Monarch airlines delays

[teetee]

Am sitting at Gatwick waiting to board a 17.40 flight which will not at the moment take off until 20.15.

It the past we used to use the either KTHY when they were around and either Thomas Cook or Easyjet. This year we have booked mostly with Monarch and so far we have had a delay most times. My question is are Monarch flight quite often delayed because if so I will go back to the others who from memory reliable.

Members comment would be good.

They are short staffed at the mo and are currently recruiting.

Is that why out of the 3 out of the 4 flights out this evening are delayed or are they just poor though?

I think you are just unlucky, I think we have flown eith them all at sometime and experienced a delay; unfortunately it is part and parcel to travel.

Some neighbours went back with Monarch a couple of weeks ago. Should have landed at Luton, but diverted to Stansted & bused to Luton, they didn't find that very amusing given that they had originally tried to book the Stansted flight, as it's nearer to their home, but were told it was full

Our friends were delayed 4+ hours in June. A necessary part had to be flown out from UK

My daughter works for them so I'm just telling it as it is. Her Manchester flight to join me yesterday landed 15 minutes early.

Flown with Monarch, Birmingham to Dalaman the last three times.  No problems once on the plan but have been delayed 2hours each time coming back.

In May we had two flight changes prior to going and a two hour delay on our return flight but we have re-booked with them for September.
