Charter flights into Goa.

stevebenaulim · Jul 26th, 2008, 15:22

Even though i have lived in Goa for 9 years, i know nuffin, regarding charter flights into Goa.
Any advice, will help.
My 21 year old daughter wants to visit me, in january for 2 weeks.
I had a quick look on the net £500 to £600, surely not??.
I always fly through mumbai.

There has been a sharp increase in prices as well as charter flights are concerned. Tell your daughter to fly via Mumbai.

stevebenaulim · Jul 26th, 2008, 23:08

Yes might have to be via Mumbai, but 21, first time in India,
i will need to go up to meet her.
Ive had a few replys, that tell me to wait as charter flights unlike schedules, will come down in price, (i hope).
Thx

There is absolutely no reason to believe that charter flights will get any cheaper than they are now, other than the normal daily fluctuations.

Maybe you are correct, but friends and even an agent i contacted said, as it gets nearer the time, as long as shes flexible, good chance these flights will come down in price.
These friends take charter flights to Goa, every year 3 or 4 times a season, for many years.
All depends on supply and demand, im sure.
If it dosnt work, i must pay these prices.

Yes very untrue, the Goan rumour control is out again.

colin c · Jul 28th, 2008, 02:03

as far as im aware the only restriction is you cant fly charter if going for over 4 weeks but none the other way round

My friend flies on charter from Leeds and stays in Goa for 4 months and has no problem .Only problem this year is the price of the flight !

jcbrum · Jul 28th, 2008, 02:10

Correct,there is no time limit on the ammount of days you can stay when coming on a charter flight.The only stipulation is that if you fly into India by scheduled you cannot return on a charter flight.

I have not flown charter to Goa for 5 years now, i prefer to go scheduled even with the change over in Bombay its still a nicer flight for me .

Bookings are reported to be 20% down on last season from UK and Russian travel companies. There's a good chance prices will fall nearer your date.
