Monarch Hijacking at GATWICK Airport
BE WARNED - Those in Power at Monarch have passed down to their staff on Reception at Gatwick to be over enthusiastic about case sizes in particular your hand luggage. I was accosted on my way in to the Monarch area by a very large, very rude, very forceful member of Monarch staff. She was not close enough to speak to me so she started waving her hands and scowling very violently at me to proceed over to her. I was then instructed to put my hand luggage case in to her "measuring device". This I did and was immediately told off because I'd put it in the wrong way - but it did fit ok. She immediately proceeded to yanking my case out and putting it in at a differenet angle. Now this was where my first crime was committed. My wheel was half an inch too long somehow the way she had inserted it. I tried to reason with her, but she was now getting very agitated with me and was ordered to pay an extra £44 for the case and told it now had to go through as normal luggage and NOT hand luggage. At this point she sent me to the *Offenders desk*, but this is where I committed my second crime. I yanked out my new camera and took a photograph of the situation and then proceeded to the said desk. I had hardly got there and I felt a hand on my shoulder - I was now being informed that if I did not delete the photo that she would call the police. The strange part was that this was a brand new camera so I did not know how to delete this photograph, so I ended up saying to her "if you wan't it deleted - you do it", which she did. End of subject so I thought.
I am now standing in the queue at Departures with no luggage whatsoever. I gave my Boarding Pass and Passport over and suddently the computer makes all types of noises and alarms to which the man behind the desk has to pick up the phone and make a phone call. Upon putting the phone down I was then given a lecture so that everybody could here about what would happen to me if I dared to take another photograph. I must add one other thing by the way - ALL staff seem over insistant on me taking their names of which did not interest me in the slightest as this was obviously Monarch Head Office and nothing really to do with the staff - they were just carrying out these orders. Just as a passing note - the rumour at the Airport was that they thought that maybe the staff were on commission of how many extra charges they could make against people. Thank God I will not be going back to England for at least another year !!

Join The Fiesta and Win A Cruise
Join The Fiesta And Win a Cruise!
THE COUNTDOWN is well and truly underway for this year’s International Lifestyle and ExpoFiesta exhibitions, which takes place at the IFA Exhibition Centre near Alicante Airport on the 4th, 5th and 6th November. This is no ordinary exhibition it is four! Yes, that’s right, four exhibitions, over three days, all under one roof. The combination of the Lifestyle, ExpoFiesta, Tourism and Culture exhibitions promises to be an event not to be missed.
With over 120 stands the Lifestyle event alone, which starts at 10.30am every morning and finishes at 9pm, will be packed with lots of much needed products and services and it is guaranteed that there will be something there for everyone. And if you want to enjoy the day without the hassle of driving there, David’s Coachtrips S.L. is kindly offering coach transport to and from the event from their usual stops, for just €11 return. Just visit their website, www.coachtripsonline.com for more information or to book a seat.
For the first time the Expat Lifestyle exhibition and the Spanish Culture show will come together and as a result it will provide a unique and superb day out for all the family. And what’s more, by just attending and gaining entrance to the event, which is FREE by the way, you will be in with a chance of winning a superb Mediterranean cruise for two people, courtesy of Playa Flamenca Viajes, which includes stops in Monaco, Rome, Florence, Naples and Tunisia.
As well as the cruise, there will be lots of free draws, giveaways and competitions galore and you could walk away with an i-phone or Samsung Galaxy tablet thanks to top mobile company 2020Tel, who are also kindly sponsoring the fabulous SOL Champagne Bar. The Lifestyle Expo section provides an eclectic mix of businesses, there to highlight their products and services. From boats and beautiful ‘bling’ jewellery to the Moroccan Experience complete with a marquee, belly dancers and traditional Moroccan food, you will be transported straight to North Africa without having to even leave the exhibition hall! There will also be manicures and pedicures as well as fantastic garden and conservatory furniture, plus telephone and internet solutions, travel opportunities and currency exchange. Bag yourself a bargain or find out how to economically heat your home; the wide variety of companies at the exhibition will be at your disposal to get more help and information in order to provide you with everything needed for a successful life here in the sun. And if you get hungry or thirsty, our three International bars will be on hand to serve you their finest wines, beers and snacks.
But this exhibition is not like any before. Because we have joined forces with the ExpoFiesta, which highlights Spain’s traditional fiestas, the Moors and Christians from Alcoy will be at the event and there will be performances of traditional Spanish dance as well as the Tourism and Cultural Expo, which is designed to provide you with as much information about places to visit in Spain and what to see and do. The Expo Fiesta also includes the Interplural event, which is aimed at providing awareness of products and services of the many different foreign nationals who reside in our region. Interplural comprises a whole programme of activities including workshops and exhibitions as well as a huge gastronomical tasting experience, where you can sample the best and most typical dishes from more than 20 different countries. This year we will also be celebrating the very first Miss Interplural contest, which will involve representatives from all the featured countries and has been kindly sponsored by the VIRMA’s School of Design.
So come and join us as we bring you FOUR exhibitions under one roof and really find out what Spain has to offer! And don’t forget… It is FREE ENTRY FOR EVERYONE TO ALL FOUR EXHIBITIONS! SOL Productions, the IFA, our sponsors White Knight Glass Curtains and Playa Flamenca Viajes as well as our collaborating media companies look forward to welcoming you to this new style exhibition, which we hope will take the Costa Blanca to new heights.
This is just a brief outline of some of the exhibitors taking part at the Lifestyle Expo Fiesta 2011. You can log on to www.solproductions.tv for the full list of exhibitors who have booked to date or visit www.lifestyle-expo.com or our Facebook site Fiesta Time.
