2008 News Archive - Flights - Monarch Scheduled ranks highest with passengers to Portugal

17 03 2005

Independent research conducted by consumer watchdog Holiday Which? has revealed low cost airline, Monarch Scheduled, to be the carrier of choice for people travelling to Portugal.

The study, based on 27,000 members’ replies, found that Monarch Scheduled was the airline most recommended of all those flying to Portugal. In addition, the airline was ranked third most popular to Spain.

Commenting on the findings, sales and marketing director Jonathan Crick said “Monarch Scheduled’s programme to Portugal continues to go from strength to strength with the addition of our daily Gatwick-Lisbon service in May. Being voted the most popular airline to Portugal by such a discerning group of consumers is one of the greatest accolades we could have received. We’re flattered that Monarch Scheduled is held in such high regard for its services to both Spain and Portugal which represents the core of our network and we remain committed to providing our winning formula of low fares combined with great service.”

Monarch Scheduled operates flights to Spain, Gibraltar, Portugal and Italy from London Gatwick, London Luton, Manchester and Birmingham. Prices start from just £30 one way including taxes (£47 return including taxes). Fares include complimentary daily newspapers and in-flight entertainment and a refreshing hot towel service. Seats can be pre-booked to avoid the last minute free-for-all. Regular travellers are rewarded too, with a range of benefits through the airline’s loyalty scheme Vantage Club.
