Mopa or Dabolim: which Goa airport?
Goa has two airports, and choosing the right one can save you two hours in a taxi:
| Airport | Best for | Taxi to |
|---|---|---|
| Mopa (GOX), North Goa | Calangute, Baga, Anjuna, Morjim, Arambol | Calangute 45–60 min, about ₹1,800–2,500 |
| Dabolim (GOI), near Vasco | Panaji, Colva, Benaulim, Palolem | Panaji 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.
