Finnair have come good by getting us the same flight dates with B.A. at no extra cost to us. Now, thats what I call the Real Deal.

Thanks to all.

Anyone flown with Gulf Air to Mumbai? Prices are looking good 
Adds about 2 hours on the flight but £120 less than a direct flight.

Hi all
Off to Goa on the Thomas Cook flight from Manchester in Jan. What are the flights like? are they good? Do they stop for refuelling?
We have been really tight and are not paying for meals, seat allocations, transfers, extra luggage etc etc!

Flown with a few airways to india, Jet airways have been by far the best. 
We have been really tight and are not paying for meals, seat allocations, transfers, extra luggage etc etc!
From past experience, the crew haven't a clue who's paid for food and you'll get it anyway!

Is it possible to book a flight to Goa and return on another airline? Thoams cook are telling me that I cant but I have looked on certain websites and do a dummy booking one way only and it lets me.
its a long story but I threw my passport away by accident 1 day before I was due to go on holiday. So I missed ny flight out however my seat is still booked to come back .

vegasone,
Anything is possible! It's just a question of price and where you route via. Where is it you want to depart from? If you go via Heathrow, there are several options with the likes of Kingfisher or Jet Airways. Bear in mind with Thomas Cook, if you don't use the outbound portion of a return flight, the return is sometimes automatically cancelled. As long as the return portion of the flight is valid, and they know you are wanting to use it, I'm sure you'll be able to find a one way flight out to Goa. It'll be pricey at sort notice though.

vegasone,
If Thomas Cook have sorted you out, then there's no need. Sounds like you've had a pain of a start to your holiday!

When I rang them yesterday they said they cant put me on the flight , they told me I have to ring them 24 hours before to get on it, but I am worried that I will ring and there will be no seats left so I am looking at alternatives, yes I have had a bad start to my holiday I dont know how I have stayed sane
thanks for your help

vegasone,
If you take it upon yourself to arrange an alternative flight and Thomas cook are aware of that, I can't see why / how they can deny you the return leg. It's no different than what they are suggesting with you being on stand-by for their flight. All you can do is discuss your options with them.

hi .. came back from goa 5 weeks ago after a brilliant 8 weeks there . Now loking to book for nov.11 but at moment cannot find a flight under £650 .. i know i need to keep searching but has anybody got a good deal for around that time? If so who have you booked with ?????????? 
From past experience, the crew haven't a clue who's paid for food and you'll get it anyway!
not totally true Roma........ we do have a clue, just that some people are dishonest. If you claim a meal and hve not ordered one, you are preventing someone who has paid from receiving one. We have a manifest to work from with the correct meal codes on..... the aircraft is only loaded with the correct amount of meals and NO extras. Please be honest, but that could be hard for some people.
Perhaps Darren can shed some light on this one.........We've been back and forth to Goa quite a number of times over the last decade. Occasionally, we have had a fuel stop in Bahrain. Due to recent events I guess this is no longer the case. Is there an alternative fuel stop for this route? AUH perhaps? Shame really, we loved the Duty free shop at BAH !
djk,
The requirement for a fuel stop depends on the aircraft. I'm assuming you're referring to flights with Monarch? When they operate the Airbus A300B4-605R, it doesn't have the range to make the flight non-stop so therefore refuels in Bahrain onroute. If they send their Airbus A330-200, that is more common these days, that has a much longer range (2,000 miles more), there isn't the requirement for a fuel stop.
