Apparently (according to Jethro) Monarch have acquired another A320. It is apparently to be registered G-ZBAH and it's coming from Vueling

Will the ex-Cyprus '321's have an interior re-fit before going into service or have they already extra legroom 'up front'?

The Ex CY aircraft will be in a 204 config for the summer as opposed to the 191Y config, they were operated at CY.
Thanks

There is still no official announcement yet but if I were you I would take the opportunity this summer to fly on the old birds if you want to!
There have also been lots of people asking for a Monarch Enthusiasts Day Trip on the A300 so hopefully this will still happen.

MKY661, as Alex321 and others suggest, there is now a distinct possibility that all A300s will go at the end of this summer season so if you want to fly on one then I would fly sooner rather than later.

Until there is an official announcement we just have to sit tight. Options are being looked at to increase the speed in which Monarch disposes of the A300 and continue with fleet renewal/replacement.
As I said above take the chance now to fly on them!
With regards to the 757 its still planned to be around until the end of 2014 as far as I am aware.

The last enthusiast flight was in December last. It was from Gatwick to Friedrichshefen on a B757 and cost £159.98.
Note: Enthusiast days out are not to commemorate last flights.

Why would Monarch want to operate a flight "just for enthusiasts". The A300s in their current config have 361 seats which is a hell of a lot more difficult to fill on the 180 seat A320s or 221 seat B757s/A321s.
The whole point of the enthusiast trips in the first place was to get additional revenue for the airline - I thought that would've been obvious! They don't do it for the sake of it, just to burn up some expensive fuel. Its a commercial operation.

On a side note G-ZBAB has arrived today at MAN
