The Richmond & Twickenham Times has teamed up with Monarch, the scheduled leisure airline, to offer one lucky reader the chance to win a pair of return flights on one of the airline’s new routes to Egypt’s Red Sea resort of Sharm el Sheikh or Spain’s bustling city, Barcelona.

You and a friend could jet off to Sharm el Sheikh and relax on the sands or experience the underwater world of tropical marine life.

Or, if a bustling city is more your thing, you could jet to Spain’s lively city, Barcelona, also ideal for those heading for the beaches of the Costa Brava or to the ski slopes of the Pyrenees.

Monarch operates flights to Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, Turkey and Egypt from London Gatwick airport with fares, including taxes starting from £39.99 one way (£61.99 return).
