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

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

These two?

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

The normal Monarch A321 config is 214.

Will Monarch get rid of more a300's this year than they planned to

A lot of people would like to know, you won't find out here first.
Or maybe you will.

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!

So could this mean that all three could go at the end of the summer instead of just the one? :eek:

There have also been lots of people asking for a Monarch Enthusiasts Day Trip on the A300 so hopefully this will still happen.

Hope the enthusiast trip on the 300 goes ahead.

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.

Just remember to go to the lavatory in the terminal before you get on board.

OK. That's really sad. Could it be the same with the 757's as well? Anyways I'm sure Mr. @ Spotty M will know something about this. Hopefully Monarch will do one as many people on feedback on the Blog wanted to go on one before they were gone. I have yet to see one of them as well (seen the others numerous times) So I hope they stay for a bit longer.

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.

757's will go on a lot longer than the 300's a lot more reliable aircraft, i don't want any of them to go really love them all.:cool:

Where would they do the enthusiasts flights from if they did them kind of hoping Man, how much did the other flights cost when they did them.:cool:

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.

They should be though it'll be the end of an era when the 300 and 75's go.

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.

They have done this multiple times. They have even done an A330 with only enthusiasts on. :)

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