There’s a probable chance I could be going away to Egypt this October with family. Were looking at Monarch and I’ve done a dummy run to see how the seating looks.
My first question is - A330 or A300 on the Thursday SSH flight?
My second is - it is fairly empty surely this is bad for the airline unless the under belly (cargo) is selling so well? Anyone care to enlighten.
And final question is would there be a chance for this to be swapped to a 757 or A320/21?
Thank you for answering the questions.

Hi Nickd1992
The distinct give away difference between the a300 and the a330, is that where the cabin gets narrower toward the rear, and the outboard seats are just 2 (rather than 3), these seats are extra legroom, and will show as purple on the seat map for the A330, when making a dummy booking.
Your question about how empty the flight is, if you look at the seat map online, and there is a lot of availability to choose from, this infact just means that not many people have chosen to select seats prior to check-in, they will get allocated at the airport check in, or online check in at a later date. The emptiness of the seat map is no way representative of the amount of bookings for the flight.
Hope this helps

SSH October
Currently all Thursday Flights out of LGW/MAN to SSH on Thursdays through October are booked to be A300. BHX flights are the usual A321's. If an A300 isnt available no doubt if available the A330 will cover.

They are old seats, but have been recovered. The carpets and curtains etc are being replaced as well. It's having to be done in a staged manner though.
I think they look great, certainly a lot better than when we got them from TOM!
