Info for Debs mostly, but just letting all know that Monarch have now changed the time of the return flight, as well as the outbound flight already changed since booking.

The outbound flight was a major change for me, what should have been a 15.40 departure, allowing for us to catch the train to the airport, was changed to a 06.00 departure... trains don't start running until 5 am and the journey time is an hour so it's a major alteration of plans.

However, the return flight isn't such a big deal. Departure should have been 11.30, now changed to 12.45. An hour extra in bed on departure day then

We rebooked with Monarch after jet2 cancelled our return flight. No changes as yet but its early days.

Both of ours changed Mark.

This was the original booking:


Flight Details:

Flight No. Depart Arrive
ZB 228 London Gatwick (LGW) Wed 26 Sep 2012 15:40 Majorca (Palma) (PMI) Wed 26 Sep 2012 18:45
ZB 229 Majorca (Palma) (PMI) Wed 10 Oct 2012 19:45 London Gatwick (LGW) Wed 10 Oct 2012 21:00



changed to these times on 23rd Nov.

26Sep12 ZB 224 London Gatwick 06:00 Palma de Mallorca 09:05

10Oct12 ZB 225 Palma de Mallorca 10:05 London Gatwick 11:20

They obviously cancelled the original flights debs, the flight numbers are different.

So, we are on the same outbound anyway. We'll have to arrange a shared transfer (Galitrans?) nearer the time.

Don't get Mick to book it for us, I prefer a Merc, not a beat up Toyota

Do you have to check in on line with Monarch like ryanair?

I have only just noticed the flight no change TBH :n!b:

Yes, we will arrange joint transfer, will also have to meet up at Gatwick & have a pre holiday cuppa......or beer

Have you got seat no's? I am sure we are row 6 both ways.

We have prebooked seats roamer so it wouldn't make a difference to us - not sure otherwise

Just checked and we have seat numbers so I guess RM prebooked them.

I've not flown Monarch for a while so I don't know if you book in on line, - although I'd assume so. Most of them have this facility now.

Yes Debs, we've pre-booked seats, row 4, E & F both ways. Also have booked the meals (I have to eat in the morning and take tablets. Think I've explained this before)

A pre-flight beer? At 5 am? I might have to watch

I think our flight for our up and coming hol leaves about 7.00am and RM has his sights set on a Witherspoons brekkie with complimentary pint

We are 6 E & F Yeah, maybe coffee at that time of the morning :n!b: didn't think about times

Don't think I've booked food, although may change that as its now so early

Can't remember offhand Mark, is it North or South terminal

I will have you know Mark, that a young lady in a brand new Merc picked us up for the Departure flight.

Monarch are South Terminal Debs

Thanks Mark, we used them in May last year but couldn't remember.

Off to book brekkie now I think


Mick, Galitrans must have felt sorry for you
