Under the new strapline ‘Fly your way. Every day’, the airline is offering basic fares and then leaving customers to choose if they want to pay for extras like additional leg room and on-board refreshments.
Is this the updated/new livery?
. The titles should be located more centrally without it and look smarter.

i know it seems a dodgy effort - it was from brand republic or somewhere.
You can tell its a bit strange as the M on the tail is in the wrong direction lol
But just wondered if that was what we should be expecting. Its not a massive change really if that's it.
I think the new website looks good (even though that's very much the same) i would have thought that if they were going through the trouble to lighten the purple that's on them they'd maybe do something a bit different.
I don't think it needs .co.uk on it though - most people aren't stupid enough to figure to put that after a brand name to find what they want!

I can understand that they want 80% of their revenue to come from ZB flights... I just don't understand why they change from .com to .co.uk & drop & then reintroduce the crown just to achieve this?

With regards to your friends delayed PMI flight on Tuesday and the other delays you noticed on the same day.
A large majority of flights heading for Spain from our bases were delayed anything up to over an hour that day due to ATC slots, looks like French ATC again.
My guess the reason your friends were not boarded earlier was because it was thought they would be more comfortable in the terminal, than on the a/c.
You might also like to know that the a/c was not delayed over 1 hour, it was airborne just over an hour after its departure time, pushed back around 40-45 minutes behind schedule.
It is the push back (off chocks) that is the time used for all departure figures.

Just looking through the S12 schedules for MAN and it appears that DLM is now offered on a scheduled basis operating twice on a Friday and Monday then once a day for all the other days except Wednesday & Thursday where there are no flights (August schedules). Interesting times ahead for the airline...
Also, MAN - SSH is now part of the scheduled arm operating twice a week, Thursday and Sunday.

They never had monarch.com they had flymonarch.com which still takes you to monarch.co.uk.

Well not a fan of the new colours of the website , bit to garish for my likeing, but it is less cluttered than before so thats better, although i'm surprised nobody has mentioned one important item to note... Debit card charges dropped!!!

The new logo is also awful in my opinion. The lighter shade of purple, along with the crown and capital M makes the logo look more dated and just 'another' low cost airline. At least the dark shade of purple and lower case m on the old logo showed Monarch to be a smart and modern airline. The logo seems to have taken a step backwards.
Not a good move in terms of branding in my opinion!

They should have gone back to the above style logo, perhaps just adding .co.uk to it in a billboard style font on each side of the aircraft. Not only would it have kept it inline with the current livery (which would save millions on what could be a potential redesign of the livery if the new lighter purple has anything to do with it), but it would also emphasise once again the Crown logo when used in marketing etc, which looks like one of the new plans. I just don't think that the above is broke, so they shouldn't go trying to fix it in my opinion.
I am glad though that the new management are clearly making plans for the company and helping it move forward and carry on being successful!

So a few more charters are becoming schedule flights, and the rest of the operation is continuing in the same format that has been in the norm for the last few years.
Extra leg room seats are cheaper to buy than this time last year,but a lot of the fares
don't seem to qualify for low cost,as per Easy and Ryan, and as a gold vantage card holder with Monarch,I think that I will have to look more closely at the fares offered
by the other carriers.

.com is the internet domain normally associated with the USA and .co.uk with the UK, which is the most likely the reason.
bmibaby.com
easyJet.com
flybe.com
flybmi.com
jet2.com
thomascook.com
virginatlantic.com
All these UK airlines seem quite happy to use '.com'

* 'scuse the quotes, I am trying to avoid the URL being placed in the post to stay within the rules.
It's loganair.co.uk as someone else got loganair.com, same reason as to why it's not monarch.com which is the most obvious url to go after. To be honest, bmi isn't a great one either as Joe Public would go to ba.com before trying bmi.co.uk then flybmi.com even if they get that far. Of course if you're web savvy you would google it first, but airlinename.com is the absoute ideal !
