Monarch -2

[Falcon666]

With Monarch rebranding i would have thought it would be a great chance for them to be different to Easy and Ryanair and offer something different.
Something like Southwest/Jetblue offer in the US.
1st bag free (up to 20kg),On line check in and seat allocation without paying extra(Pay extra only for extra legroom)
Complimentary snacks and drinks on board-alcohol extra.
No rip-off card charges (ok i know they are trying with this)

If they want to change to a Lo Co they just dont want to be too much like the others

Yes, that would be good. Alas too much to hope for.

Monarch have a real opportunity to increase it's share in the market if they do the " 1st bag free " idea.

The one thing people hate paying for. I personally fly bmi because they dont charge even if it is up to £20 more. It makes my journey less stressful and it also reduces excess hand baggage which monarch often suffers from.

[MKY661]

can i just ask there is a delay with today's ZB660 flight (MAN - AGP). Is it a technical fault or is it a missing aircraft because G-OZBF says its last flight was MON321P which means it usually goes to another base.

[Mr @ Spotty M]

Departed on rescue mission to HME, due Tech a/c.
AGP departure delayed to after midnight due night closure of AGP.

Does anybody know the fate of the several charter rotations to Greek and Cyprus holiday destinations operated for Dream Holidays, which went bust just few weeks ago ?

Have these flights dropped for good and if so, how have they been replaced ?

Did they increase their scheduled programme after Dream Holiday's demise?

[sam1993]

I think 9but am willing to be corrected!) the flights operated for Dream Holidays were also sold by other operators (i.e full aircraft were not chartered by Dream Holidays) so these flights will still go ahead as normal.

Any news on Monarch's fleet renewal..

[MKY661]

all i know is that there is a good possibility they are getting 737-800's or A319's

Does anyone know what a/c type MON use on the SSH service ex MAN please?

[MKY661]

usually A300 or A321 with occasional A330

[Mr @ Spotty M]

The A321 does not get used on the MAN-SSH charter operation, mainly A300 or A330.

Hello,

Can anyone help please?

Are any LGW-PFO flughts on the A300 or A330? I used to fly MON A300s to PFO years ago but not sure if the A300/A330 operates any anymore? I am looking to fly in October

Cheers

[MKY661]

yes monarch have still got their 300's & 330's and they are used on these Paphos flights but there is the odd A321 that runs it, think thats on a Thursday

MON Dublin base for summer 2012 lightly not to happon. If it does there will only be 1 aircraft.

Iberworld are basing 1 aircraft which will take over many of MON routes.

[Airbus321-200]

Where is that info coming from Jamie? not sure its finalised yet. I've heard 1 a/c but who knows.

[Jamie2k9]

Iberworld taking over the following MON routes for summer 2012.

Friday - Reus, Ibiza
Saturday - Lanzarote, Gran Canaria
Sunday - Palma, Faro
(Iberworld already operate Palma)

As Iberworld will have an A320 and if MON have one based will it be a A321 or another A320.

[MKY661]

what about flights between PIK and FNC

[Airbus321-200]

So will iberworld or orbest be basing crew here do you think? Flight times suggest they might. Or they'll just use their spanish crew in hotac.
