Monarch - you could not make this up!
Discussion
i too have heard of monumental foul-ups concerning Monarch but for many years they were the low-cost carrier to the Southern Caribbean (so obviously my carrier of choice) and i never had a problem at all. to be honest, my passenger "experience" at the time was better than either of the alternatives (BA or Virgin).
probably not Monarch's fault but we speak often of the one that lined itself up, or was guided to, Store Bay Local Road. SBLR runs parallel to the runway but, as the name suggests, this is a "local" road resembling a runway only in it's proximity to a terminal building and it's linear properties.

Ryanair have 2x Learjet 45s for rapid crew/engineering/parts deployment. They operate on the callsigns RYR1 and RYR2.
They also have a Boeing 737 with a corporate interior for private hire.
Think they've got 3 LJ's now. They also have a Boeing 737 with a corporate interior for private hire.

Seems they're having a bit of difficulty at the moment.

I used to like monarch but since the cabin redesign I have never used them again, the seats and legroom are awful and the last time we flew someone managed to board the plane on a PDF on a mobile.... Granted it was the airports fault for letting them through but the cabin crew allowed them to fly.
Jet2 are the best and worst, never on time and the only carrier where we had to change planes for a technical fault and on the return it was cancelled due to bad weather, however we were on coaches and in a hotel very quickly and they were much more organised than other carriers. However Ryanair seemed to be the only planes landing and taking off.

Sounds a nightmare. I'm an independent traveller and generally don't mind when I get stuck in a South American hellhole for 24hrs because generally I've put myself there, but to be stuck where I can't sort it out myself would do my head in.
I feel sorry for the staff in these kind of situations because troubleshooting is the worst thing in the world, and it sounds like a collection of unfortunate circumstances that have conspired. But still s
te for the passengers in the midst of it!

te for the passengers in the midst of it!I fel the OP's pain but where would they suddenly get extra staff from to deal with this? Presumably as 200 people were due to leave, another 200 were coming into the resort who also need to be dealt with...simple triage would push towards sorting out the newcomers first. After all, they've already had the OP's money...
Hi nothing as bad as any more of these posts but I always pre book seats so the kids can sit at the windows and a parent next to them.
Last flight however the person at the end of the aisle refused to move as it was an able bodied exit seat or whatever they call it and she had a broken foot even with the insistence of the cabin crew
After some huffing and puffing I swapped seats and thus we lost 2 of our seats.
T&C's state
Please note: Seat numbers are not guaranteed. What you are pre-booking is a seat type, standard or extra legroom.
Assume it's not worth asking for a refund

Although I'm not sure that I follow what you mean?
Most shambolic airline operating from the UK, this Facebook page is liked to remind me never to use them again... https://www.facebook.com/MonarchComplaints/?fref=t...
