Goa Discussion Forum

Discussions regarding holidays in Goa.
Visa in November but not going till Feb.
Is that in case you win the lottery?

I think we will try for a year one again and hope we get to pack a few in

Hi,

Can you tell me who you booked your flights with? Which Company? We are still looking for goa, so this will help.

Many thanks

We keep an eye on prices using sites like travel supermarket, travel republic, opoda and also check direct with the airline websites but we normally end up using Travelocity or E booker as booking agents

Once again we are flying with Jet, mainly due to the generous luggage allowance and the prices of the economy flight has varied by £500 and business class by over £1000 in only a couple of months

HI

Thanks for answering really quickly. We are looking, but I have tried to book flights only paying deposit and they are really not interested. So I was just curious which company now take deposits. Dial a Flight use to, but they have stopped now.

Many thanks

Hi,

Many thanks for that, and that is not a bad price. I need to look at SOuthall Travel, I have booked with them before though.

Really appreciate this.

Many thanks

Please excuse if this point has been mentioned in the past....

Advice from a travel agent:
If you're searching for flights and notice the prices have gone up since you last visited the site.... clear your cookies.
The agent said that these are used to monitor who is interested in certain flights, then the website recognizes a returning potential customer and often displays a higher price.
Give it a try ;-)

Welcome to the forums Shiyong.

We do have a thread regarding this information here:- http://www.holidaytruths.co.uk/forum/holiday-price-changed-over-day-check-here-t156710.html

But it's always worth mentioning :tup

Thanks Glynis

May I make a general positive comment on Holiday Truths Forum....

I'm so pleased to read genuine and interesting contributions from your members.
I have been a member of another forum (which I will be polite enough not to name) where the rudeness factor was appalling.

Members there would often submit genuine questions and then receive rude, sarcastic and unpleasant comments from others (this seemed to be down to a particular group of 'regulars').

I used to go through many (apparently interesting) threads and they were often riddled with comments, deleted by moderators, due to being 'inappropraiate'. There were even postings from people advertising 'call girls' services in Goa.

Thanks for a great forum service here which I will enjoy sharing with other members :-)

We've booked.
Been looking for a while and it looked like we were getting nowhere.
Ended up plumping for Air India LHR to GOI via BOM 8th Nov till 26th
Cost just over 1k for 2
We weighed up the difference in cost between flying back in an evening or early morning.
The morning flighs are £200 more and you are on a later plane back to the uk.
With the waiting In Mumbai it works out about the same.
So saved the 200 quid and are going on evening flight.
Used up about all my holiday entitlement but at least
We're going on holiday woopeeeeeeeey

We've flown Air India before and it's not bad especially if you get a good price. Its a great feeling once you've booked!!!

We found them as good but nothing special
As long as they don't loose the bags like jet then everything will be fine

Well we have a luggage capacity of 92kg and only the weight of a few books a loincloth & a bikini to pack.
Leaves plenty of room for contraband
