We just flew with Monarch MAN to Agadir. I'm not normally that fussed but I did think they were a bit better than average. Check-in at MAN very efficient, flights on time and possibly an inch or two more leg-room than other companies. On the outward flight we got extra leg-room for £10 each as we checked in.
