Monarch Airlines banish ‘Blue Monday’ this year

14th January 2015 Print

Monarch will be banishing the blues for holidaymakers on 19th January; better known as “Blue Monday” – the most depressing day of the year.

Customers travelling from Birmingham, East Midlands, Gatwick, Luton and Manchester airports on Monday could be in for a treat; golden envelopes containing special ‘Blue Monday’ tickets will be distributed across all departing flights. The tickets will be hidden in the aircraft seat pockets and the lucky winner will be entitled to a pair of free return flights across Monarch’s scheduled network.

The airline will also be launching a cross-platform, mobile optimised App to take back the meaning of blue this Monday – questioning the negative connotations that are associated with the colour. Monarch will be encouraging customers to send in their happy holiday snaps (peppered with the colour blue) with the hashtag (#) TakeBackBlue, via the App to inspire others who are suffering from the January blues. Each photo will be entered automatically into a prize draw to win flights and a 7-night holiday for two adults to Tenerife.
