    Its Good that the flights have started. The fare has been too high for us to fly because it not always the company who bears the cost of the ticket. It would be better if late evening flights are introduced. Anyways thanks Air India

    Good news is that AirIndia starts flight to Goa from Dubai direct.Bad news is fares are to high,Better to fly by JetAirways from Abudhabi - Mumbai and take connecting from Mumbai to Goa.As i work in Abu Dhabi this is better option for us.

    Yes it is a relif,but on the other hand it is a day light roberry by Air India. Fare to Goa-Dubai-Goa is AED 2,980/- can you belive it. To fly to Dubai-UK- Dubia a journey of 6/7hrs the fare is aed 2,000 so why a trip of less than 3hrs should cost so much? Most of the Goan boys are working in the hotel industry and draws average salary of aed 1,000 with a passage every two years. So to travel evey year one needs to work free for there months. Come on Air India why the diffrent treatment to Goans while Kerelites enjoys a better fare and far better connection including Air India Express.

    I am glad that Airlines are moving with the times and providing convenient flights from Mangalore and Goa to Middle East. However it is expedient that The Airlines provide proper and immediate connections from places like Muscat and Dubai to destinations like New York, Detroit and other places in U.S. I have been a frequent flyer to U.S. practically taking flights every year for the past several years and it is indeed difficult if the flights reach Dubai late in the night and one has to wait for at least four hours for the connecting flights to London and U.S.A.
