Martyn,

You are so right. Number ONE 'superstition' for me is never fly on a charter airline/flight.

My parents were flying from UK to Spain some years back with Monarch (in a 757 if I remember correctly). Anyhow definately a twin engine machine.
One engine blew en-route requiring very scary emergency landing at Oporto. Fire engines etc. Fortunately all went well and Monarch looked after all passengers very well with overnight hotels,meals etc.

I don' t even fly Qantas if I know the flight is on charter !!
