We also go in 5 weeks, can't wait :clap You will be able to get a taxi at the airport, there are 2 taxi booths, one on the left just inside the exit doors and one in front of you after you come out of the doors. They have fixed prices listed, I know it's 675 rps to Candolim, Baga will be a bit more. Don't forget to tell the rep that you won't be getting the transfer bus so that they are not waiting for you. Most hotels will cater for non residents so dining shouldn't be a problem.

I can't help with your questions on the flight or the trip but I am sure someone will be along shortly to deal with those. ;)

Jungle Book trip can be booked through "Daytrippers", they have a good reputation amongst HT'ers.
Have a great holiday, GFF xx

Did the jungle book trip through Eddie at Daytrippers about 2 years ago! Absolutely excellent! Had a brilliant time, and everything was organised to perfection!

We where told by most locals that due to the number of charter flights from both UK and Russia being cancelled late March most shacks would be closing around that time.

Mr Frostie what hotel did your friend book in the end ?

Hi Dave's wife! Our friend booked a package with Thomas Cook staying at the Dormhouse! for £405 -Needless to say he won't be staying at the Dormhouse but that was cheaper than booking just the flight. He has booked a room at Colonia de Braganza Resort for £75 so I think he did quite well! Also it looks close to us at The Santiago and he is on the same flight as us!- 22 sleeps to go!!!! :)

We stayed next door to Colonia de Braganza.It is certainly in the heart of the action and your friends will not have to worry about places closing anywhere near there.Right in the middle of crazy Calangute with some excellent restaurants close by.Hope you all have a great time.
