Hi chilly who have you booked with please no the price is each, are you talking about 24th jan this year or next? this company that have quoted this price are the only ones that can give me detail for so long in advance. Gel

Gel,
Wait, you should be able to get Heathrow to Goa for less than £400 about 2-3 months before you go.

Thanks samtheboater, the lady who owns the apartment we are staying in is pestering us for dates, dont know if to just give her my dates then try and match flights, i thought this might make the flights dearer as you cant be flexible then. many thanks for your help you are most helpfull. Gel

Gel,
If you go and come back on a Wednesday or Thursday the prices tend to be cheaper.
I would book the apartment then arrange the flights later.

The problem with the price is because it is over Christmas, I would still think you should get better than £679.
I would start trying in 2 months time. You should get the exact days you want.

If you have problems with the apartment owner and need to look for an apartment which is very good try giving these people a try info@spice-villas.com. The apartments are really great but a bit pricey.

Hi Robbie,
Although we did not fly with Kingfisher, a few people we met did.....all seemed to be pretty impressed with the service, amount of leg room (one of the guys was over 6ft and quite a big man) and especially the standard of the food, No negative reports. They just fly from Heathrow at the moment.

Hope this helps Trina

I've looked on the usual sites but cant find the economy leg room listed anywhere, we use Emirates to Mumbai, principaly because of their 34" leg room, anyone know? Alan

gramps,

Seat pitch in 'kingfisher class' (economy) on their Airbus A330-200's is 34". On-demand seat back IFE is fitted throughout with 10.6" screens in economy. Seats have power points. They are India's '5 star airline'.
