Roughly 4 km from Vasco da Gama, about 23 km from Margao, and about 30 km from Panaji. This guide covers the civilian passenger side only. Screenshot GOI (VOGO) ≠ GOX Manohar / Mopa (VOGA) — they sit on opposite ends of the state and are not interchangeable on a boarding pass. - >- One integrated passenger terminal (opened December 2013; Creative Group design) handles domestic and international flows in the same building — follow Domestic vs International / CIQ signs and live FIDS, not old dual-shell blog maps. AAI’s airport page lists the integrated terminal at roughly 65,600 m². There is no sterile domestic↔international walk that saves a mis-booked self-connect. - >- Traffic (AAI tables as compiled on Wikipedia’s Dabolim Airport infobox for April 2025–March 2026 / FY 2025–26): 6,126,944 passengers (−15.4%), 38,127 aircraft movements (−15.2%), 6,066.8 tonnes of cargo (−11.1%). FY 2024–25 was still above 7.2 million passengers. Decline tracks airline and charter migration to Manohar International Airport (GOX / Mopa), which opened for flights in January 2023. Prefer AAI annex figures when auditing; treat “second airport of Goa” marketing as context, not a reason to ignore the IATA code on your ticket. - >- Airfield (AAI Goa page + Wikipedia / public AIP summaries for VOGO): single runway 08/26 — 3,430 × ~45 m asphalt; aerodrome elevation about 138 ft / 45.8 m on the AAI fact sheet (Wikipedia’s 56 m / 184 ft line differs — prefer AAI for elevation audits); ARP about 15°22′47″N 073°49′40″E. Civilian and naval movements share the strip; Navy ATC and weekday morning military training windows are a real civilian-schedule constraint, not a trivia line. - >- Lounges (live Priority Pass Dabolim directory, checked Sep 2026): one soft lounge — Travel Club Lounge, domestic departures, airside 2nd Level near Gate B, 11:00–23:00 daily, max stay 2 hours, children not admitted on PP conditions. Brew House appears under Priority Pass Eat (restaurant voucher / credit), not as a second soft lounge — do not invent Plaza Premium / closed Good Times pins from stale aggregators. No live PP soft lounge on the international side in the Sep 2026 directory. - >- Ground: no rail into the terminal. Default exits are the official prepaid / GTDC-style taxi counters in arrivals and pre-booked transfers; GoaMiles (state-backed app taxi) is the sanctioned app alternative when it shows cars. KTCL electric AC airport shuttles run limited daytime frequencies to Panaji (citizen-charter fare ₹150) and Calangute (₹200) — confirm the live ktclgoa.com Dabolim timetable, not a blog PDF. DigiYatra for eligible domestic biometric entry has been live at Dabolim since the 6 September 2024 AAI multi-airport launch. Uber/Ola availability at the GOI kerb has historically been restricted by local taxi rules — treat prepaid / GoaMiles / hotel cars as Plan A and only trust a live app quote if the pickup zone is signed and working on the day. bentoTips: - label: Timing title: One terminal — still leave slack for peaks and naval airfield windows detail: >- DigiYatra can shrink domestic entry for enrolled passengers, but IndiGo / Air India evening banks, monsoon cells on a single 3,430 m runway, and weekday naval training blocks still chew buffers. Domestic ~2 hours early is the sane default; international wants a full ~3 hours for check-in, immigration, and the limited 11:00–23:00 Travel Club window. Do not plan ultra-thin self-connects that change domestic↔international inside GOI. summary: Short Vasco hop; naval windows and evening LCC banks still bite. category: timing - label: Terminal title: Integrated hall — confirm GOI vs GOX before you leave the hotel detail: >- Follow Domestic vs International signs inside the single integrated terminal. Same-day self-connects that change sectors still mean landside logic, re-screening, and immigration on the international leg. The classic Goa own-goal is a car to the wrong airport — Mopa (GOX) is a long North Goa drive from Dabolim, not a shuttle hop across the apron. Screenshot GOI (VOGO) ≠ GOX (VOGA) ≠ BOM. summary: One building for GOI flows — the wrong IATA is the real terminal risk. category: terminal - label: Food title: Travel Club if entitled and open — otherwise landside sealed water first detail: >- Priority Pass / LoungeKey holders should use the live directory (Travel Club domestic soft room only; Brew House is an Eat voucher, not a lounge). Without entitlement, buy sealed water and snacks landside before security; airside F&B is fine for a mid-size AAI leisure station but is not DEL T3. Budget for the lounge’s 11:00 open and no-children PP rule. summary: 'One live PP soft room (domestic, daytime/evening); Eat ≠ lounge.' category: food - label: Access title: Prepaid taxi / GoaMiles Plan A — KTCL only on its published clock detail: >- Use official prepaid taxi counters or a confirmed GoaMiles / hotel car — typically ~40–60+ minutes to Panaji and longer to Calangute / Candolim when NH66 and bridge traffic cooperate. KTCL EV airport buses are real budget tools on published daytime frequencies (Panaji ₹150 / Calangute ₹200 on the citizen charter) but are weak as your only late-night plan. Do not invent an open metro or Konkan Railway station inside the terminal. summary: No terminal rail; prepaid or GoaMiles beat unsigned kerb touts. category: status lounges: - name: Travel Club Lounge (Domestic) zone: >- Airside domestic departures — 2nd Level near Gate B (Priority Pass goi3-travel-club-lounge). hours: '11:00-23:00' access: - Priority Pass / LoungeKey / DragonPass (confirm live PP listing) - Eligible Indian premium credit-card programmes that list this room - Paid walk-up / Lounge Pass when the operator offers them (confirm desk) bestFor: - Domestic departures with Priority Pass after late-morning open - >- Adults-only rest before evening metro-India banks (children not admitted on PP) summary: >- Sole live Priority Pass soft lounge at GOI (domestic only). Published hours 11:00–23:00; max stay 2 hours; children not admitted on PP conditions. Expect a compact TFS soft room rather than a hub product; arrive after 11:00 and confirm the live app pin near Gate B — ignore stale Good Times / Plaza Premium aggregator pins and do not plan this room for international departures. verdict: worth-it terminal: Integrated Terminal (Domestic) amenities: - Air conditioning / Wi-Fi / flight information listed on PP - Standard alcoholic drinks (extra payment flagged on PP facilities) - Digital card accepted / disabled access listed - Max stay 2 hours; children not admitted on PP conditions waterOptions: - kind: purchase name: Landside sealed water (check-in / arrivals halls) zone: landside price: >- Typical Indian-airport sealed-bottle markup — confirm shelf tag (often roughly ₹40–80) summary: >- Best default hydration play — buy sealed water landside before screening so you are not hostage to airside café pricing after a humid coastal transfer. location: >- Convenience and café kiosks in the integrated-terminal departures check-in hall before security / DigiYatra entry terminal: Integrated Terminal landside isBestValue: true - kind: purchase name: Airside retail water zone: airside price: Higher than landside — confirm shelf tag summary: >- Markup backup once you are through security; fine for a top-up, poor as Plan A. location: >- Post-security café and retail units toward the domestic gate lounge or international hold rooms terminal: Integrated Terminal airside - kind: free name: Lounge drinks (entitlement only) zone: airside summary: >- Soft drinks with Priority Pass / paid / card entitlement only — not a public fountain.
