@minikin2020

I have just read this, it looks like you'v had the life that i aspire to have! I'm 18 now and have just finished my First Diploma in Travel and Tourism and can't seem to get even a little job in a shop for some customer service experience! I would love to walk into an airline! Could you give me some advice or tips on how to go about getting into Cabin Crew? I would one day love to work for Virgin but Monarch would suit me well for my first job. Thanks!! (:

[regnig99]

The favourite airline that we used. Don't see many from Edinburgh these last couple of years, have they stopped flying from here? What about Glasgow, anyone know?

[Busujimiya]

I just went work experience to a monarch branch in luton I helped fix some floorboards and the wings :D

[Ellisf1]

Cool.My first flight was with Monarch, on a 757 from Glasgow to Lanzarote in 1994

[roseipk]

The Best...!!

[taylormadejoe]

I aspire to be a pilot for Monarch.

[taylormadejoe]

Flying their 6 Boeing 787's.

[scotchyl]

i hate to say this but the 757's are staying, the 767 is going. what with delays the 787's probably wont arrive so alternate A330's and 737 800 LR will arrive. ps my dads photo of the snow de icing is in their when they did the lapland flight.

[TheLofty97]

have you seen the new A380 at Manchester monarch are thinkin of buying one

[dangould2000]

@TheLofty97 interesting.... where are you getting you information?

[Aviationnation10]

@TheLofty97 no way in hell will they buy one where did you hear that bullshit

[costateguise]

@TheLofty97 I work for Airbus...and I can assure you thats a rumour.

[Aviationnation10]

please uptate your fleet monarch

[Aviationnation10]

monarch have all ancient planes

[JoeyTaffy]

@Aviationnation10 Monarch operate a fleet of modern aircraft. The A32x series isn't ancient nor is the A330, the 757's are probably the oldest aircraft in their fleet. So research before making comments ike that.

[Aviationnation10]

@JoeyTaffy modern! there a320s are 14.5 years average a321 8.2years a330s 11.2years a300 19.8 years and 757s 22.4! thats nor modern

[JoeyTaffy]

@Aviationnation10 You mean old, not modern, the aircraft them selves are considered modern, the age on the other hands is OLD, not CLASS (opposite to modern, I'm sure you know)... Example of a classic, Boeing 737-200. ¬_¬ Please think correctly before commenting like that.

[Aviationnation10]

@JoeyTaffy what they are old there not new so the opposite is old!

[xxxdazzaxxx]

Monarch airways baby, manchester check in :)

[ryonni123]

Monarch airlines is the best airline i have ever flown by. food and stuff is great. i hope to be a flight attendant for them when im older.

[19benjani19]

@ryonni123 same, i wanna be a pilot for them though! Im taking my pilots license at the moment!

[roseipk]

Monarch....the only airline these days that really cares...I have flown with them for many years..no complaints..only praise. well done Monarch....always my first choice..!!

[amyb747]

2:15 Minutes I love that photo!!

[ntl06]

no such thing as a 767-800 lol, maybe you meant 787-8?? anyway, it doesn't matter how old an aircraft is, it's the cabin configuration that matters.

[TopGunPilot01]

Love Monarch! Flew with them back in 2007 on the 757-200 with the kandi livery. Going to Dalaman on friday with them so im looking forward to flying with them again on the 757. I also would like to try and be a pilot for them when im older.

[furni579]

Monarch

I flew with last year only 16 planes hardly no leg room would appreciate if they would be newer plane like an Boeing 767-800 or something the planes have been rotting for 20 years mind if Airbus A320 was an monarch with no tvs in chairs at least It would have more bars and stuff better food

[FSXpilot94]

I love Monarch and i hope 2 be a pilot 4 them :)

[TopGunPilot01]

Same here!

[FSXpilot94]

Hah cool, good luck :)

[TopGunPilot01]

Thanks!!! You too!

[futureholidayrep]

i love monarch, in the future i hope to be a holiday rep for them! :)

[DjHardaFasta]

No offence intended here! but i flew to florida on the a330 and it was appualing! im 6ft i had no leg room what so ever and the seat infront of me was too close and no tv in the back of your seat!

Stop wasting money on stupid liveries when they could be spending it to upgrade there cabins!!!!!!

[regnig99]

Well dangould2000, said i was using Globespan, they were ok by the way except, i was charged £40 extra for my suitcase supposedly being over the limit, strange as i'd say it was the same weight as when i go anywhere! The check-in staff at Palma could do with a lesson in manners towards people, and i was charged 60e for the o/w suitcase on return, asked twice where i've to pay this, they just pointed in a general direction, the wrong way! Still, the bacon panini was nice. Monarch still wins tho!

[85damipe]

I work for Monarch as Cabin Crew and love it...amazing job with a great company :)

[dangould2000]

at one point i planned to work for Monarch, but i'm not sure where to go in this current economy.

[85damipe]

ive worked for them a few years now...i think we are safe!! You should apply :)

[dangould2000]

i appreciate the enthusiasm, and believe me i would like to join, but whether ZB are actually hiring and whether i'd be getting a temp or a permanant contract makes all the difference.

[duclaw1987]

@85damipe i'm going for an interview soon, anything i should know?

[costateguise]

@duclaw1987 Erm...well all the information you need to know will be online. However an interview for what? An airline has hundreds of positions. If your interviews coming up...you should pull your finger out now. They dont take just anyone.

[furni579]

Last year i flyed with monarch but we need a match

Delta vs Monarch because delta has more priveladges because they have individual tvs built in with freeview i think monarch should have that!!!

[dangould2000]

well that'll never happen, Delta and Monarch are totally different airlines Monarch is a small charter airline with some scheduled service to popular holiday destinations, whereas Delta Air Lines is the largest airline in the world. slight difference wouldn't you say.........

[YesZowie]

i love Monarch i fly with them every year when i go to cyprus and i always feel safe on them i think there one of the best planes going and i always go on them :D

[vardyvardy]

I'm flying with Monarch in June! Can't wait. Everyone says they're the best!

[ThomsonFly12331]

same here :) flyin to Egypt-Hurghada cant wait either. June 17th :)

[dangould2000]

im so glad that many people hold Monarch with such high esteem

and regnig 99, good luck with globespan, but i doubt anything wil compare. :)

[regnig99]

Thanks dangould2000, i was originally booked to fly with Air Europa but they changed the flight time to an evening flight meaning i'd pretty much lose a day of my holiday. We've friends going to the same area on the same day, they always seem to use Globespan and i hoped when i booked i'd be on the same flight but ended up with AirEuropa instead! Their flight was 6am, ours was 9am then moved to 5pm, wasn't happy so managed to get the booking changed to theirs, now..i'm happier!

[dangould2000]

wow, what a way for a company to tarnish themselves before you even get a taste of their in-flight service.

(you should've booked ZB, hehe

[regnig99]

Since my last post on this video, i've also used ThomasCook Airlines January (09). I'm now about to use Flyglobespan in a few weeks, Monarch so far have still been the best airline with Thomsonfly next and ThomasCook last, Flyglobespan will have a lot to live upto to convince me Monarch isn't still the best, the others haven't so far

[Lcfc225]

Monarch is my favourite airline at this momemt - they are far better than Thomson.

I am going on Virgin this year for the first time and I am expecting big things from them as Sir Richard Branson is my idol.

[cherryice10]

im not a big fan of monarch their entertainment is very poor the prices for small canned drinks are a bit to much seats dont have enough legroom but apart form those things monarch is ok to fly with

[jacktheman27]

Whats This Song Called?

[joem099]

[dangould2000]

[NavigatorProductions]

[joem099]

[thomsonfly645k]

[MrAnnonumous]

[EuroDC1990]

Wonderful airline, flown with them many times and they've always been great.

[bjwigglworth]

[dannyman1995]

Just to say i remembered in my last comment it was an Airbus A330-300.

[adamski895RS]

monarch dont have a a330-300

[dannyman1995]

Thats what the safety card said

[dangould2000]

they've got the A330-200

[Topguned]

Yes they do.... I work for them

[adamski895RS]

they have a a330-200 not a a330-300..

[regnig99]

Hi there, love this video and the music in particular, can anyone tell me who sings it and the title of the song please? Thanks in advance!

[dangould2000]

it's sung by Russell Watson

[escfan2008]

Monarch is the best UK airline ever!!

[ba2775]

i have been on three monarch flights from gatwick to faro x2 and paphos and have never had a bad flight they are the best!!!!

[jackthejunky]

lol dude im flying by monarch tomoz to teneryf lol dunno how u spell but you no wen u get excited about holiday, u no i look at vids on monarch just to get in the mood lol good vid man GO MONARCH!!!!!!!!!!

[dannyman1995]

i think they are a brilliant airline i flew on an A321 from Gatwick to Diagros (Rhodes).

And My First Time On A Plane Was On Monarch so They Are A Special Airline To Me anyway.

[dangould2000]

monarch were the first for me too!

i flew on a 757-2T7 BHX-MAH,

the good old colours back in 2000

[dannyman1995]

I Flew In 2004 With The New Livery. Celeb Air is Part Of Glorious MONARCH

[dangould2000]

i liked celeb air, would have liked it more if they were real celebs :P

[dannyman1995]

i didn't really see it but when i was going on holiday in sept i saw one taxying for takeoff. I think Monarch arebenefiting from it financially like advertisement.

[bmemodels07]

We need MORE Monarch 1:400 models !

[landroversrs1]

I was with a retired Monarch Captain today, who used to fly the Bristol Britania's also Boeing 720's & BAC 1-11's, he also went onto the 757's, in fact he delivered one of the first 757's from the USA G-MONB.

In the days of the Bristol Britania it used to be an 8 day tour to do the OZ run!

Most enjoyable he informed me.

I flew with monarch in 1979 on one of their 720's from luton, it still is one of my most memorable flights.

I have now done 25 years in Aviation, Airside Ops.

[regnig99]

Used Monarch Airlines in August 2007 from Edinburgh to Palma, Majorca. Didn't pre-book in-flight meals but they gave us them anyway. I was offered extra leg-room,i said it was ok but they gave me a great seat anyway. Used them 4 weeks ago (Sept 08)to go to Benidorm, again given meals without ordering them when booking. Used Thomsonfly in June 2008 to go back to Alcudia, flight was good but wasn't offered food on flight. I've found Monarch to be one of the best from what i've been told by friends

[dangould2000]

fab! 1 of monarch's many happy customers :)

[jpestrada1]

nice video,great fleet, gree airline.

73 captain

[disneyuk2000]

I think monarch is one the best airlnes in the uk i Flew with easy jet to turkey this year it was the Horrible flight i ever been on so next year i am sticking to monarch airlines

[aidanval]

to be honest i didnt really like flying monarch

[dangould2000]

in hindsight, the standards that i used to be accustomed to are practically none existent these days, and it is quite disappointing that over the years, monarch has gradually taken away all of the perks it once had.

But that said, Monarch is still a damn sight better than other lo-co airlines these days.

(oh god, look at me going on, lol, but trust me, i work for a low cost airline and compared to Monarch...............Monarch wins everytime.)

[shane3455]

u old bat

[charlieclover12]

it a bloody good airline

[charlieclover12]

best airline ever cheap and afforedable

[lrjs93]

this video is really goood :D. My dad is a flies for Monarch, he is a first officer. :) He has worked for them for about 10 years i think. I love Monarch aswell. :) Great Video

[prjeo]

have they crashed? i like monarch! i always fly with them,but i was wondering if they ever crashed .....?

[dangould2000]

Nope, never ever crashed,

i flew with them yesterday, it was great, great crew, great service, great! :p

[rosiebear35]

flying with monarch to sanford in october, anyone flown this route/long haul with them before, what plane do they use for this flight, feedback, good or bad!!, would be appreciated.

[dangould2000]

where from?

if it's Gatwick then, usually the A330-200

if it's Manchester, then it could be either the 767-300 or the A330-200 but if it's anywhere else or if the scheduled plane is grounded, then you could quite possibly see yourself on the A300-600R and youll be flying to sanford via Newfoundland!

Hope this helps :)

[shane3455]

very good i advise anyone to flymonarch WELL DONE MONARCH I STILL HOPE STIL ARUOND WEN MY CHILDREN GROW UP WELL DON MONARCH

[shane3455]

[rosiebear35]
