We've flown with Monarch several times from Gatwick to Las Palmas Gran Canaria and now want to book for next March or April 2012. I can't see this destination listed from Gatwick only airports up north, are they now no longer offering this route or am I simply too early? If so, can you advise roughly when this will be available if you are aware to book please rather than having to try another airline?
Thanks

It does look like they are only flying from Manchester and Birmingham to Las Palmas.

Welcome onboard :tup
MAN-LCA-MAN (ZB648/3) are operated by Airbus A321-200 / Airbus A300B4-605R respectively. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). You can have your 11 month old on selected rows next to the window. There needs to be an extra oxygen mask because of your little one.

richfoz,

Your outbound is an A321, but the inbound an A300. The A300's might be getting long in the tooth, but they are nice to fly on and Monarch Engineering are world renowned.

LAX2000,

LGW-PFO-LGW (ZB786/7) are operated by Boeing 757-200 / Airbus A330-200. There may not be many seats to choose from by the time you get to the airport subject to how many pre-select / check-in online.

Thanks guys,

will there be other programs on other channels? Also what seats would you go for if you was in a group of 4?

Thanks

hammerflyer,

Seating is personal preference. They all offer the same basic facilities other than extra legroom so it's whatever you prefer really. The only ones I would say avoid are the rows close to toilets.

Just to add to Darren's post above, if you are in a group of 4 that includes 2 children then be aware that if you select 2 seats in front of each other then there is a possibility that you may be asked for each child to sit with an adult (at least for take off and landing if not the duration of the flight). However 2 seats in front and 2 behind would also give you 2 window seats and 2 aisle seats. 4 seats in the middle though would mean you would all be together. As Darren said, it is really down to personal preference :D

It's for 4 adults so I think window seats, can I ring them up before and pick my seats before we get to the airport? I heard monarch change there menu on every flight because alpha supply the food? In premium do we get a menu to choose from?
