Leisure airline Monarch offers a wide choice of flights to 17 destinations throughout mainland Spain, the Balearic and Canary Islands, Portugal, Cyprus, Gibraltar and Turkey from key UK airports including Birmingham, London Gatwick, London Luton and Manchester. All flights are available to book online up to the end of October 2011, with fares starting from just £46.50 one way (£76.99 return), including all taxes and charges.

This winter season Monarch is expanding its flying programme by adding additional frequencies to existing routes as well as launching new winter services. New to the programme for winter 2010/11 is Majorca, with the airline now operating year-round flights from both Gatwick and Manchester. In addition, services to Alicante, Gibraltar, Menorca, Malaga and Gran Canaria will operate with higher frequencies during the winter months.

In addition to year-round low fares and convenient flight times, Monarch offers a unique range of hot and cold food that can be pre-booked or purchased onboard; from tasty cooked main meals to appetising hot snacks and fresh hand-made sandwiches.

To avoid the last minute free-for-all experienced on some airlines, seats can be pre-booked from £7.50 per one-way flight ensuring that families or travelling parties are seated together. There is also more extra legroom seating on scheduled services than any other low fares airline meaning customers can upgrade to a luxurious 34” extra legroom seat pitch from just £15 per person, per one-way flight.

Passengers travelling on scheduled flights can avoid the queues at the airport and check in from the comfort of their own home by taking advantage of the online check-in facility on the website, which is available between 18 days and four and a half hours prior to departure.
