Monarch Airlines Airbus A320 200 seat review by dianecomer22@hotmail.com #30118

WE CHOSE SEATS 9A & 9B BEFORE FLYING TO LANZAROTE AND 10A AND 10B FOR THE RETURN FLIGHT ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT WE WOULD BE FLYING ON AN AIRBUS A321 ON BOTH JOURNEYS. AS EXPECTED WE HAD GENEROUS LEG AND TRAY ROOM ON THE OUTWARD JOURNEY BUT THE RETURN JOURNEY WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AS THE PLANE WAS AN AIRBUS A300. MY HUSBAND HAD TO SIT SIDEWAYS TO ACCOMODATE HIS KNEES AS A RESULT OF WHICH MY KNEES AND SHOULDER WERE CRAMPED INTO THE WINDOW AREA FOR MOST OF THE JOURNEY. COULDN'T FEASABLY GET UP TO STRETCH OUR LEGS AS PASSENGER 10C WAS FAST ASLEEP. DIDN'T DARE TO RECLINE SEATS AS THIS WOULD HAVE IMPACTED ON THE PASSENGERS DIRECTLY BEHIND.MOST UNCOMFORTABLE JOURNEY FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
