flyMonarch.com is to launch scheduled flights from Manchester to Cyprus next year as the airline expands its network to the Eastern Mediterranean in response to huge public demand. The introduction of the five times per week service that will operate direct from Manchester to Larnaca will offer travellers more flexibility and low fares than the high fare flag carriers and charter services that are currently available.
flyMonarch.com’s new Larnaca service will commence on Sunday 18 May 2008 and operate on Mondays, Tuesdays*, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays with fares from £78 one way including taxes and web booking discount (£147 return). Seats are available to book now on
www.flymonarch.com.
Commenting on the introduction of services from Manchester to Cyprus, managing director of flyMonarch.com, Liz Savage said, “We are delighted to be expanding our network to the Eastern Mediterranean with the launch of this service from Manchester, a market that has historically been dominated by the flag carriers and charter services.
“We have seen overwhelming demand for our service from London Luton to Larnaca, carrying 50,000 passengers on the route since its launch in March this year and have been inundated with requests from the public to introduce further services to Cyprus from our UK bases. I am sure that the people of the North-West will warmly welcome the introduction of this service from Manchester offering more choice of direct flights and low fares.
“flyMonarch.com’s onboard service is also perfectly placed to provide an ideal level of service for the five hour flight time, with extra leg room seating, inflight entertainment – including full length feature films and the provision of hot and cold food all available.”
flyMonarch.com operates scheduled flights to Spain, Gibraltar, Portugal and Cyprus from Birmingham, London Gatwick, London Luton and Manchester airports and was named as Leisure Airline of the Year in recent Travel Industry Awards for the second year in succession. In addition to year-round low fares, flyMonarch.com also offers a unique range of tasty hot and cold meals onboard with prices from £3.00. Seats can be pre-booked at £5 per one-way flight to avoid the last minute free-for-all experienced on some other airlines, or from only £15, why not try one of our 48 extra-legroom seats which offer up to six inches of extra space? Regular travellers are rewarded too, with a range of benefits through the airline’s loyalty scheme, Vantage Club.
Passengers travelling on scheduled flights can also avoid the queues at the airport and take advantage of online check-in which is available between seven days and 4.5 hours prior to departure.
