Airports should stop selling booze so early
Story: Air passengers arrested for drunken misbehaviour ‘up 50% in a year’ I have a photo of a poster outside The Food Village at Manchester airport advertising “Breakfast Special: Full English and a pint of Carling £9.99 served before 11.30am”. I never cease to be amazed at the sight of people in airports drinking lager at 8am. Other commentators are right: ban the booze and hike the fines.

Deepest condolences to Ande’s family. She braved her illness and setbacks with a huge smile, care for others and dedication to her work. Ande, you will be missed.

QUOTE OF THE
WEEK Will Singer not inflate school holiday prices?
Story: Richard Singer named as new MD of Monarch Holidays Excellent, Mr Singer can start by practising what he, in his time at Travelzoo, preached – that is, charge the same during school holidays as at other times of the year. I wait with baited breath to book my £99 peak season holiday with Monarch Holidays.

WEEK Monarch hit by a host of headwinds
Story: Monarch reports losses of £290m as it reviews business model When there was ‘just’ the easyJet and Ryanair competition, Monarch’s ‘limp’ wasn’t too bad but
Jet2.com have also come into their space to almost cripple them. The decision to ditch Cosmos and rebrand Monarch Holidays played into Jet2’s hands. HARRY COLE
The bad press the company suffered last year due to the Atol renewal has damaged the brand. Couple this with a weak pound and the picture is bleak, with too many airlines fighting for too few passengers on a lot of Monarch routes. PHIL
Why does Monarch alienate the army of agents who would be more willing to promote it if there were price parity? Monarch could harness the power of thousands of agents looking for genuine partners. OBSERVER Travel Weekly welcomes a response from Monarch
