Hi Ami, first of all you are so lucky to be going to Goa on Saturday.
Monarch arent that great, but just thinking of the fantastic destination you will reach at the end of your journey will make it all worthwhile.

I believe Monarch flights are non stop now (we were in January). There is not a lot of leg room so its a bit cramped and always big long queues to use the loos!!

Dont let any of this put you off cos it will be wonderful when you arrive in Goa, is it your first time?

Have a fantastic time, dont think about the flight, have a couple of glasses of wine before the flight and then maybe a wee sleep, will help make the journey go faster.

Enjoy and hope to hear all about i when you get back

yeh my first time! really cant wait
but im really fussy about flights etc but i'll live!
thanks alot for getting back to me

Lucky thing!

We've flown with Monarch to Goa 6 times now - yes...cramped...but we survived! We've had both...4 times straight through...twice stopped at Bahrain...which was a complete waste of time..MUCH sooner go direct! It was end November we went last...and that was a Bahrain stop.

We usually...naughty I know!....but have two Stugeron travel pills (we travel fine!)..and a couple of brandy and cokes....relaxs you enough not to care about the flight!

thanks alot for the reply I Travelled on A terrible flight to another part of india last year which has put me of any airlines at all it was terrible and im quite tall too which didnt help

Ami, you will very soon be another Goa Addict like the rest of us on here Cant wait to hear what you think when you get back.
have fun and take care

i need to stop reading some of these threads though! especially th 'vicious creatures' one!!
and thanks again will tell u all about it when back

If you are very tall and dont fancy the 29" leg room, if you get to Gatwick good an early, if there is any extra leg room seats left, you can purchace one at check in.It's £30 each way which is an absolute rip off but it does get you a seat at an emergency exit My wife is pretty tall and has long legs so when we fly Monarch we just grit our teeth and pay up At least it avoids hours of agony Alan

Hi ami, we travelled with Monarch in feb and it was one of best flights ive been on. So i think its luck as to which cabin crew you get. Have a fab holiday

Hi Ami

We have several pages of Monarch discussion HERE

Pippy
