Has anyone travelled this route who might be able to recommend a route and advise on airlines serving the route. I know CX flies only to Mumbai but does the likes of Singapore Airlines fly direct to Goa, making the diversion through Singapore a viable proposition? Or maybe an airline serving Macau and India?

If Spore air, then you'll be doubling your travel time with 3 flights, plus enduring red eye or staying overnight at aiports. I connected through Bangalore since it was my first stop.

Many thanks for that information Funchal. Which airline and from which airport to go through Bangalore on the way to Goa?
Please support our advertisers:
1) Thai Airlines flies HKG>BKK>Bangalore or HKG>BKK>Mumbai. Domestic by Kingfisher air.
Both options will arrive around 10-11pm, but dont think there is a domestic air connection to Goa at that hour.
2)Cathay Pacific > Mumbai is a shorter journey.
3)Sri Lanka air flies Hkg>Colombo>Goa but there's an overnight stopover. I have not tried this airline.
I had to use Thai Airlines at that time as all flights were full.
India's airports' facilities are not geared towards travellers' needs, so it's best to keep transit time as short as possible.

Crystal, did Sri lanka air provide you with Colombo overnight hotels for both trips ( to/from Goa)?
Per the website, there is a 8 hrs stopover requiremnt before transit hotel is provided by Sri Lanka air and the HK-Columbo>Goa does not meet the 8 hrs.
Sri Lanka Air is managed by Emirates management who is their major shareholder.
But, it was reported recently that Emirates is returning the airline's managment to Sri Lanka's govt and also their shareholder's agreement in Mar 2008. Wonder whether this will impact their services.
