Around this time last year I asked fellow A.nutters for help with route information for Monarch Airlines' A300-600s during the 2009 season. I hoped to be able to use this information to finally get on an A300, however due to various financial institutions losing all of my money in 2009 (cheers, guys!), nothing was booked.
So, guess what?
I am hoping for your help again with the 2010 schedule please.
Obviously things can change from now so if you'd like then just drop me a line and I can re-check whatever flight you are looking at nearer the time. Also I needn't say this but obviously these are only the outbound flights; the AB6 also operates all of the returns too. Just add 'one' to the last digit of the flight number.

That's very useful information, thanks! The A300 is still on my wish list so I guess I have to fly AMS-LGW-AGP-AMS or something like that. On what routes are the A300's currently deployed untill the end of March?

No problems! The A300 is on charter flights from both bases until the summer season so not really much hope for you before then.

Any ZB A300's operating out of LTN this summer?
The last few summers they seem to flown W routes 2 or 3 times a week with LGW or MAN based aircraft to PMI and AGP...
Its the only bit of widebodied metal LTN seems to get these days other than the occassional 767 for maintenance...

I have to wait until the summer season I guess. How about the remaining 3 757's? What routes are/will they flying on?

I've been lucky enough to have been on both MON and AA operated A300s, MON was from IBZ-LGW and was a sustitution and we had plenty of room with great cabin crew, a good few years ago and a memorable flight.
Quoting Yendig (Reply 6): Brilliant. Thanks for your help, Myt.
No problems, hope you manage to catch your ride this year!

Not bad going, you've got to love a flight sub. I can see here that Monarch have on occasion subbed in the AB6 a few times this season as well.

Flew on a ZB A300 a couple of years ago. The one thing I remember is the old TV at the front of the cabin, with a curved screen. It must have been about as old as the plane. I havn't seen one of those for years. Do they still have them onboard?
