I was just thinking because although I can sometimes get the extra legroom at check-in, a lot of the time when you get there they say that it has been fullly booked all along and was never actually available at the check-in. I was mainly wondering if they are actually allowed to do this and whether anybody else has experienced it. Sorry I was a bit vague By the way, do Monarch offer the seat back ife in their A330's?
The majority of the time, extra legroom seats are pre-booked and allocated well before the flight checks-in. Some are sometimes held for the day of the flight in case they are needed. If they aren't, they will either be sold on the day at check-in or by cabin crew onboard.
I doubt it. The ones they have are in good nick for their age and they actually have a fair few more of the A321 type so I would have thought if they were going to get more aircraft it would be this one. And as boeing no longer make the 757 ( ) there will be no more new ones for anyone. If you have heard a rumor of this though then I would love to hear about it
I would expect that route to be operated by one of the short haul aircraft, so it would probably be 3-3 across as you said. Can you supply your flight number so that I can give you an exact aircraft type.
Just got a holiday price thre Thomas Cook and the flights are with Monarch, not been with Monarch for many years. Would you happen to know what type of plane it might be, if they are ok (sorry forgot to mention it would be August from Manchester) Thanks
No. The trouble is, the only replacement for a 757 is a 757! They'l be keeping some of the current 757's as long as possible. They have replaced some with A321's, but they can't cover longer flights such as Egypt from north of the country, ot operate out of hot / high / short runways like the 757 can. 757's are pretty rare on the second hand market and have been out of production for a while now.
hi we fly to tenerife in 2 weeks from manchester what plane will it be anyone been recently is it 3 an 3 across
Please quote flight numbers where posible. You're flights are operated by a Boeing 757-200 or Airbus A321-200 (most likely) so will be 3-3 with 28" seat pitch.
Do you know your flight numbers yet? There are several flights so it's difficult to say unless we know which one you are on. What are your dates of travel?
Hi Dazbo5, no not booked yet just got some prices today and it was a Monarch flight that came up with a Thomas Cook holiday was looking at 13 Aug about 10am from Manchester I think.
MAN-SSH-MAN departing 10am on 13th August 2009 (MON1286/7) is normally operated by an Airbus A300B4-605R. This is a wide-bodied jet configured 3-3-3 for the most part. You'll find a seating plan on Seat Guru. Seat pitch is 29-30".
Thanks very much - I see it now at the bottom of the page you linked to. While on the subject, what sort of plane will it be? MON4278 to Sharm on 15 Feb? Will the seating be 3-3?
