Monarch Flight MON 4502 21/03/09 & 28/03/09

If you are due to fly to Goa on the above flight on either of the above dates, I am reliably informed that the flight will not go via Bahrain as Bahrain is having runway repairs at certain times until March 31st 2009 - the plane will instead, land in Larnaca, Cyprus to refuel - passengers will not get off the plane. If you want to but duty free, buy it in Manchester, you won%26#39;t be able to buy it elsewhere on the outbound journey.

Regards

Andy.

Thanks for letting us know,we%26#39;re flying out on 28/03.Will this create much of a delay? I ask this because we%26#39;re first timers

No, shouldn%26#39;t be any different flying time - main thing to hope for is an on time departure from Manchester.

We are on the flight 28/3/09 manchester back 12/4/09 on the return we do stop at bahrain if you have been before with monarch via bahrain do you know if we can buy duty free there too , thanks and not many sleeps now can%26#39;t wait ....

If the runway repairs don%26#39;t overrun any further, the return flight will stop in Bahrain %26amp; you%26#39;ll be able to buy duty free - I%26#39;m not sure about liquid duty free, booze etc as from memory that did get a bit awkward at one point but it may have been on the outward journey?

dont forget outside ec you are only allowed 2 litresd of spirits and 200 cigs each into manchester. Theybare getting quite strict! we got stopped in manchester but hadnt anything over the limit. Cheers!!!

probably sounds like a stupid question but if the flights stop at bahrain and you get duty free what currency do you use?

Hi they take sterling,hope this helps.

Hi there - we fly out of Manchester this Sunday.

Do we get off the plane in Larnaca or do we have to stay on?

I am really dreading the flight as i have heard it is really cramped and was hoping that at least we would be able to get off at some stage?

We flew on the same flight on March 1st. We stopped at Larnaca because of runway repairs and stayed on the plane for less than an hour. Coming back on March 15th we did stop ar Bahrain and it was nice to stretch our legs but if you want to shop be quick! You have to take all your hand luggage with you and then go through security.... By the time we had done all that and ordered a coffee we were called to board again!
