Just at dalaman now waiting to board monarch.
Flight was due at 1pm but when I checked in said was at 2pm?
Flight out was ok and unlike TC they do still offer inflight movie, albeit for £2.50
Legroom normal for a charter flight, although you can obviously pay to get more (matron)

Hope they're ok.  We're flying out with them on Friday!!   :)

Have flown with them before but not to Dalaman and they were fine so hopefully everything still ok.

We flew with them but to Rhodes and they were bad and good. Bad because of a 6 hour delay!!! But the flight when it happened was on a most smart plane and really excellent staff. We were due at the hotel at 2am but arrived just in time for breakfast  :)

Can I remind the people who moan about delays that the aircfaft crew are just as delayed as they are. However they have about an hour to turn the aircraft round and then do the lousy four and a bit hours flight again [:(!]

I have tagged the following info onto this topic hope you don't mind.

Monarch airline as from may will be flying twice a week to Bodrum from Manchester, Gatwick, and Birmingham, from as little as 84 euro oneway including taxes, I know its no use if you want to fly direct to Dalaman but it does give you more choice, but before someone says it, yes I know that they already fly from the UK into Dalaman each week, but this could be a a good two center holiday break for some.

flew with them this week -  long delay on return.  Should have taken off at 22.00, finally took off just after 3.00am.   Not much fun, but felt sorry for the poor crew who had a very turbulant flight, had half an hour to turn round and fly back again.   Some of the passengers were getting rather grumpy at check in, but we chilled out, relaxed (made sure we grabbed one of the comfy arm chairs before anyone else could !!) and stayed calm.   Aircraft was new, service very good, so.....'Shirley Burley'   ;):D

We flew with them last year, and they were superb.  No problems at all.   :)

Oooh, and very cheap, as they had a promotional code on at the time!  Think there's a £50 off return flight code out at the moment with them, if you go onto their web page.  :D
