Wow, Vegasone - that's pretty amazing (well done to the Passport Office & VFS).
When you get back from this holiday that you are obviously destined to go on, we want to hear all about what happened.

Can't Thomas Cook tell you today if they have any spare seats on their Tuesday flight?

I don't think Monarch would be any good as they only fly Thursday & Saturday from Gatwick.

Thomson fly Saturday and Wednesday.
There are 7 seats left on the Wed 19/1 (TOM082).

I'm sure other people who fly scheduled either via Mumbai or Doha can give you alternatives.

Well done and good luck with the flight.

my passport photo was already hideous no make up hair everywhere it was awful then I had to do them again and part my fringe... I will look at that passport now for the next 10 years and remember this day, oh and my mum came with me all over London for support which was nice.

thomas cook state they can not let me have a seat until 24 hrs before, I have no idea why however if I ring Monday and they tell me I cant have it I will have to fly indirect from heathrow via some where never done that before but I have to go even if it costs me 500 smackeroooney which is what they are selling at.

my husband lost his passport recently( or thought he had). When we enquired we were told the one day service was not applicable for replacing lost or stolen passports. The quickest was a fast track one week service. Luckily he remembered he had used it for ID when he picked up a parcel from the post office or we would have missed our city break. I see they still say that you can't do a same day service on their website. Don't tell me they are getting us bad as updating their site as India is!

Really pleased for you vegasone that you got sorted. We booked our flights through traveup and they have a variety of choices going out on Tuesday from just over 400 pounds. The website won't allow you to book for Monday but it might be worth giving them a ring.

Wow.....I am so happy you seem to have been able to sort it all out! Well done!! No easy task and certainly not one I would have liked to tackle.

Good luck with next week, I just hope it all falls into place for you.

does anyone know if I can booka flight out and come back on my original flight? thomas cook tell me the indian gov wont allow you to fly out on one airline and come back on another :que

Darren on the Flight forum would be best to ask but Im pretty sure if you dont use the outward half of your ticket it then becomes null and void. Also at one time the Goan Gov. had a rule blocking mixing and matching scheduled and charter flights, but whether it still stands, I'm not sure .
