Free, Mobile Flight Information for FlyMonarch.com Gatwick Passengers

Yesterday, we announced the launch of Monarch Mobile: a new, hassle free way for FlyMonarch.com passengers to access all the information they need about their flight from the convenience of their mobile phone. Monarch Mobile is powered by StreamThru.

By working closely with BAA, the company that runs Gatwick Airport, we're able to send passengers the same live flight information that is displayed on the airport departure boards.

With Monarch Mobile, passengers opt-in to receive the following updates by SMS text message:

- 4 hours before scheduled departure time, we send a passenger their booking reference, check-in location, and let them know if their flight is on time

- 2 hours before departure, we send up to 2 relevant offers from airport retailers and Monarch. These offers include discounts on foreign currency conversion, duty free, electrical goods, and much more

- Shortly before boarding, we send a reminder text with flight status and boarding details.

At any time, if a passenger's flight is delayed by more than 15 minutes, we notify them immediately by text message. Unless there is a delay with a passenger's flight, they'll receive no more than 4 text messages before flying.
