Arrived at check in 3 1/2 hours before flight only to be told 'you'll be lucky to get seats near each other'- there were only two of us!

Once on board- an hour late, we found the seats were cramped and dirty, the 'entertainment' dreadful- repeats of 'Parkinson' and 'Top Gear'!? (return flight was 'Open All Hours'?!)

Food? Not sure what it was, but definitely not of the edible variety.

I will never fly Monarch again which is a shame because the cabin crew were fantastic! Caged hens have better working conditions than these poor souls yet they were very helpful and always smiling.
