Marlon I have flown direct between Delhi and Goa and vice versa several times. I would be very disappointed if this schedule were discontinued.
On another point, by paying a variable extra, but booking a little early if possible, premium class on the direct charter Gatwick (London) flights to Goa and back, allow for much better seating space, more luggage allowance and better grub. Last minute premium class accommodation is sometimes available at the airport to allow for a swap from economy class on Monarch flights for example. In April this year, I took an outward last minute swap for £80.00 (London/Gatwick to Dabolim) although told previously that all premium seats were taken up. I actually ended up among just eight passengers in accomodation for 48 in premium class! The rest of the plane was less than a third full too. Had I known this before taking off I would not have used up £80.00 (one way) unnecessarily in this instance as I do travel very light out of habit. As a frequent traveller, I am now pretty certain that the airline right hand does not know what the left hand is doing at most times regarding flight accommodation. At Heathrow, they also overbook on scheduled flights and do their best at the airport to get passengers to delay departure for reasonably good money and accommodation. This is excellent if one does not need to meet tight deadlines.
