I have to say I am pretty appalled at the abrupt cancellation of all the MUC services (+FDH). Monarch manages to just avoid the two weeks EU261 period so no compensation is legally required, but as Monarch is unable to offer alternatives to/from Southern Germany, a lot of people booked for the next few weeks on those routes will be left considerably out of pocket.
Pretty poor planning. Not reliable. Not great marketing.

Well looks like you right guys. Got an email from Monarch Airlines today saying that my flights between Leeds and Munich in June have in fact been cancelled and that will I be given a full refund
So after a little advise I looked at the KLM option via Amsterdam and like you say "getonittt" they do actually come out far cheaper at just £228.50 compared to Monarch’s £391.94
Also whilst looking around checked out the British Airways option via Heathrow it too came out cheaper than Monarch at £315.08

Seems ZB cancelling schedules is becoming a habit, they abandoned LBA -GNB in the early weeks of the ski season leaving me in an expensive lurch. Even though the route is available next year I opted for a more expensive Jet2 flight for next year. Monarch's reputation of old is suffering.

2planks if you care to read back this thread you might have notice that it’s not just the LBA - MUC route that’s been cancelled. Monarch have for some reason decided in the last few days to cancel all its UK routes to MUC this summer season including from MAN, LTN and BHX

Had the same to Faro last year too. I wont even look at their schedules now-as I was left high and dry last time and well out of pocket due to the late cancellation
but with no usable alternative offered-or compensation.
Once bitten twice shy etc etc.

Travel several times a year MAN-BCN, & Usually travel KLM or Lufthansa because the flights are cheaper than the direct ZB service & also greater schedule flexibility.
Was going to book MAN-MUC, but Lufty was cheaper anyway, so fortunately not faced with a late expensive re-booking.
I used to be Silver Card holder with ZB but now not found any suitable flights with ZB since May last year. I wish them well with their new expanded network, but can't help feeling the company has changed for the worst, IMHO.
