Monarch MAN-KOS

Moderator Comment

Since Tommy does not propose to further tax our collective knowledge of Monarch Airlines, their fleet, scheduling, catering and seating arrangements until his next holiday I think it’s time to put this thread to bed.

Have a nice holiday, Tommy. 🙂

Fantastic, now fair to say i am ready for my holidays, settled on a/c types.
No more questions until another holiday is booked.
Mind you, you maybe lucky enough to have me flying from LBA where i am almost 100% certain on a/c types.

I forgot the same details for the MAN-TFS flights in August – silly me!

MYT101 is an Airbus A321 and departs Manchester at 18:50 hrs local time, arriving in Tenerife at 23:35. Return flight MYT102 leaves Tenerife South at 00:35 and arrives in Manchester at 04:55 hrs on Wednesday mornings. There are also MyTravel flights to Tenerife on Tuesday nights from Belfast (A320) and Gatwick (A320).

Prior to operating this service, the aircraft operates MYT125 / 126 Manchester-Kefallinia-Manchester, leaving MAN at 09:05 hrs local time and arriving back at 17:40. Prior to that, the aircraft has at least four hours on the ground as the latest arrival of the three MyTravel A321s back at Manchester on Tuesday morning is at 04:40 from Las Palmas (the others arrive back from Bodrum at 04:05 or Ibiza at 01:30; and then operate Palma + Rimini or Malta + Alicante during their working day on Tuesday).

MyTravel has three A321s in its fleet during Summer 2006, all of which are based at Manchester. G-DHJH and G-NIKO were both built in 2000 and have been operated by MyTravel since they were delivered from the factory. G-SMTJ was built in 2003 and has also been operated by MyTravel since new.

How am I doing?

Many thanks flightrider for your information.
Well im settled now, went on G-MONJ last year, enjoyed the experiance.
Im suprised the 83 built 757s are still going, is this their last year ?
Anyway early 757’s are meant to be nosier so i believe.

I will make a valiant effort to kill this thread off for all time!

MON1288 / 1289 Manchester-Kos-Manchester is due to be operated by a Boeing 757 this summer. It is a 235-seat 757 and so not one of the aircraft reconfigured for operations primarily on Monarch scheduled flights.

The flight’s first operation is on 12 July and so the aircraft on which Tommy is travelling will be the first roundtrip of this particular series.

Wednesday mornings sees the aircraft operating a series of flights to meet a cruise ship. On 12 July, it will be operating a roundtrip Gatwick-Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen-Gatwick and then positioning as MON429P from Gatwick to Manchester to arrive 2 hours before the scheduled departure of MON1288 to Kos at 18:20 hrs local time.

On 26 July, the aircraft will be operating a roundtrip Gatwick-Barcelona-Gatwick before again positioning to MAN to then fly the MAN-KGS-MAN rotation.

MON1289 arrives back from Kos at 04:00 hrs local time on Thursday mornings. The aircraft then operates a roundtrip MON3128/3129 MAN-Salonika-MAN on Thursday mornings at 05:30 and following that, it flies another roundtrip MAN-Kos-MAN as MON5038/5039 on Thursday afternoons.

The airline operates seven B757-200s:
G-MONB, MONC and MOND were all built in 1983
G-MONE was built in 1985
G-DAJB was built in 1987
G-MONJ and G-MONK were built in 1988

Helpful?

Cheers

*Head against brick wall time*.

airfleets.net search there for ages!

Never get a response. Quite happy going on 757. Bit more of a risk of a delay tho 🙁 Aint some of there 757’s rumoured to be built in 1983.

A man of reason Lance, thanks for restoring some sanity to the thread :).

Tommy, why not put all these questions directly to Monarch rather than asking us to guess on your behalf? 🙂

Any change in flight time ? Quite happy now i have variation in a/c types this summer. I love 757’s.

Series now ops on 757 and reskd. Your tour operator will advise new schedule.

G-OZBL has now arrived.
Is all the Monarch fleet gaining leather seats or just the scheduled aircraft such as the more modern A321s.

Well im believing A321 just kind of hoping for a 757 😮
Oh well lol, aint tried the Bus type for 2 years 😉

I would just wait to see what turned up or looked on the airline’s website for the aircraft type if i was really bothered 😉 Obviously on charter airlines, they don’t give you the type 🙂

Thanks
Sam

No I wouldn’t! I would ask once, if told A321 fine, then if anything else turned up so be it!

Oh stop moaning, i just want clarification thats all, some people say A321 some say 757 etc. I bet you would do same if you were on a Manchester flight. But as with LBA, things seem alot easier.

No offence Tommy, but how many times are you going to ask about what type of aircraft your KOS and TFS trips are, you do the same with every flight you go on, and gets really annoying after the 3rd of 4th time!

Had a bit of a brain wave today, a Monarch flight to Kos on Wedensday was operated by a Boeing 757, does this mean MON1288 will be a 757 or is it still an A321. Also sticking on similer topic, arent Monarch leasing a BMI A321.
Hope it stays blue.

Can’t comment on the first part, however Monarch are not as far as I know leasing an A321 from bmi but actually taking one -ex bmi (G-MIDE) from the lessor. This will become G-OZBL, it was due in April.

I flew on G-EOMA to Tenerife in 2003 and it was a very nice aircraft, seating was very basic and only PTV’s in premium economy.
I was hoping for an A330 on the return, unfortunatley G-MONR a battered A300 rolled up.
