it seems your the only aber who uses Monarch airlines. So could you tell me how the ticketing works. Is it the same format as ryanair. I ask because it seems impossible to print the boarding passes.
thanx pn

[Sqad]

piggy...seems that the site is down.
I will try again tomorrow.

[ummmm]

Piggy. I flew with them recently. You get an eticket and collect your boarding pass when you check in. I printed off the email but no one asked to look at it.

[piggynose]

thanx both of you

[ummmm]

And just to reassure you I phoned my booking agent because I had the same worry.

I fly with them regularly, hope you get one with the new style seating.

As Ummmmm says, it's just a matter of printing off the e-ticket

[Sqad]

Seems to be OK now:

Monarch co.uk.

Click ..On-line check in

Click Check -in Online

Email address and booking ref no.

Click..Find Booking.

that will give you your boarding pass which you can print out.

Present that at check-in if you have bags, but if you only have hand luggage then you can go directly to passport control.

[ummmm]

But not if he only has an e-ticket. With an e-ticket you don't check in on-line.

[piggynose]

monarch are taking the p, in order to print your boarding cards now, you have to pick and pay for a seat. and i thought ryanair were bad.

[Sqad]

piggy...well this is something new with Monarch.
Once you have booked on-line (with or without a seat booked) you then have a reference number with which you can print off as my post above has described.

[ummmm]

That didn't happen with us. Print the email....take it to the check in desk. Phone whoever you booked with.

[Sqad]

piggy.....I have just checked......you do NOT have to have a prepaid seat before being allowed to print your boarding card.

[piggynose]

sqad, i´ll try again, but it seems pointless, because every time i tried to print, a pop up box would remind me to choose my seats.

[Sqad]

piggy....ignore the pop up.....just carry on.

[piggynose]

phewwwwwwwwwwwww,
thanx for your patience, what a palaver. it was just a case of checking that box.
well at least i´ll know what to do in future.

[Sqad]

Well played piggy.

[piggynose]

the boarding card saga continues, well thats what it looks like. because when i got home and tried to print it, i didnt get the expected b.card, just another confirmation.

[Sqad]

piggy....if you read that "confirmation", you will find that it confirms your "boarding"....i.e that IS your boarding card.

[piggynose]

thanx sqad, i was expecting something similar to ryanairs b.pass.

[Sqad]

;-)

[ummmm]

Piggy...are you ignoring me and hc? It's an e-ticket, you take it to check in and they give you a boarding pass. I flew with them in May. I checked with my booking agent and I also checked at the airport.
