TOM summer 2013 brochure showing flights with MON from LBA for next year:
MON LBA/DLM 1000/1945
TUE LBA/PMI 0700/2115
WED LBA/NBE* 0600/1350 (* Enfidha - Tunisia)
WED LBA/PFO 1520/0215
THUR LBA/SSH 1000/2215
Also showing is:
TUE EMA/PMI 1455/1325
I think the PMI on a Tuesday must be a W Pattern with LBA. It says all these services are operated on a B757. Of course, a lot is likely to change between now and then.

Ah yes, to be honest, I did see that on the live website. Although I prefer the brochure's version of events. Lol. 
As somebody told me yesterday, Monarch don't have the aircraft to do MON flights. Mind you, I guess we'll just have to see the final makeup up the fleet.
I believe the above link is just a snippet of the advert.

It just goes to show what a good decision I made not to go into advertising, because I really don't understand why anyone would book a Monarch flight on the strength of that advert.

Artie, I believe it's called a "teaser" in the industry? In preparation for the full ad next week.
Danny, because they've never made the money available to do TV advertising before now and they are starting to carry the sorts of passenger numbers that warrant TV advertising.

Monarch Ad
Yes I agree with TartinTon, I did does look to be just a teaser. Also, It mentions on the website that it would tell people about the product monarch offers and the destinations it offers!. So i dont think that teaser is the advert!

Having returned from Palma Tuesday evening to Manchester, almost 6 hours late,
The excuse we were given that our aircraft had gone tec (A321) and we were being put onto a B757 when this aircraft became free at Manchester. Ok things go wrong,
and it appeared Monarch were doing what they could to rectify the situation.
No you would be wrong, the tec aircraft, was in fact from Birmingham, (the morning
flight) and was stuck in Palma overnight,with the passengers being put in hotels for the night.
Our aircraft which was to operate the original flight Man-Pmi-Man,and which was serviceable, was ferried instead to Birmingham as ZB914P to cover that flight,which
on first glance operated pretty close to schedule. So why upset Manchester passengers, when the delay is a BHX problem.
Same thing happen in May with Monarch, when they had a delay at Luton, and they shipped our aircraft down there to cover it. They then charted a Thomson aircraft for us,
which dept. Manchester almost 3 hours late.
I am a vantage card holder with Monarch, but now having to look at other airlines
who seem to operate pretty close to the schedule times.
Having monitored Monarch flights at Manchester for a while now,I think they will be the leading contender for the airline with the worst punctuality record this year.
Mr spotty m care to comment on Monarch policy with regards to delays.

I can understand your annoyance but I'm sure you understand that these things happen. I can only assume that someone with the 'bigger picture' made the decisions to minimise a major delay to the maximum number of pax.
It may be of no consolation to you but at least they did operate all the flights whereas some other airline may have cancelled.

On the other hand you have a woman bouncing up and grunting, all before 9pm ...

In Dublin MAEL were looking after Air Transat last year as well as MON aircraft so i'd guess thats why they are back. I'd say this year they are looking after Transat and some other charters eg Orbest.
Having had a lot of dealings with MON & MAEL i have to say the engineering is second to none and the operational side of MON is very professional and they'll always try their best to get pax away even if it means spending a ton of money to do so.

They always seem to save the BHX program and delay a MAN flight, especially the afternoon MAN-AGP flight. Im not quite sure about why but I think it may be due to there are more flights going from MAN than from BHX therefore getting people to their destinations easier. I may be wrong though.

Thanks for the replies.
I just think it is with Man. being a large base,it is easier to find a spare aircraft,even at the expense of delaying the Man. passengers.
It's just annoying that our two flights were running more or less to schedule,and they send the aircraft off to other airports to try and catch up with there delays, and so delay us.
They very kindly gave us a 6Euro voucher for the 6hour delay. Tin of beer and sandwich in Palma airport cost 7.95Euro.
After being a loyal customer of Monarch, I have now booked two flights with Easy.
My daughter who made a late booking,went with Ryan instead of Monarch,at least she arrived early. see what happens on the return.

Unlike Easy or Ryan , MON will not cancel a flight. Not an excuse on our part, delays are horrid , rest assured the delay is never a minute longer than needs be.
I have seen Ryan and Easy cancel flights 20 mins before departure rather than delay it for 6 hours.
