It is not the same. ZB have two prices on the first screen, the most prevelent being without taxes and as you say, the full cost, with taxes added, on the right in pink and smaller font. Why don't they show just the full tax inclusive cost as Easy do? Is it an attempt to mislead?
The base price and the all-inclusive price are exactly the same font size and colour on my screen.
Personally, I like to see the breakdown of the various charges.
Hardly misleading when it's all the info on the same page but as Tight Seat says if you really feel you have a point take it to trading standards.
Perhaps you'd be kind enough to let us know how you get on?

No.
All I'm suggesting is that the full fare (inc taxes) is shown up front and nothing else. It's not just ZB who need to do this , but WW, Jet2, Ryanair and several others.
If the Dutch can do it, then so can the Brits and Irish.
Touchy are you guys in MONland!

delays @ BHX
Monarch done some nifty scheduling Saturday at BHX when "BP" went
tech in Larnaca on Friday.
They managed to postion in a 321 from Gatwick in the early afternoon
and got the schedule back on track by Sunday.
However another one today has back-fired at BHX after aircraft "BI"
was taken this afternoon for a service elsewhere delaying the BHX-
Tenerife three hours.
The TFS had to wait for "RA" from Heraklion, which night-stops at BHX some weeks or operates a later HER.
However "RA" took off on the Tenerife at 18.56 followed by two loud bangs
on rotation and emergency landing back at BHX (19.09)
I was watching it on flightradar24.com and it appeared to level out at 2500 ft and didn't hang around - would that be an overweight landing with TFS fuel on board?
I assume another headache for ZB ops and a story to tell for the pax!

The aircraft was moved to LTN to cover a A321 that has been tech for the last few days and then back to BHX after its rotation.
Now if we were Ryanair or easyjet it would be no problem now would it, we would just cancel the flights and you might get a seat sometime later on in the week if you are lucky.
You get what you pay for, you will 99% of the time get your flight, might not leave on the same day or could be merged with another flight on a larger a/c but it will operate.
So if you want to gamble try Ryanair and now easyjet if reports lately are to go by.

Cancelled flights
Mr @ Spotty M
Cheers for the info re "BI" all seems to be okay after the emergency landing with "RA" - it was a mayday call.
Monarch at BHX have been quite smart with a couple of long layovers such as one tonight and one Sunday, which goes a long way in helping in summer.
I am not usually one to defend ryanair but as far as I can remember since the ash cloud they have cancelled only a couple of flights at BHX this summer and one was because Murcia closed (during the ATC strike). I think the
other was a knock on delay with a Dublin flight.
Baby also have experienced delays due to their tight schedule but I can only remember Nice cancelled since the ash cloud but might have been others.
Monarch have cancelled nothing at bhx since the ash cloud & only easyjet at BHX can match that - oops forgot they don't operate in the Midlands during summer do they?

The BHX six
Second flight had to return to BHX in as many days today with "BI" having
problems on the BHX-LCA service this afternoon.
However as yesterdays TFS was running about 16 hours late with a
recovery aircraft, this was then used on turnaround to cover for the late running Larnaca.
Problem now, BHX has six aircraft covering its four based schedule.
How are ZB managing to cover this elsewhere and how are the two
sick BHX aircraft?
Despite all the media hysteria on local TV and in print, the schedule has once again been recovered reasonably well but has another UK base suffered?

Dublin Base
Monarch have two a/c based in Dublin
Flight operate from Thursday until Sunday.
An A320 is in Dublin from Wednesday night until Sunday night
An A321 is in Dublin from Thursday night until Sunday nigh
I'm not sure if both a/c stay in Dublin when not operating flights or they go to another base and operate for the days they are not operating flights from Dublin or they are on stand by for other a/c which go tec.

For info the MAN-Paphos was nothing to do with the BHX incidents, it was because a tow bar incident caused damage on push back on a A300.
They have been using the B757 yesterday afternoon covering a A321 flight at LGW & MAN and the plan yesterday afternoon was to use the A300 on a A321 rotation this morning at MAN.
The DUB based aircraft are used at other bases when not in DUB, it would not be cost effective to use DUB if they were not.

Does Monarch face a problem subbing-in aircraft to enable the original schedule to be restored? Or is it simply that there is no spare capacity around this summer? I sympathize with their scheduling problems at the moment. I wouldn't mind betting that over-demanding requirements from their commercial department have left no flex in the operation.

Oh struth for all the Anti Jet2 - pro Monarch numpties, you will all be delighted to know Jet2 are being subbed to help bring the nightmare of late back to some normality. No doubt Mr Meeson will make sure every seat pocked is rammed full of Jet2's 87% otp publicity and the long list of destinations you can fly to with Jet2 from Manchester...

Folks, read the sticky at the top of the forum again please.
A number of spotter posts have just been removed. A newbie started it but some old-time PPRuNers who should know better pushed the snowball down the slope.
This forum is neither Monarch Operations nor Maintenance Control and is not concerned with the movements or non-movements of individual aircraft or flights. PPRuNe has a spotters forum for exactly that sort of thing.
Neither is PPRuNe interested that aircraft VXYG substituted for aircraft ABCD because aircraft ABCD had a toilet malfunction. Not sure what forum would be interested in that but this one isn't.
An oft forgotten rule of thumb: if you are typing the registration of an aircraft in your post you are probably making a spotter post.
Cheers,
The Mods

I think it's a bit early to be making asumptions that LTN/LGW-FUE(and also LPA) are dropped for next summer. It's odd they are the only routes not on sale, but it is still months to go until the summer schedule starts
As a side note ZB recently announced an increase for winter on LGW-LPA, one of the 4 summer routes not yet on sale.

Whether in the directory or not, Is it really fair to be posting peoples names in an open forum like that?
Yes. They are an official of the company acting in an official role. If the e-mail isn't legitimate that's another issue.
