some airlines have started to pre-allocate seats so getting there early doesn't work anymore.
Thankfully, Monarch aren't one of those.
We just like window seats and we've never been disappointed.
However, as you are after specific seats (are these from row 37 backwards?) you may have some competition for them.
Arriving early will definitely give you a good chance.
The earliest we've arrived at check-in for a Monarch long-haul flight is 5 hours 40 minutes before departure - we have a 200 miles journey down the M1.
In one instance, the check-in wasn't open but it did open 5 hours 10 minutes before departure so we were only waiting for 30 minutes.
The second time the check-in was already open.
Of course there's no guarantee that you'll have the same experience.
Is yours a long-haul flight?
I like the window seat as well, but I also get a bit claustrophobic, so I'd rather just have my partner sitting next to me, rather than being crammed in a row of 3. The flight is about 10hrs. I've got the rush-hour traffic to consider, but I should be there between 6 and 7pm.
Shell, if you do not mind paying the cost for extra legroom then I think you would be best advised to pay for this in advance. If you do not pay in advance and you get to the check-in desk and all of the extra legroom seats have already been paid for (quite possible on a long-haul flight), then you will not be given one of the seats you mention. If you have already paid for extra legroom seats when you get there and then make your request to be sat in one of the seats next to the window at the rear of the aircraft then I think you would stand a much better chance. Good luck!

I am flying out to Larnaca a week today.
LTN-LCA-LTN (ZB856/7) A scheduled flight.
Am I right in assuming that we don't get any food on a scheduled flight... unless you actually buy it from the menu onboard..? Sorry to appear so stupid, but I wasn't sure. If this is the case, am I allowed to take some food with me in the hand luggage? I know my liquids are limited, so I will just have to buy drinks on board, but I was dreading the thought of having to buy 5 meals!
I have been looking at the FAQ's on the site, but cant see the mention of food.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks

Hello Traceyhf1,
I know it has been discussed on this forum before but don't worry I can tell you that you are correct, meals are not included but can be purchased onboard. You are able to take your own food on without any problems and, like you say, drinks may be limited when passing through security. Just in case, I can also let you know that you are not allowed to take hot drinks onboard with you but if you do want a hot drink then these can also be purschased on your flight. Have a great holiday

Two more sleeps until Paphos!

Hi
I am looking to fly with Monarch next year to Mexico from Gatwick. Please can you advise me what the seat pitch is in economy?
Also is it worth the upgrade to premium?
I ask this I know from Thomson / TC with 33" in economy there is no real point to me in the upgrade.
Thanks

djmoomin,
The aircraft used is as Wizrd shows above from our What Aircraft? guide. Seat pitch is 30" with Monarch so you might want to consider extra legroom seating. Premium is 34" seat pitch so offers the same sort of seat pitch as extra legroom (exit rows being the exception), but you have the benefits of seat back IFE, complimentory drinks, inceased luggage allowance etc. It's personal choice whether you think it's value for money or not. If you just want a bit more seat pitch, go for extra legroom.

I recieved my tickets today, on the flight coupon it says to reconfirm all your flights 48 hours before departures.
I went onto Monarchs website and registered, I tried to login with my details and I got this message 'Please try again and ensure you are entering the email address used to make your booking and that the booking reference number is correct'.
I booked through a travel agent not online, I didnt have to give them my email address

As BY-TOM-AMM-FCA Says, The Best Thing To Do Would Be To Contact The Travel Agent Through Which You Booked The Holiday, They Should Be Able To Advise You Appropriately
