We flew with Virgin to Mumbai twice last season, both good and you are treated well.
Our son flew Mumbai to Goa with Kingfisher 2 years ago and says they were the best airline he has ever been on.

You should have no problems.

Would we need to confirm our flights with Kingfisher?

We flew them several years ago it was for the 7am flight from Goa to Mumbai/Delhi we got there for 5.30am and guess what none of the desks opened until gone 7am the flight eventually left 45 minutes late causing us to miss our connection. Its difficult to comment on the service as it was such a short trip

Are you sure it was Kingfisher you flew with several years ago? I thought they had onlt started very recently, could be wrong though! It can be a problem if a domestic flight is late and you ned to connect to an International, can't rely on changed timings or even cancellations at times. :roll:

saving a lot of hassle
thanks

I forgot to mention you can check in on the net the day before as long as it is after the flight has left. We can check in from home before we leave the UK.due to the time difference.

Please dont let this airport worry you , put it all down to experience like we do. We went through Sharm airport once , now that was horrendous , so Dabolim is a walk in the park. See you all there in November 07 or March 08 ( 2nd holiday --- 10th time to Goa ). Take care everyone :)

This is India! It is the way it should be. People think Dabolim airport is bad for porters and the like. Well try Delhi and Mumbai airports they are bad for porters. Complete bedlam at times!!!

Big cities with the poor trying to make a quick buck! Goa is easy stuff in terms of annoying porters, etc etc!

It is all part of the fun :?

We are having problems booking with Spicejet using credit / debit card, anyone else had similar problems?

I also had a problem, in the end I booked with Kingfisher who together with Goair are the only ones who will accept a non Indian credit card.
Apparently you can use an American express card to book with Spicejet.

I have booked Jet Airways flights last month with makemytrip.com but they wouldnt book a Spicejet flight presumably because there is little profit for them in a Budget flight.
