Anyone know what type MON fly to Cancun ?

Just booked a week in Cancun, flying on MON357, and I'm guessing it's either going to be an A330 or a B767. Does anyone know for sure please ?
Cheers.

A330 with absolutely no room what so ever.

If you are going after October, the A330 is having a increase in the seat pitch.

That's good news. It seriously needs it. The A330 has to be my worst aircraft to fly on and I'll avoid it at all costs. The seats are narrow and with poor pitch it's hard work.

The crew however were fantastic and couldn't do enough - very impressed.

Oh. My. God.
ELEVEN hours in THIS

I paid £60 extra for us to have 'extra legroom' seats on the way out, but they'd sold out of them for the return flight.
I'm dreading it.
Any tips on remaining sane ?

It looks like a London Underground carriage without the ambiance!

Mate that looks good compared with the reality. I had extra legroom both ways but the seats are even narrower than normal as your tray table is in the arm. I ended up with bruises on my thighs.

Tips - mind over matter - for what it cost me it was worth it knowing that the sea would be 72+ degrees, the sand golden, the food plentiful.

As for fitting in the seats take a tub of vaseline. And if you get bored you can bugger off to the loo for half an hour
