Monarch Airlines stopping long haul flights from April 2015
bbc/news/business-28833343
Uh oh - have booked a Cosmos package to Florida for next July - I just rang Cosmos - they have no official announcement to go on yet so couldnt tell me anything except they will 'try' and book you onto another airline. Have to wait & see - hope they don't cancel it - we got a bargain. |

There's a couple of threads already running somewhere.
Monarch said last year they were pulling out of charter flying, to concentrate of shorthaul scheduled flights, so longhaul was going to go. It was obvious before that though. They cancelled their Dreamliner order 3 years ago, so signalled their intent re longhaul then. Monarch put a press release about it on their website last week. |

Really? I wish I'd known this before I booked - Cosmos were quite happy to take my booking...

Best bit about Monarch for short haul is their 737s are being refurbed with new non-reclining seats. Makes the cabin much more spacious for shorter flights

UPDATE
Well this is what they have just said to me ... Monarch/Cosmos systems have been updated and since then they have not been allowed to sell any summer 2015 holidays with Mon code for greece etc online She then went on to say that after this summer season finished in october that is when next years will be available online ...she also said if you wish to book over the phone you can but how is this possible as they cant get greece up either.(which i should of said but didnt) Then she said my booking was fine and i had nothing to worry about to which i said will it not change with there not going to be any MON flights ? To which her reply was possibly to a scheduled flight but hopefully not too much incovienience ... so basically they dont know and i am still non the wiser

I tried making a dummy booking for my same holiday earlier and flights are still showing as Monarch. You can go ahead and book - I think its wrong that they are still taking bookings for these holidays.
You can even search and book flight only with Monarch to Florida! If you fancy taking a chance that you will be bumped onto a Virgin flight etc it may be worth booking them as they are quite cheap |
