Commenting on the launch of summer 2009 flights and the
introduction of services from Birmingham, managing director
of Monarch's scheduled services, Liz Savage said, "It is fantastic
that we have been able to publish next summer's schedule at
this early stage, which will enable people to get a head start
on their holiday plans for next year. "We are also delighted to
be expanding our network to the Eastern Mediterranean with
the launch of services to Cyprus from Birmingham. We have
seen overwhelming demand for our services from Luton,
Gatwick and Manchester and have been inundated with
requests from the public to introduce services to Cyprus
from Birmingham. I am sure that the people of the Midlands
will warmly welcome the introduction of this service offering
them a greater choice of direct flights and low fares. "Monarch's
onboard service is also perfectly placed for the four and a half
hour flight time, with extra leg room seating, inflight
entertainment - including full length feature films and the
provision of hot and cold food all available"
Monarch operates scheduled flights to Spain, Gibraltar, Portugal
and Cyprus from Birmingham, London Gatwick, London Luton
and Manchester airports and was named as Leisure Airline of the
Year in recent Travel Industry Awards for the second year
in succession. In addition to year-round low fares, Monarch also
offers a unique range of tasty hot and cold meals onboard with
prices from £3.00. Seats can be pre-booked at £6 per one-way
flight to avoid the last minute free-for-all experienced on some
other airlines, or from only £15, extra-legroom seats are available,
which offer up to six inches of extra space. Regular travellers are
rewarded too, with a range of benefits through the airline's
loyalty scheme, Vantage Club. Passengers travelling on scheduled
flights can also avoid the queues at the airport and take advantage
of online check-in which is available between seven days and 4.5
hours prior to departure.
