Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Flying with Monarch - Good News

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Came out to Grenoble yesterday from Gatwick - was paranoid about baggage allowances and carrying an ABS pack - apart from the horrific check in queue (1 hour) everything went so well, we were well under our allowance of 20kg but our double coffin snowboard bag (180) carrying two sets of skis my ABS and some other gear was 26kg and the check in guy didn't say anything!

He also was none too bothered about the ABS pack, just shrugged his shoulders when I showed him some IATA guideline and waved it through!

Other people's bags were well over 20kg and they had no problems!

9 hour delay at GVA with Monarch yesterday.

At 3 hours late:
"Minor technical fault, but the good news is we can still fly, please be patient for about 20 minutes".

5 hours later:
"The flight computer suffered a complete catastrophic failure, and an engineer has been flown over from the UK to fix it"

Enjoy your flights on Monarch, everyone!

 Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Last year the Monarch plane we were meant to take somehow had it's front door broken...

They thought they could fix it, so an engineer was sent out, but no... Then they had to send a new plane!

Hey ho, am booked on them again flying to Grenoble! Very Happy

It gives him better protection when he absent mindedly hucks 50ft cliffs..

 snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

under a new name, don't quite know the point you are attempting to make, are you trying to suggest ABS are just fashion items etc?

In which case as a bit of fashion advice for you I suggest you take your head out of your **** Smile

When you do this type of stuff on your own it gives you a degree of confidence, though going off a 50' cliff I'm not so sure rolling eyes

Plus various stuff in La G and elsewhere etc etc

If the doors are likely to fall off, you would be better off with a parachute than an ABS pack! But why am I laughing, we fly with Monarch next week!
Last year, returning from Selva via Innsbruck, the Monarch pilot was the only one who thought that it was too windy to take off. After a long delay, we were bussed to Verona. Other planes taking off all the time! Toofy Grin

Moondog, mmm. Commercial pressures can be considerable, so I rather like the idea of an airline in which a captain does not feel under pressure to do what other captains are deciding/being pushed into when it comes to flight safety.

Weathercam, I may be wrong, but I read under a new name's question to be about the conditions out there rather than anything else. Confused
