Monarch, I’ll keep a look out.

I don’t blame you for lowering fares when you don’t have to – indeed, you are entitled to make money!

As I said, I am totally unbiased when it comes to booking flights, so if they are indeed cheaper, I will fly with them.

Monarch, no offence, you might be low-cost operationally – but low-fares?

I keep checking fares to Gibraltar, and can never find anything for under 100 quid – sorry, but that ain’t my experience with Ryan or ezy, where I never pay more than 50 squid max.

I appreciate you can’t get your fares THAT low due to the higher “quality” of your service, but sheesh, I don’t give 2 hoots about who has superior quality or food or whatever…I just want CHEAP, CHEAP CHEAP!! I’m not sure Monarch should be placed with the LCCs – in fact, I AM sure – they shouldn’t!

Great thread, btw. Really interesting to see all these regional services sprouting up – great for pple who don’t live in the South, but as others have said, and as has already happened – I think consolidation might be on the cards!

cheerio!

uhhhh, why have such a stupid facility in the first place? It was tried on A.Net and utterly failed for various reasons.

I don’t think the ratings system benefits this board in any way….it’s like some silly 6-year old popularity contest…

Glad you enjoyed the ride. Let’s hope Ryanair open up some new routes from LPL in the future.

As for the snack trolley, I find it too pricey, so I do a BYO with food and a thermos of coffee (guess they think I’m an OAP or something… 😀 ).
