Watch out for
GOI
GOI (VOGO) ≠ GOX Mopa (VOGA) — wrong airport is a long cross-state road transferPP/LK soft lounge is domestic-only, 11:00–23:00, max 2h; PP does not admit children. DragonPass hours and an international listing disagree — confirm the live appNaval training / ATC windows on the shared 08/26 runway (AIP 3,426 × 45 m, elev 188 ft) can compress the civilian bankNo rail into the terminal; KTCL EV shuttles last leave Dabolim at 16:00 — prepaid taxi is Plan A after dark

One terminal — still leave slack for peaks and naval airfield windows
Short Vasco hop; naval windows and evening LCC banks still bite.
Integrated hall — confirm GOI vs GOX before you leave the hotel
One building for GOI flows — the wrong IATA is the real terminal risk.
Travel Club if entitled and open — otherwise landside sealed water first
One live PP/LK soft room (domestic); DP also lists international. Eat ≠ lounge.

Integrated domestic terminalAAI airport information
Use the airline live board
Confirm the operating carrier and day-of status.
Keep the integrated flow simple
IXG uses one integrated domestic terminal.
Treat lounge listings cautiously
AAI does not confirm a passenger lounge and third-party claims conflict.
GOI · AAI civil enclave on the Indian Navy’s INS Hansa at Dabolim — one integrated terminal, DigiYatra since Sep 2024, and a single daytime Priority Pass / LoungeKey soft room (Travel Club domestic) — still the South Goa / Vasco default, but shared-runway naval windows and airline migration to Mopa (GOX) keep reliability and international depth capped.
IXG · Belagavi domestic airport with one integrated terminal and AAI information pages; no authoritative passenger lounge is confirmed.
