Hi, thanks for that!

planning on going this November!

thats reasonably cheap isnt it? £10 a night.

we only want a base. as long as its got a decent swimming pool, a bed and shower then we dont mind.

hi there the sea shell is a very nice place we have booked for jan 07 the price we got was rs 950 for one night because it falls in the new year then rs750 per night for the room for the remainder of our holiday it is very very clean and the gardens are beautiful

I have just put the Mumbai leg into their site and it has come up with £693
with Lufthansa

you can get a flight London to Goa in November for £580 with Jet Airways.

BMI, Man to Lon for about £60 return. or the train for about £24

BUT remember it is your responsibility to leave enough connection time and not the carrier.

yummymummy I'm sure you will get it a little cheaper than that, we flew with Emirates last November from Manchester and then used Spice Jet from Mumba.We stayed a couple of days in Mumbai just to break up the journey. We stayed at the Casa Sea Shell and will be trying to book there again for November this year. I thought BMI had some good deals to Mumbai at the moment.

I'm (about to book a return flight to India (Mubai) for £300), this is available with British Airways and Virgin, Although the standard fare seems to be a little higher at £330 return... (This is from Heathrow)

There are lots about for travel now for around £300 but I put the dates in for November and December as I assumed that is when people go on holiday to Goa.
I wouldn't rely on the flight connection from London to Manchester - the season before last we met some people on the plane who were doing that and they missed the connection as our plane had to circle round Heathrow for quite a which made us about an hour late landing then the que at passport control was unbelievable. They ended up taking a train - at extra cost - as there were no more flights available that day.

Thanks guys! thats been most helpful!

Ive kind of got it sorted, just that when we arrive in mumbai there isnt any flights to Goa for about 12 hours so i dont fancy waiting around in mumbai airport for the flight to Goa.
