Manchester to Goa, India
Price includes 15kg pp hold baggage!! £457.50
Was (£467.50)
Per Adult
Monday 16 March 2009 14 Nights

Gatwick to Goa, India
Price includes 20kg pp hold baggage!! £264.00
Was (£269.00)
Per Adult
Friday 13 March 2009 14 Nights

The above price difference really annoys me both flying Monarch nearly £200 difference and more luggage allowance from Gatwick :( What North South divide ???

wow thats a huge difference isnt it!!

I would mind less if manchester was a little airport or more expensive to operate from but it is a huge international airport there should be no difference!! :que

MCB although you are on about January 2010, I booked in October 2008 to go on the 16th February 2009. Both the brochure prices and online prices were around that price.

I just chanced it and rang a local Thomas Cook shop up, and asked for the availability and price for this particular date. The price was quoted more or less as per the online price including discounts, however, I told them I'd been offered it cheaper and could they match or better it. They did, and it ended up costing just over £1,200 for me and the missus, flying from Manchester.

So although I may be teaching you to suck eggs, ring around and blag them to get a better price.

We have no choice I am afraid.My OH finds it extremely difficult to book holidays that start on weekdays.Really p****s me off but just have to get used to it.
