Monarch Scheduled makes it easier to find those low cost flight gems

Low cost airline Monarch Scheduled has just launched a brand new feature on its website www.flymonarch.com, enabling passengers to view the lowest fares currently available to a range of top European destinations.

The ”bargain hunter” window gives visitors to the website a quick and easy reference to the lowest fares currently available to a range of Monarch Scheduled sunshine and citybreak destinations. Passengers can then pick their preferred flights from those listed and bag their bargain with the easy-to-use booking tool on the site. This new feature is just one click away from the homepage and the list is updated every weekday to ensure it’s as current as possible.

Great deals listed on bargain hunter right now include Manchester to Naples on 14 September 05 for just £6.13 one way and Gatwick to Lisbon on 24 August for just £10.03 one way!*

Jonathan Crick, sales and marketing director of Monarch Scheduled said “The launch of ‘bargain hunter’ means we can offer an enhanced service to passengers looking for our lowest fares. Rather than searching through many different dates and routes they can simply click on this feature and be presented with details of dates, routes and the lowest fares currently available. Passengers looking for great value short breaks tell us that low fares are their first priority when booking flights, so the introduction of this feature was a natural step to take and will be welcomed by the increasing market of spontaneous travellers on the look out for the best low cost getaways.”

Monarch Scheduled operates flights to Italy, Spain, Gibraltar and Portugal from Birmingham, London Gatwick, London Luton and Manchester. Fares include complimentary daily newspapers and a refreshing hot towel service; also available is a unique range of tasty hot and cold meals with prices from £2.50. Seats can be pre-booked at £5 per one-way flight to avoid the last minute free-for-all and regular travellers are rewarded too, with a range of benefits through the airline’s loyalty scheme Vantage Club.
