there is a 4 hr wait in doha coming back,but i can cope with that at this price.

How are you getting from Mumbai to Goa ?

hi we have travelled alot thro thailand and do the overnight train,thought has we will be spending our 1st hol 21st nov for 3 wks in goa ,we might spend the 2nd hol doing a bit of traveling in india for 2wks and spend the next 1o days in goa and then back up to mumbai,thats if all goes well.ha ha

Sounds great ! Others on the HT will know, but I believe there is huge demand for the trains as they are very cheap and you are best to book well in advance.cheers

hi ,had a look at topics on trains ,everyone seems to enjoy them,just a thought does anyone know if india do a tourist train pass,we have bought them in thailand and you get 21 day unlimited travel anywhere in thailand for 1500bt [£21],we used ours extenivley when we were last there

Qatar have special offers on flights to Mumbai at the moment but prices are only good if you're going October to middle November - about £260.

Valley lady.
My last 2 visits to Goa was with Southall travel @ the price you have quoted and on both times you changed planes in Germany, with a 4 hour stop over before flighing on to Mumbia, I should check this out before booking your flight to goa. Danny

hi lynndon,the flight has 1 hr stop in doha going and 4 coming back

Were you flying with Kingfisher via Germany Lynndan?

Hi Sheila
No it wasn't Kingfisher, it was somr german airline(very nice) but I cannot remember its name(senior moment)

I have just booked with Thomson online for four people 14 nights staying at the Marinha Dourada from East Midlands departing 26th Nov. We have paid £660 per person and i'm told this is a very good deal so i thought i'd share it.

Booked this morning for a Kingfisher ticket.Leave Oct 6th back late Feb. days are flexible. I was constantly going back on the page to find the cheapest day to fly. I booked it on line checking out day and time and must have just checked the coming back times .Clicked to pay for it and thought i better check again but it didnt come up again to say what dates i picked. I get a email 5 mins later confirming i was booked on 6th Oct and back on 14th Oct ! Called them straight up and said can you amend the coming back date. Guy said no he cant do it as i did it online he cant change it, i would have to buy another ticket ! Asked to speak to his boss and had to call the online help and the guy amended it within 5 mins . Thank god for that .
I paid £459 with Kingfisher it was only £416 with Jet but part of that flight was Jet Lite and i know Jet from Heathrow takes 32kg but prefer 30kg and didnt think Jet Lite would take that.Same ticket was £369 5 weeks ago .
But done and booked now and its a nice feeling when you have booked.Just have to do the Visa My friend has just booked Jet and has a luggage allowance of 46kg ! Its on his ticket and he was told that when he booked .

HI imho OMG how terrible you must have been frantic...thats my biggest fear making a mistake like that!!! bet your heart was thumping!! we fly Kingfisher and you will have a massive weight allowance with them too about 48kilo or something silly... but we dont get that unfortunately as our flights from Heathrow are returns and when you book from Goa you only get 28 kilos! huh discrimination ... i shall be queuing with all those people having great big bags and i will no doubt have a great big bag i am not allowed!!

Chilly my first thought was my god i going to have to buy another ticket as the guy said there is no way he can cancel ticket or amend it.He never offered the information that i could call Online help at all.He only said that after i said no way am i going to pay for another ticket and i wanted to talk to the boss. Panic, cause it took over 1 hour to sort it out as when i called online and they said they can change it and will call me back it took ages for them to call back.
I got friends that live out in Goa so i can bring them stuff they want with the 45kg luggage allowance.
I am now at the stage where i am not sure if i want to go now !! I do this every year ,i book it and then think i dont want to go

you know you will love it when you get there!!

chilly. yes i know i will and i wont want to leave as usual ! Really Goa is good for me as a base but i love traveling India but i always miss the food in Goa as its not as good in most parts of India .

I know what you mean there !!! cant you do both!!
