Customer notice from Monarch Scheduled

Carriage of sports equipment

Hi there,

Please be advised that from Tuesday 13 September 2005 Monarch Scheduled
will be starting to charge a nominal fee for the carriage of sports
equipment on board our flights.

The fee of 10GBP / 15EUR per person, per flight covers you for carriage
of up to 13kg of sports equipment (including golf clubs, bicycles, skis,
bowls and diving equipment). Any equipment weighing more than 13kg will
be subject to excess baggage charges of 4GBP / 6EUR per kg as normal.
All sports equipment is also carried subject to load and there being
space available.

As charges like this become commonplace within our industry, we felt
that not implementing a similar measure ourselves would undoubtedly
affect our ability to maintain the lowest fares on all flights. We are
confident that our fee is competitive and offers a good value equipment
allowance for our sporting passengers.

The fees are payable at the Monarch Scheduled ticket desk after check
in, or for new bookings made on flymonarch.com after 13 September 2005
you can pre-pay online at the time of booking.

Thank you for choosing to fly with Monarch Scheduled.
