Canadian Affair

According to Canadian Affair's timetable section on their site, it looks like Monarch Airlines are operating some flights on a 757.
Glasgow - Toronto
Birmingham - Toronto
London Gatwick - Toronto

It was also mentioned in the TCX forum about MON's Glasgow flights but I can't find them...

The flying programe for Candian Affair seems to be all over the place,
EXT - YYZ is on MON, but YYZ to EXT is on Air Transat via NCL, but the YYZ to NCL is via EXT, Also the outbound times are a bit odd on the EXT flight.

At least MON will sub in another carrier to do the flight instead of leaving you there for days.
Is that why today's MON626 MAN/ACE is cancelled? MON have had numerous problems this summer, only yesterday one of their Airbuses dumped it's hydraulics over 23L at MAN, and had to be towed back to stand. The Dalaman the day before left over 24 hours late.

Johnny,

The ZB626/7 ACE is not cancelled, It's operating on OZBF. It was offloaded to AEU 757, however that aircraft went tech, so it was taken back in-house.

The Astraeus 757 had iceland express titles down the side. I think Monarch could do with another 757 or 767.

All in base fares to return to Monarch

All I can say is, about bloody time!!!

Monarch touts full prices as public shun 'low fares' - www.travelweekly.co.uk

Thats the main thing the winds me up about Monarch. BA & easyJet have already done this a long time ago, why can't Monarch ever lead the way? They always follow what others do rather than being the leader. Other than that, I think Monarch are a great little airline.

I thought it was a new European law anyway that all airlines had to show the fare including taxes (excluding any additional extras) on any advertisements and on the booking selection pages on the net, as far as I was aware I thought Monarch was doing this.

No, not exactly. Both Monarch and Jet2 show a 'base' fare on the select flight page but show the fare inclusive of taxes in a box on the right hand side. Therefore the eye catching price is excluding taxes.

This is a move in the right direction as I believe that ALL non optional costs should be displayed as the eye catching price.

Monarch do show the price inclusive of taxes etc. on the first page but in a panel to the right hand side of the advertised price (you have to click on the price before the taxes etc. are displayed) therefore I think this covers them as far as the law is concerned. BA & easyJet just show the price already inclusive of taxes etc. which is obviously the more honest way of doing things. The Ryanair's, Jet2's etc. are within the law but are still clearly hoping to get traffic to their website in a rather underhand manner IMO.
