absolutely bang on.

ZB flights are Loco.
MON flights are charter.
