All Monarch we have been on have the 2 prong type connections (probably about 6 flights with them), so take the adapter (its also worth mentioning that if you want to watch the film using their headphones that you pay about £2 and you are only hiring them ! You have to give them back at the end... which makes me wonder about hygiene !)

Hi, Ive noticed that Monarch don't operate as many 757's as they used to, are they eventually going to stop operating the type all together?
Many thanks
Many thanks
Monarch now have just 3 757's in service
The majority of the fleet is made up of the Airbus A320/1 family

Just to clarify, Monarch hire headsets out at a cost of £2.50. These are twin-pronged headsets and are thoroughly cleaned after use. I can confirm that the sale of headsests is currently being considered, but at present headsets are collected in before landing.
thanks Partyboy, but I always take my own (as bought on flights with other companies) as I dont' think its possible to boil wash headphones without ruining the speakers in them.... and I don't want someone elses gammy ear problems !... lol
I think they should consider selling them sooner rather than later....

Just returned from Kos on a Monarch flight from Gatwick (MON1738/MON1739) and both the outbound & inbound flights arrived early.
The cabin crew were good and the flights were comfortable, 767 both times - it's ages since we flew on a 767, I really like this aircraft.

Have too just arrived back. Although I could sware the flight was operated by an A300 both ways, and was late on the 5th Sept (although made up some time with a 3hr05 trip time), and was 2 hours late returning to LGW yesterday morning! Both due to G-MONS having technical faults on previous flights. Anyone klnow what was up with that old crate?
Ah - just realised - must be more than one flight. I was on MON7926/7.
Hope you had a good time in Kos though. I did apart from the airport a dreadful place to spend the last night!

Had a fab time in Kos, thanks. Hope you did too.
Ours were day flights (departed Gatwick 10:50, departed Kos 18:20) so quite good.
I assumed it was a 767 as the configuration was 2-4-2 but I may have been mistaken. I'm sure Dazbo could confirm though.

The MON1738/9 is indeed operated by the 767, G-DIMB (since 27/05/09) and the MON7926 is operated by an A300 (since 11/07/09)
Ah.... wish i had taken that one. No delays, better flight time, and for nostalgia. I flew on G-DIMB down to Kefalonia in 2003 when it was with MyTravel.
Glad you had a good time Prettypolly. The rain storms on Thurs/Fri were quite a surprise though werent they

Hi guys
Can someone tell me when the check-in desk might open for my flight?
MON 3692, Mon 28 Sept, Gatwick South, 22.55
It says on my booking confirmation (haven't received paper tickets yet) that check in opens 18.55. I believe this flight is operated by the A330-200 and I'd like to get the window seats at the back section in the 2-3-2 configuration. I've been told that I can't pre-book seats and that the best way to get good seats is to check in early. If I get to Gatwick before the official check-in desk opens, could I check in at another Monarch desk?
Thanks
Shell

Most Probably Not, But You Would Be One Of The First In The Queue When They Opened Your Check In Desk

Thanks Gower, that's what I thought. Should I trust the booking confirmation that says 18.55? I need to work out what time to book a taxi for. Do many people get to check in early, or should i be alright to get there for when it opens?
shell dockley,
You Should Be Alright To Get There When It Says As 4hrs Is Plenty Of Time To Check In

Hi Shell
I'm pretty sure that Monarch operate a generic check-in system at Gatwick for charter flights (prefix MON) so regardless of which flight you're on, there's a single queuing system (which I think is great).
We have definitely checked in for flights quite a bit in advance of the time that our tickets said the check-in opens, quite a few times in fact.
The only potential fly-in-the-ointment may be that the seats you're talking about are (I believe) classed as extra-legroom so you'll have to pay for them.
If you're happy to do that, you should be OK.
Thanks very much Prettypollycat. I don't mind paying the extra leg-room price. I know you can pre-book these, but you don't get an allocated seat, which kind of defeated the object to me, but I'll be happy to pay on the day when they do give me my seat numbers. In your experience, do many people get there early? Do you normally get the seats you want?
