Monarch Airlines Passenger Seat Tip : 3rd July 2008
Economy Class : Airbus A321
If booking extra legroom seats, these are usually the first 6 rows and exit row 10, do not book row
1 because this is up against the bulkhead and you can't stretch your legs out, thus no advantage in
paying the extra charge.
Monarch Airlines Passenger Seat Tip : 1st November 2007
Economy Class : Airbus A330
Extra legroom seats on this aircraft are the row by the emergency exit; the seats, therefore, are
even narrower than the rest of the cabin. You pay extra to stretch out your legs but you have to be
small to actually fit in the seat in the first place! I will never fly Monarch again it is the most
uncomfortable flight I have ever had.

Economy Class : Airbus A320
Actually they do have an extra Legroom cabin, but to save the customers extra tax it is just sold as extra
legroom (35") well worth it. They do not sell all the seats so you usually end up with spare room
beside you. Also they serve from the galley first so you can get your meal choice.
Monarch Airlines Passenger Seat Tip : 18th October 2007
Economy Class : Boeing 757
Legroom best : 11B/C/D/E / 12A or 12F / 31B/C/D/E - do not accept 31A or 31F.
Monarch Airlines Passenger Seat Tip : 18th October 2007
Economy Class : Airbus A330
Myself, wife and partner were fortunate enough to be seated in Row 1. We paid for extra legroom (£15
each one way), on a flight to Rhodes. We also have a 21 month old son, so extra room was vital, as
he did not have a seat due to his age. The seat widths were diabolical, I'm a 36" waist and found it
a tight squeeze. A chap behind me actually suffered a panic attack, as he had no space whatsoever
and another guy was telling us how he developed a blood clot in his leg on the flight to Rhodes
which hospitalised him for most of his holiday! Even though we had the extra legroom, I would
never fly with this appalling airline ever again. I cannot
believe that so little room on an airline can still be legal. Always therefore ensure you "upgrade"
if you have to use this airline.
Monarch Airlines Passenger Seat Tip : 24th March 2007
Economy Class : Airbus A330
Just to confirm that it is worth the extra cash for a legroom seat, but if you are even slightly
above average build watch out for the aisle seats. They have the solid armrests. Combined with the
already tiny seat width, it can be a bit uncomfortable 9 hrs into a flight
Monarch Airlines Passenger Seat Tip
MONARCH SCHEDULED : ECONOMY
Pay for an extra legroom seat. Seat pitch in normal seats is so bad it is impossible to sit
comfortably in them. Avoid Emergency Exit window seats; there are no armrests on the side by the
window and for some reason the insulation is bad with visible frost and the side of your body next
to the window becomes very cold.
Monarch Airlines Passenger Seat Tip
ECONOMY / PREMIUM : Airbus 330
Ex Gatwick to the Maldives, check-in desks open 24 hrs before departure. To secure a preferred seat
you have to check in all luggage a day ahead. Being first in the queue on the day of travel gives
you no chance of a window seat, outbound or on the return. Economy is appalling - the seats are so
cramped that even cattle wouldn't be treated so badly. Premium is OK
Monarch Airlines Passenger Seat Tip
VARIOUS : Economy class
If you are 6ft in height do not contemplate flying Monarch Airlines out of London Gatwick.
My partner who is 6ft 2" cannot physically place his feet on the floor of the aircraft in
Monarch's 29" pitch seats.
