Monarch Airlines

There are a myriad of airlines to whisk you off around Europe and beyond - EasyJet and Air Lingus are, perhaps, the most well-known of the cheap and cheerful flight operators. However, the airline I'd like to introduce to you today is "Monarch Airlines".

Monarch may not the first name which springs into your head when looking for a flight, none the less, Monarch Airlines shouldn't be ruled out. Serving a good selection of destinations around Europe - and a few beyond - Monarch Airlines operate out of all the popular airports: Gatwick, Luton, Manchester, Leeds Bradford, East Midlands and Birmingham.

This Monarch Airlines flight leaves Gatwick

I can vouch for Monarch Airlines, as we have recently taken the family for a well-earned holiday in Lanzarote, and decided to fly with Monarch from London Gatwick.

The flights were easily booked online. And the seats can be reserved too - handy when taking a holiday with the family, so everyone can sit together.

Checking-in can also be performed on-line - which means less hassle at the airport. There were no queues at the "bag drop-off", and as we'd checked in online, the whole procedure took less than 5 minutes.

When flying from Gatwick, Monarch operate from the south terminal. Should you have a flight at silly-o'clock in the morning, and need to stay in a hotel the night before your flight, you can easily stay at a north terminal hotel because a mono-rail runs between the north & south terminal 24 hours a day. This shuttle only takes 2 minutes, so there isn't any inconvenience: for those really early morning flights where a hotel is needed, may I recommend the Premier Inn Gatwick Airport. This hotel is only a one minute walk from the airport - so no transfer buses to worry about.
