Booked flights months ago to Hurghada,checked in online 60 days before flight .Took less than 3 minutes to drop off hold baggage 02/12/2014 for flight ZB770 Hurghada. Priority boarding meant just that.Long leg seats worth every penny. As we are both Scuba Divers Monarch honoured the Free 5kgs extra hold baggage allowance each. Aircraft departed on time arrived early in a Hurghada .Flight Crew kept us informed of route and. Cabin Crew were friendly and nothing seemed too much trouble. On 30/12/2014 ZB771 Hurghada /Gatwick, Cabin and Flight Crew also first class. Only moan,booked hotel pre flight and had breakfast. Booked lounge and had breakfast food again as nothing else on offer. In my day pax meals were based on next meal at destination,so we were expecting lunch half way on flight,but had the worst breakfast ever shortly after departure..Meal on return flight was almost as bad,in our opinion pre booked meals are a no no. The snack menus in our opinion were far superior. How ever ,that is the only moan we had ,everything else was First Class. Well done Monarch.we are looking forward to our next.Hurghada flight (minus pre booked meals)
