Monarch flight .Nearly empty

Feelthevibe · Dec 20th, 2007, 18:29

Maybe people voted with their feet when the fiasco started and booked elswhere ?

Thats what i cant understand, why would they cancel flights when its easy to get your visa now.
The shack on the beach i usually go on usually is packed this time of year,but the owner text me and said only 20 people in the shack.

Yes, it is very "quite" as they say.

Fantastic news!

Sorry for the buissness owners, but for me it sounds sweeeet!

You can still find a quiet beach in Goa any time of year. I think its very bad news. Plus there will be even less women for me to be unsuccessful with LOL

I think a lot of businesses are having a tough time this season.The shack owners can have as many sun beds as they need on the beach at the moment, but its still being looked at to have 6 sun beds a shack.

This is encoraging for me howeer i arrive on the 30th with no accomidation booked - i know not the best thought through of idea's but it was a case of go now or I likely never willand i wasn't about to settle for this.

Hopefully i will be able to find something at Baga for the 3 or 4 days over and into the new year.

Hmf, the fares on Monarch's site for Feb / Mar are still 550 quid and above though. Hope they drop a bit.

mardon · Dec 20th, 2007, 22:14

Air fares are a joke. Remember you've got the extra tax on it now. I'd recommend a package deal with allocated on arrival dorm house. Works out cheaper. You don’t even have to use the dorm house. Go figure??

My Tours are a better flight than Monarch flights.You get much more leg room with My Tours .

burf · Dec 21st, 2007, 11:17

i heard from a firang friend that the fare from london is around 200

patti123 · Dec 21st, 2007, 14:59

Burf .Was that a one way ticket for £200. I thought there be lots of cheap flight tickets around after Christmas for my friend but cant find any .

malcno · Dec 22nd, 2007, 04:17

don't think visas are a problem anymore i've just got mine back in less than 2 weeks

The Most probable reason for the empty seats are that Monarch have the worse reputation of all long haul flights from the uk weve flown only once with them and for that reason we will NEVER fly with them again they are lousy seats are cramped staff are ignorant so if people do have a choice which is now a case going to goa then they would be last on the list
