many thanks Chris and delrich, my hubby is reg blind so a direct flight is much easier for him, Mumbai he would just get put to one side and left at the mercy of the airport employees [it happens, we have been there and they have no idea what a white stick means and often ask what is wrong with his leg !] coming back on end of April would be ideal and I would be there to meet him at Gatwick, he has family to meet him at Goa airport, we always pay for an upgrade to make the journey more comfortable.
thanks again Dee
