Must have missed this subject on the forum, but would like to add we always use Monarch, from Luton airport, as it is local to us, we have never had more than a half hour delay, I pick the seats on-line, and book in our luggage, meal etc. We have had several really good meals, with tea/coffee (not cordon bleu, but very acceptable.) If you book in online there is no queuing, and we have always had very good cabin staff, and as we like to sit in the front row if possible, we usually manage to have some banter with them.
