I have recently been told that Goa is getting more and more popular, therefore if you hold on for a lastminute deal you will find it hard to find one.
I got a good flight only deal from Directholidays in Jan this year, paid around £250 which included flight supplements, a return flight with My Travel, then we got our own hotel room for around £130 a room for 2 weeks.
A few months ago because i was in the holiday mood i went ahead and stupidly booked a packaged holiday with a travel agent and ended up paying lots, around £600 each. So im very tempted to cancel so we will only lose the deposit ( as there was only 2 of us going, it will only be a fraction of the cost) , but now theres been a change of plan and my son is coming, along with my parents, my brother, and my parents friends.
So we arent all prepared to pay £600 each.
Im very tempted to just get the visa's sorted out in Dec, then try and find cheap flights again like last year.

But... the question is, what will availability be like? hopefully the same as previous years.
