Monarch - 3
Monarch to offer upgrades to 'nice' passengers | The Independent
If there were any doubts they have lost the plot over recent times this should remove those doubts once and for all....

The only downside I see is the call centre being swamped with callers phoning for no reason other than to try and snap up these upgrades, which are as rare as hen's teeth. The "genuine" callers, who will in the era of online bookings, only be phoning to resolve problems, and are therefore the ones they really want to reach with the scheme, may become cheesed off because they can't get through.

Are Monarch dropping their Luton-Ovda route at the end of April ? It's not on sale for winter 2017/2018, the new Eilat airport seems a fair way from being finished, and Monarch have put other winter 2017/2018 routes on sale already. Furthermore, I understand that loads on Luton-Ovda have not been exactly brilliant outside the Xmas period peak
I hope not we are using this route again in a couple of weeks. Also it was the middle of march last year before this winter flights were put on sale

I expect the rather large Project Management and PR & External Communication departments have been strategizing over this for months. If you're going to waste money, you might as well go for broke.

If the Project Office was allowed to run projects properly rather than simply being brought in to clear up the mess made by those who have no ability to think 5 mins into the future or understand that in a complex organisation, if you change one thing, you often need to check what else might get pulled out of whack, then you might actually see things get done properly and without the ridiculous overspend that was inevitable when anything was tried out.
I'm afraid you've hit a nerve here and as someone who spent a lot of time trying to make things work properly there, all I can say is that you haven't got a damned clue what you are talking about if you make flip comments like that.

It's amazing how many gordies are travelling on Monarch's flights out of LBA.
I wonder if there are Scots also traveling down to LBA instead of using NCL and EDI?

Monarch have been in doing a lot of training at PIK, I know there has been discussions in the past regarding routes from Prestwick. With the reduction in APD on the way in Scotland, maybe Monarch are building up awareness for the launch of some routes in Scotland.

PIK is an excellent location for training ( as it is for maintenance). Nice long fog free runway, very few scheduled flights, reasonably quiet airspace. You can practice takeoffs and landings all day. But as a location for scheduled ops? Look at a population map. Unless other airports became so busy that slots became a problem, and I don't see that in the foreseeable future.

Unbelievable isn't it and I bet they haven't got a clue what you mean!
I read both and thought what the
As to APD in Scotland no decision if any has been made as to any reductions and more than likely nothing will change in that area for the forseable future plus Prestwick has been well used by hundreds of airlines over the decades for crew training but it doesn't mean that they intend to operate scheduled flights out of the airport, pure fantasy on behalf of the poster plus the fact he states that previous discussions have been made regarding Monarch flying from Prestwick airport.
Some posters dreams and the realities don't mix sometimes.

I'm as much a stickler for grammar and spelling as anyone, but we've all been caught out by the guesses of our tablets and phones. The one that amuses me is when LTNman always refers to the duel carriageway. I keep imagining that queuing drivers will resort to armed combat.

In this case I have a feeling that the grammar or spelling mistakes even were intended that way and probably how the posters assumed they were spelt rather than the guesses of the tablet or phone, due care and attention with what you type will eliminate such issues.

Not sure if your still having a 'few beers' but your so called editing still hasn't corrected the obvious mistakes.
I suggest you start smoking weed instead of having a few beers, it does it for me :-)
