Monarch Airlines is celebrating flying the nation for 40 years and the Croydon Guardian has teamed up with the award-winning airline to offer one lucky reader the chance to celebrate the airline's anniversary by winning a pair of flights to your choice of destination!
They have flights to either Alicante, Larnaca, Menorca or Murcia or up for grabs, so whether you fancy lazing on a beach, practicing your golf swing or taking in the cultural sights and sounds of the city of your choice, enter now to land yourself a seat.
Monarch operates daily scheduled flights from London Gatwick with fares, including taxes, starting from just £40.99 one way (£67.50 return). Monarch also operates scheduled flights to Faro, Ibiza, Lanzarote, Malaga and Tenerife from London Gatwick.
In addition to year-round low fares, Monarch also offers a unique range of tasty hot and cold meals onboard with prices from £3 and seats can be pre-booked at £5 per one-way flight to avoid the last minute free-for-all, or £15 each way for extra-legroom seats.
Queues at the airport can be avoided with online check-in, which is available between seven days and four-and-a-half hours prior to departure and regular travellers are rewarded too with a range of benefits through the airline's loyalty scheme, Vantage Club.
Don't worry if you're not a lucky winner this time - check out the latest deals or book your flights at monarch.co.uk or call 0871 225 3884. Web bookings include a £10 discount per return flight (£5 per one-way flight).
