Hi Preacher

Glen's Corner is so close to the Beach it's brilliant!! Great service and food. Coldest Kingfishers ever and Glen is a lovely guy, nothing is too much for him or his staff. Rooms are immaculate and a good size. Love it !

We have been looking at flights for Feb/March 2012 we cant book until next week ..they have been £550 ish with Qatar for weeks had a look at them last night and they have gone up £140 each I feel sick colleen

Know how you feel. We were looking to book when the price with qatar was 663.00 but our travel agent said wait they will come down
looked yesterday and the price has gone to 722.00 - we have booked but not with our usual travel agent and paid 712 know its only £10 cheaper but hey thats a meal with drinks when we get there. (should have realised the only thing to come down is rain)

We booked, very reluctantly with Qatar a couple of months ago at £650, todays price has eased the pain somewhat !

Been looking for about 4 weeks now,saw them at £550 direct with Qatar ,then last week there upto £650,but was told by our Agent
Dont book yet, as there definatly will be some offers coming up in a couple months So we are waiting at least till then

I agree with you split you just have to hold your nerve and wait a short while it'll pay off...

I think they think that because everyone has just come back, we want to book again right away (and we do!!)
so they think they can hike the prices up, as sleeps says, hold your nerve and wait, and hopefully the prices will come down

Schhhh!! Don't let them hear you!!!

I think it's a case of Dont panic mr mannering.

Yes - I've just been checking and Qatar have increased to £722 (from Mcr).

That seems a bit steep but not sure what to do - hang on or bite the bullet. Think I'll wait a few weeks and see what happens but if it goes up again I'll be as sick as a chip. It's only a couple of years ago I got last minute flights for £249! That was Monarch for 2 weeks but I want 5 or 6 this time.

For Mancunian departures, Qatar know they've got you by the rowlocks because any other carrier involves changes at London or Brussels (or some other Eurpean hub) and then Delhi or Mumbai and that's a real pain of a journey - three flights often with longish waits.

Perhaps HTers should charter their own flights - I'll co-pilot - after riding scooters in Goa an Airbus can't be that difficult, O/H can do the trolley dolly stuff, Mike can look after the duty free (yeh, right!) and Chilly can sort out the on board entertainment. What do you think?

Well, it was on my mind so I've been internetting about and have finally booked Manchester - Mumbai with Qatar for £410 each. Will decide whether to have a few days in Mumbai over the next few days before booking internal flights.

I reckon they will be £60-£80 each so although it's more mucking about, there's a saving of around £450 for two people compared with flying direct to Goa with Qatar. £450 goes a long way in Goa and we're doing 6 weeks so we have time to recover from the flights.

I reckon the Doha-Goa flight is a nice little earner for Qatar. Goa and Mumbai are not that far apart and there's a difference of £312 per flight - someone's having a laugh!

Roma we used GO AIR from Mumbai to Goa in Feb they were very good and on time
cost £65 each return

i think that is a very good price lovebug can i ask how long you will be staying?.

Had a look at the Qatar flights from Manchester to Mumbai for Feb 2012. £479 which looked really appealing until I noticed the 30 hour return trip home dont think we will bother with them times..Keith
