kinda strange cause it was there station manager who saids that the only times they could OFFER the tour operator!!

Maybe it was the only gap in the flying program available for a trip of that length.

Sounds like you heard what you wanted to hear. They are flying a programme not a one-off flight. You can't fly every flight at 9am local dep. Give me strength. Obviously it's Monarchs fault that there aren't 16 hours in the morning.....:ugh::ugh::ugh:

787 now due summer 2013!
 

Quote from Tim Jeans:

"After months of rumour Boeing has now confirmed to us the extent of the problems with the 787 production programme and the consequent effect this will have on the delivery schedule of our six aircraft.

"Boeing’s ability to ramp up production rates after the first deliveries was always the high risk factor in the programme and they have now confirmed that they will be unable to match their original estimates and are now planning on production build up in line with that they were able to achieve on the 777 programme. Taking the 777 programme as the benchmark, this would mean a 30 month delay to our first delivery and similar delays to the other five aircraft. The best case scenario is therefore that we would see the 787 in service for Summer 2013 which clearly has significant implications for the interim period.

"We are now working closely with Boeing on opportunities for them to assist us with interim aircraft to bridge the capacity gap in our programme. Inevitably some of the alternatives they will offer will be commercially sensitive, but we will share with you the possible options as soon as they are known to us."

Tail.

The tail colours are allegedly the original Monarch Uniform from 40 years ago !!
Looks great !!!! :)

Significant improvement over last year's scheme which looked like the aircraft had been parked in one of Crawley's less salubrious districts overnight and subjected to some graffiti.

Nice colours. :O
Shame about the passengers. :}
Does Hed Kandi have a drugs connotation ? :oh:

MON303 MAN - SFB 30 May
 

Could somebody let me know whether this is flown by an A330 or B767?
What is the seat pitch and IFE?

Cheers

Mon303
 

Listed as B763. Sorry but know seat pitch on this aircraft.

29" I think.

Not sure about the IFE. Never flown long haul with MON and not sure whether the 763 has a full company cabin.

Thanks for the info TRS 2 and MUFC_fan.
Probably going to feel cramped having only flown scheduled or FCA on long haul before.
It was only booked yesterday as a cheap last minute holiday.

If you fly often with FCA, TOM, EK etc. I guarantee you will feel cramped! Don't expect the same quality of service either. I'm not saying that MON's service is bad as I have never flown with them long haul, only short, but I would guess it will not be as good as the FCA service which is fantastic.

mon3693 26th may?
 

Currently on the beach in MBA with people wondering what happened to this flight - they are waiting to take it home - 24 hour delay - the rep knows little.

Can anyone shed some light?

Does anyone know what happend to Monarch operating from GLA. In 2005 or 2006 they had a based A320 for the summer, was this on behalf of someone? Also no SFB flight from GLA this ear.

Re the MBA delays.

Presumably a knock on affect from the flight which went tech in SSH a few days back, dunno if it was an A300 or A332 though

A332 stuck in SSH since Sunday, hoping to dept tonight to MBA after it gets back from SSH.
Not been a good weekend all-round, on the various fleets.:{
