We have paid £460 return with Etihad LHR- BOM & £102 return Kingfisher BOM-GOA.We just thought this might be helpful to someone if they were struggling with a flight but maybe you know a better one. (Dec 17-Feb 8).

Ok. That's about the average price at the moment and i don't think they will come down this year.

If people are waiting for the charter flight prices to come down i don't think they will.We spoke to a couple of First Choice pilots last season and they said the days of companies just selling off their empty seats for next to nothing are gone.The airlines would rather have the flights half empty,because the lesser the load the less fuel the plane will use.

Hi Les127,
the reason alot of people arrange their own flights is that you cannot fly charter if going for more than 4 weeks.

That's not entirely true.Most charter companies won't let you book over 28 days,but there's nothing stopping you flying in by charter and flying back out on a charter 6 months later.

Hi John,
wouldn't that work out more expensive than getting a scheduled flight?

Yes alot more expensive.I was just making the point that you can arrive and depart on a Charter flight for any length of stay.

Judging by the number of rescheduled holiday charters seems like a better idea, although still subject to change but not as much as the holiday companies are doing at present.
