Francis Sammut: Sir i hope you are still as happy after you have tried the 'new' Monarch experience - you may find there are a few differences in the standard since the last time you used them..
I've been using them for quite a while now specially on the Luton /Larnaca route but they have just become too expensive with all the add ons. Good luck with Monarch.

@ Bernard Pollacco
some time ago when Ryanair was negotiating with Manchester Airport a spokesman for the airport came on t.v. and said "Ryanair has made us an offer we COULD refuse, and we did!"

There's another route crying out for competition with AirMalta - Brussels. The prices on this route are nothing short of daylight robbery and from my experience the flights are always full.
