We will be travelling to Goa first week of January and I am looking for a good price on a flight via Mumbai preferable with Jet airways. My daughter is threatening to join us, but just for a week and needs a cheap charter from Gatwick. can anyone recommend a UK travel agent or web site where we can find some good deals?

Look at ticketstoindia.co.uk

www.charterflights.co.uk

www.southalltravel.com usually do a good price on jet

Kingfisher is coming in Dabolim from Heathrow - just had a look on Southall site and it is £265 return - could not believe it so went back and checked and still comes up the same. Jet is £434 jan - march

Try Charter Flights UK. They have some good deals on occasions. We have found them very good.

Well I have just been on Southall travel web site and booked two flights in early January for £269.80 each. i will have to wait 24 hours for ticketing, I will let you know if it all goes through.

Have 2 lots of friends who have come out here with Kingfisher via Bangalore and said the flights were fine - as good as any they have flown with (including Jet).

I have just checked my e-mail and we have the confirmation and e-ticket numbers. I don't think we have ever paid so little, great for us but it's obvious that they must be having problems getting the flights filled.

Now all I need is a cheap charter flight for my daughter who is comming out for a week and so far the cheapest I have found is still £370.00

It is not a case of not having the flights filled - this is a new route which is just coming into operation. Kingfisher have been flying to Goa via Bangalore for a while now and decided to do the Mumbai one before all this "credit crunch" came about so they were commited to the route.
Depending on when your daughter is coming out via charter - get her visa and then look for a 'cheapie" nearer to the date. Last month there were charters coming from East Midlands Airport - one of the dearer ones - for about £250 return before the first week in December and it will be the same in January (I am guessing).
Keep looking at wwwcharterflights.co.uk they are the best.

Anyway "powerhouse" nowhere did I read that you would stand me and mine a drink on the info I gave you to save about 400 quid

Probably it is the dell boy in you!!!!!!!!!

Well we are out in early January and would be happy to show our appreciation with a drink, just let us know where you hang out and we will try to find you. Last time we came out we paid around £450 each so it we are delighted to get the flights so much cheaper this time.

Joking - we can just about afford to buy our own drinks as this rupee in now down to about 72 - any further down and we will shoving the beggars off the road and doing it ourselves.

I have just had an e-mail from the visa office letting me know that my daughters visa has been posted back to us so I have booked her a flight directly with Thomson for £244.00. Lets just hope it turns up.
