Answer 1

I've flown with Monarch before and it was awful, although i am flying with them again to Calgary in January 09 and not looking forward to it!

I am not sure what is going on today though-sorry!  Hope you eventually get away!

Answer 2

They are having problems this weekend at Monarch as they have run out of engines.

One of the Airbus A321 engines fell off somewhere near Faro early on Friday, the crew put the spare one on out of the baggage hold but it had a mouse in and did not work properly.  This aeroplane is impounded in Portugal now as the mouse had Rabies.

There is a knock on effect as Monarch are now two engines short, and some of the more full aeroplanes do really need both when they have a full load.

A new spare engine is being posted out to Portugal by the airline and should arrive there in September sometime.

Your holiday, however is ruined.  Go home now.

Answer 3

Fly a decent airline

Answer 4
