Which airlines fly Delhi to Goa?

IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express, Akasa Air and SpiceJet all fly non-stop. At Delhi, IndiGo, Akasa Air and SpiceJet use Terminal 1 (some IndiGo flights use Terminal 2), while Air India uses Terminal 3. Air India Express can use a different terminal from Air India, so check your boarding pass. Digi Yatra speeds up entry and security at all terminals.

Mopa or Dabolim: which Goa airport?

Goa has two airports, and choosing the right one can save you two hours in a taxi:

AirportBest forTaxi to
Mopa (GOX), North GoaCalangute, Baga, Anjuna, Morjim, ArambolCalangute 45–60 min, about ₹1,800–2,500
Dabolim (GOI), near VascoPanaji, Colva, Benaulim, PalolemPanaji 40 min, about ₹1,000–1,300

Mopa to Palolem is about 2 hours 30 minutes. Use the prepaid taxi counter or the GoaMiles app rather than negotiating outside.

What are the best flight timings?

Morning departures land before lunch and give you a first evening at the beach. For the return, afternoon or evening flights let you use the morning before check-out.

Baggage on full-service and low-cost fares

Domestic economy usually includes 15 kg of checked baggage and a 7 kg cabin bag. Air India includes a meal; IndiGo, Akasa Air and SpiceJet sell food on board. Air India Express also sells cabin-only fares. Prebook extra kilos online if you are carrying feni or cashews home.

When to book

Mid-December to New Year is the most expensive time to fly — fares can triple — so book 8–10 weeks ahead. Diwali and long weekends also spike. July–September is cheapest, but beach shacks close and water sports stop for the monsoon.

Tips for families and seniors

  • Book the airport nearest your hotel; long transfers are the most tiring part of a Goa trip.
  • Request wheelchair assistance at booking for parents.
  • Carry the same photo ID used on the booking — names must match.
