mrstella, how you doing Pete - not seen you on here for some time. I would hang on for a while before booking and maybe go DIY, and fingers crossed bargain prices may come up on Qatar again. We paid £450 each for flights and £200 for apartment this season, so not a bad price for 2 weeks. Flight prices will be up everywhere you go, but hopefully not too much.
When was your last visit out ?

hey spike

yeah been doing the centre parcs with the family for the last couple of years so not been needing to keep up on the Goa scene, have been following the River Princess removal though ;-)
Been checking Qatar as well as BA and Qatar stop overs are horrific though ends up being a 20+ hour journy and whilst i dont have an issue with that the 12 year old daughter will moan like buggery.

Found a couple of deals on BA's site and they work out about the same as a package holiday except you can tag a couple of days extra onto the holiday by choosing the flights etc downside is the flight back involves a 7 hour wait at mumbai till the 2am BA flight leaves.

But currently keeping options open to be honest Mexico looks pretty sweet and not much more expensive.

Hi mrstella, We went with Qatar in jan and only had 2 hour stop in Doha, think they only have connecting flights to goa on certain days so you need to look carefully for the best connecting flights. :tup

Mr Stella, we faced the same problem with the long wait with Qatar this year,originally wanted to fly out on the Fri 10th Feb. The prices were to good to ignore and we were lucky that we had a bit of flexability so by moving the flights to Sunday 12th we were able to book flights with 1hr 55 stop over in Doha going & 2hr 15 returning. They were really good flights (apart from one which was like a bloody sauna while waiting on the runway to take off ) :duh

Hi we have flown with qatar and emirates and have had to search for good flights which did not include long stop overs but we have found them in the past, although it has taken hours of trying different dates we have found some good prices, good luck :tup
