When is it you are travelling? MAN-SSH-MAN are operated by; MON4952/3 - Airbus A300B4-605R, TOM818/9 - Boeing 757-200 (winglets from 1st April). You'll find further aircraft information on our What aircraft? guide (see below).

MAN-LCA-MAN (ZB648/9) are operated by an Airbus A321-200. It's way too early to know the registration assigned to the flight. We'll know the day before.

razza923,

Whatever is available at the time! Probably another A321-200 or 757-200 or maybe even an A300B4-605R depending on the day.

thanks darren,
we are hoping to travel 25th feb but we are unsure who to book with thomsons or monarch. have been looking at reviews on monarch not very good especially the size of seats!!!! should we pay extra & go with thomsons who we have been with many times & pay extra to reserve seats & hope we can get seats together with a window seat or should we try monarch and get to airport early for the seats at rear which are 2 across. your thoughts on this would be appreciated.
many thanks

sundreaming,

Ultimately, it's personal preference and comes down to cost and what suites you best. On comparable aircraft, there's no difference in seat pitch between the two airlines. If anything, the A300 will give you slighyly more room than TOM's 757. You can't choose seat numbers with Monarch, but you can as you know with TOM (at a charge unless on a select holiday). It's not something I can answer for you really.

thanks darren for your quick response, as you said it comes down to personal preference, but you have helped us, as you said there isnt any difference between the two in size. once again many thanks

Hi,

We're planning on flying BHX - DLM on flight ZB908, departing on 2nd October.

Is it known at this stage what type of aircraft will be used?

Regards,

Ron

Hi. I am travelling from Birmingham BHX to Faro with Monarch on 18th March flight ZB402. I am very claustrophobic and consequently loathe flying but being next to the boarding exit is a tremendous help. Can anyone advise if on the above flight boarding is from the front or the middle of the aircraft. The airlines say this varies but in my experience most flights are quite consistent.

Welcome onboard :tup
It depends if you're on a remote stand or a jet bridge. Boarding would normally be from the L2 door (just in front of the wing) at BHX but it could be the L1 or L2 door in Faro. ZB402/3 are operated by an Airbus A320-200. We have a FEAR OF FLYING ... what is it, how to overcome it, Q&As thread that you may find useful.

Please can someone tell me what type of plane MON7092 is - September flight to Bodrum?
Reply
lanzafan,

Please supply all your flight details when requesting aircraft information, eg where you are you flying from and on what date? MON7092/3 are scheduled to be operated by a Boeing 757-200 between 3rd May 2010 and 25th October 2010.
