cwilmore,

Weather related I would imagine (knock-on delays) due to slippage in the schedule.

slatey,

Welcome onboard :up

MAN-ALC-MAN (ZB676/7) are operated by an Airbus A321-200. You'll find lots of aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). It might be worth discussing your requirements with Monarch Airlines as there are medical seats available.

Just a brief review of my recent flight to/from Goa from/to Gatwick (MON2490/2491).

Outbound flight (20th November) left on time on the scheduled plane, previous route for this flight was from Manchester to Goa and back then onto Gatwick to pick us up and they substituted an alternative plane for the MAN-GOI route without Premium but we had the 'proper' plane.

Landed early.

Return flight (12th December) had a 1 hour delay when we arrived for check-in.
Apparently on the outbound flight before take-off someone was taken so ill that they had to leave the plane and of couse they had to find and offload the luggage.
It turned into a 1-and-a-half hour delay because we had to wait for one passenger who'd come out on MON2490 on 11/12 but was refused entry into India (presumably because of a visa issue) and had to collect her luggage to be loaded back onto the plane she'd come in on. :yikes

Pleasant flights both way, good cabin crew.

robbie,

LGW-GOI-LGW (MON4372/3) are operated by an Airbus A330-200 (G-EOMA), operating non-stop. However, if there's a technical problem with this aircraft, it's substituted for an A300B4-605R that operates via Bahrain (fuel stop).

There's normally a flight information page linked on Monarchs website when problems arise. All the information will be on there.

Sounds like you need a holiday :rofl
If you were looking at Pegasus, you'd have got a Boeing! With Monarch though, it would probably be an A321-200 depending on the particular flight.

Monarch boosts Cyprus capacity with Paphos flights

Monarch Airlines is launching scheduled flights to Paphos in Cyprus from Gatwick, Birmingham and Manchester.

The flights will operate twice weekly from May 4 on Wednesdays and Sundays and the lead in price is £70.99 including taxes and charges.

Monarch Airlines managing director Tim Jeans said: "Monarch has been operating scheduled flights to Larnaca since 2007 and already carries over 300,000 passengers to Cyprus annually.

The addition of new services to Paphos is in direct response to customer feedback and will increase the number of Monarch seats between the UK and Cyprus by 35% next summer."

My wife is pregnant with our second baby and my parents are looking to book the flights now and baby is not due until the 23rd of march, i am wondering of anyone can help me with what we put in for babys name as we don't know what we want to call him yet and don't want to incur huge name change fees. i scanned the pages of the forum but couldn't find a similar post ( i apologise if i have missed it) and i can't seem to find the information on monarchs website. Thank you in advance for any help you guys can give me.

Last time I used it, they were pretty quick to answer.

Welcome onboard :tup
Firstly, congratulations on the forthcoming little one. It's usual that when booking flights, you contact the airline by phone to make the booking and the baby is booked under a made up christian make and correct surname. Once he/she arrives, you just need to call reservations to get the name changed and date of birth. It's important you call rather than book online so you can let them know you are booking an infact and that he/she hasn't arrived yet. That way, you wont incur any charges for the name change. It's a common thing so just give them a call, they'll sort it for you.

Hello, brand new so hope I am posting in the right place! Have found an excellent deal with Cosmos and they use Monarch Airlines for the flight to Orlando.
Has anyone done this trip with Monarch? Are the seats decent etc?
Am tempted with Thomson's as their seat pitch seems pretty decent, but they don't have the hotel I want :(

Thanks for any help
