No, but it does seem very good value for money given that an overnight stay is included.
After a short break, the Monarch Enthusiast Days are back! Whether you’ve been a regular on our popular events, or have been dying to hear about the next one, the next event is imminent and we’re going international!
On Thursday 5th and Friday 6th July, we’re taking the Enthusiast Day concept to Italy. We’ll be offering you the chance to sample the fantastic Monarch service on one of our newest scheduled routes to one of Europe’s most famous airports, Milan Malpensa. In addition to return flights from either Manchester of Gatwick airports to Malpensa, you will enjoy an overnight stay in the Sheraton Airport Hotel, guided tours of the fantastic “Volandia” aviation museum and behind the scenes access to one of Italy’s busiest airports, including the unique opportunity to go to the top of the Air Traffic Control tower!
