Goa Dec worry
8 Posts
In September I got a very good deal on flights to Goa with Thomas Cook from Manchester 1st Dec (30 Nov also available but Monday suited us better.) With the expert help from HTers I booked accomm in Candolim and the Visa applications winging their way s we speak --- so, Thunderbirds are go!!! However, while idly looking at Thomas Cook, MyTravel, various hol sites I notice there is still an awful lot of availability for holidays/flights to Goa on these 2 dates. Surely they will not want to send out 2 part-full planes in 2 days?? Previously, we have gone with package type hols to Goa and always in Feb but have had to book WELL in advance to ensure availability. Is Goa not 'in' or it just because it might be that people want to be at home in dec pteparing for XMAS? Don't want to be sitting in the shacks Billy No Mates!!!!
I think you are right on both counts , Goa is not in and there are quite a number of reasons for that, from the visa fiasco,although it is improving to all the problems of last seasons murder enquiry.
Early December is the quietest time of the year, I could'nt drag my OH away, to much to prepare for Christmas. I'm sure there will be plenty of people there and I think you may enjoy it in comparison to the madness of the Christmas holidays.We were there at this time a few years back and I did not notice a lot of difference apart from my wife moaning she would never be ready for Christmas-women
Just chill and enjoy it.

We are also going beginning of December. It is the best time for us as the weather is still hot but not baking. Its not as humid as other times, you get better service because their not as busy. You dont need to book at the good restaurants, all the bars, shacks, restaurants and things to do are all open just the same as the rest of the season. Dont worry.
Hi 
no need to worry it is a great time of year to go
everyone at home is stressing over xmas and rushing about
we always go mid November and the weather is brilliant
all the restaurants and shacks are very welcoming as it is a new season
and it is not to crowded its paradise

I've gone around the beginning of December for the past four years and this year going on the 6th again. I agree with what has been said, that its not too busy (although only going by what I've been told Xmas is like!) but still plenty of people around. Never had to worry about not getting in places even the popular ones (East meets West etc) and everyone is not 'touristed out' !!
You'll have a great time..... and just think if the plane has got empty seats there might be a chance you can

Dec is great, not too hot and a break from the cold we have here - 34 sleeps!
We are going on 29th November, roughly same time as last year. Believe me, there's still plenty going on.
My missus has done all the Xmas shopping and has it wrapped, all we have to do when we get back is put up the 'decs' and then off to the pub for the last few days before crimbo. 'They' always say preparation is the key, and my wife's well prepared.
