    Don't know what the plane will be, but I don't envy you at all. I flew with them once to the Maldives, it was hell. The next year I paid a considerable amount more to fly with Emirates, and it was well worth the difference. Sorry x
    Gone ... or have I?

    List of planes in their fleet:
    http://www.airfleets.net/flottecie/Monarch%20Airlines.htm

    Seat plans:
    http://flights.monarch.co.uk/cnt/about/aircraft.asp

    Its most likely going to be an Airbus A300 or an A330 ( or it could be their one remaining 767) . The other planes don't have the range to reach Mexico ( unless stopping to refuel)
    Both Airbusses seem to be 3, 3 ,3 seat configuration in the main part of the cabin.

    Hi
    if you look at this website:
    http://www.holidaytruths.co.uk/index.php
    on the 'Flight only/Airlines & Airports' forum, there's a guy called Dazbo who is obviously very knowlegable about airlines - if you quote him the flight number, he may be able to tell you what plane and config it will be.
