Goa has one and only airport called Dabolim. Its abbreviated name is GOI ( Goa international Airport). And even then, this is not really a tourist airport: most of it belongs to the Indian Ministry of Defense. Today the air terminal has two terminals: Terminal 1 serves domestic flights and Terminal 2 is international.

« Air gate»Goa was built in the 1950s by the Portuguese (at that time the state was a Portuguese colony and was not part of India). But the struggle for Indian independence did its job - and in 1962 all of Goa (including the airport) was captured by the Indian military. Since that time, and until now, Dabolim remains the property of the military forces of the Indian Republic, a military air unit called "Hansa" is located on its territory.

Travel time Moscow - Dabolim- approximately 7.5 hours.

Due to the fact that the airfield belongs to the Indian Air Force, military flight exercises take place on the territory every day from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. the beginning of the exercises of military fighters).

We once got into a situation where ours was late with an arrival, because of which the departure was delayed by 4 hours. At that time runways the air hub was already occupied by military fighters, and about 300 people sat in the waiting room and watched in silence. We had to take off at 7 o'clock in the morning, but it turned out to take off only around 12 noon. We were lucky, and by some miracle our plane was allowed to take off between the takeoffs of Indian fighters (apparently, the lunch break happened). And we already expected to wait until the end of the working day.

Also, due to the military nature of the airport, a military man with a machine gun always stands at the entrance to it and checks the tickets of everyone who wants to enter. Therefore, everyone must have a printout of their electronic ticket, where the number and date of the flight can be seen. Entry to the airport with a ticket is allowed no earlier than 4 hours before the departure of your plane.

Arrival to Dabolim

Upon arrival in India, all tourists are required to fill out an Arrival card, it is sometimes handed out on planes, but most often you have to take it already at the Goa airport and fill it out at the counters, so we advise you to have your own pen (there are few pens on the counters, and wait for your turn to fill card takes a long time). The Arrival card contains standard information: arrival flight, departure date, which hotel you will live in, which cities you plan to visit.

This is what the Arrival Card looks like, which must be filled out by all foreign tourists.

After filling out the Arrival Card, you must go with it to the border control (if you have a pasted Indian visa in your passport) or to the Visa on Arrival counter (if you issued an electronic visa, which is pasted into your passport upon arrival).

After passing the border control, we go to the baggage claim line. Let's add a small one, so there are only two tapes. Local “helpers” are on duty at these bands around the clock, who are in a hurry to snatch the suitcase out of your hands in order to take it to a taxi, or to the operator's desk if you didn’t arrive on your own. They are dressed in some kind of uniform that makes them look like airport employees, in fact, this uniform is "left".

They know our main operators flying to Goa, so when a confused tourist hears: "Pegasus, let's go there," he is sure that this is an employee of the tour operator, whose duties include escorting tourists to the counter. In fact, this is an ordinary Indian earning money in this way. After you and him find the counter of your tour operator (or taxi), he will begin to demand payment from you for his services. They ask for a lot (according to eyewitnesses, from 5 dollars to 500 rupees), although they have to carry a suitcase no more than 50 meters.

There is currency exchange at the airport, but the rate is extremely unprofitable. Therefore, if you really need it urgently (for example, to pay for a taxi), exchange a small amount (no more than $ 50). But it is best to order a car at a prepaid taxi booth (government prepaid taxi) and tell the driver that you will pay later. In the window you will be given a piece of paper with a fixed price, and already being in your village, you will exchange dollars at a favorable rate and pay the driver. Taxi rates to different villages in Goa hang at the exit from the airport, so if the taxi driver starts to overcharge, you shouldn't be encouraged. Taxi prices from the airport and the distance to popular tourist villages, we will give in this article, just below.

The counter of the state Prepaid taxi at Dabolim airport

In addition to currency exchange, you can use the ATMs located at the exit from the terminal: just withdraw money from your card. The ATM issues rupees, the conversion takes place inside the bank. The issuance fee for Indian ATMs is standard: 200 rupees. The commission for withdrawing money from your bank can be different: with us, for example, money from which you can withdraw money without commission anywhere in the world (provided that the withdrawal amount is at least 3000 rubles). Usually, we withdraw 10,000 rupees and pay 200 rupees for issue - 2% of the amount is obtained. The smaller the amount you withdraw, the less profitable it is.

It is worth considering that Indian ATMs work differently from Russian ones. They do not "swallow" the card - it must be inserted all the way and immediately pulled out: the ATM has already read all the necessary information. After the card is read and removed, you already enter the pin code, select the desired account and enter the required amount of issue.

Also at the exit to the city there is a sale of Indian SIM cards. It is extremely unprofitable to buy them here: they cost several times more than in the villages of Goa, and if the card is faulty, there will be no one to make a claim (you will not go to the airport by taxi for 1000 rupees to exchange a SIM card for 500).

There are no luggage storage rooms in Dabolim, so you won't be able to leave your luggage there while looking for accommodation.

It is worth considering that at night (from 23:00 to 05:00) another 35% is added to these rates. Also, a prepaid taxi takes another 10 rupees from each passenger for luggage.

Departure from Dabolim

About the fact that you can enter the terminal only by presenting to the military at the entrance your printed e-ticket, we have already said. What happens after you go inside?

When leaving Goa, your luggage is carefully checked, and then a yellow sticker is glued to the lock of your suitcase, which cannot be removed without damaging it. So they try to secure the flight (so that prohibited items are not put in the suitcase after the check). By the way, it is forbidden to carry any batteries in your luggage, once we didn’t let a children's suitcase through because it contained a control panel for a typewriter with batteries inside.

Lighters are also prohibited from carriage as in hand luggage, and in the luggage. Therefore, even souvenir lighters from India are also removed from suitcases.

This is the queue for check-in for the Goa-Samara flight turned out at 4 am

Passenger check-in at international departure counters at Dabolim airport

At the Dabolim airport, the service of rewinding baggage with plastic film is available - it costs only 200 rupees... Compared to a similar service at Sheremetyevo, which costs 500 rubles- Indians ask for 2 times less.

We noticed another feature of the Goan airport: special tags are attached to all hand luggage. But this is not the most interesting thing - such tags are issued for carry-on luggage everywhere. But only at the Dabolim airport it will not work to bring carry-on luggage without tags on board: special seals are put on these tags after checking the carry-on luggage on the scanner, and without these seals you will not be allowed past customs control. At other airports, we often don't even attach Cabin baggage tags at all - and we never had a problem.

All in all, Harbour Air Goa is small, there are a lot of people, there are queues everywhere. Baggage drop-off and passage passport control takes an excruciatingly long time, it is better to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours in advance (of course, if you are not traveling by an organized transfer from a tour operator).

Until about 2017, no one asked this question: fruits in special baskets in hand luggage were passed without problems, even if the basket was not the only element of hand luggage, but was an addition to it. In fairness, it should be said that according to the rules, transporting fruit in hand luggage was always prohibited, but no one paid such serious attention to it.

It was in such baskets that fruits were exported from Goa in hand luggage before.

At the end of 2017, for some reason, this rule began to be followed with special care: all fruit baskets were forced to check in luggage. But they did not take money for them, as for additional luggage.

Nevertheless, we witnessed how our enterprising Russian tourists nevertheless carried fruit baskets in their hand luggage: they simply did not show them when checking in their luggage, and were successfully able to carry them aboard. The same tourists who asked the workers if it was possible to carry IT and pointed to the baskets were forced to check them in luggage.

It is worth saying that during our year in December 2017, all the baskets arrived safe and sound, they were not unloaded on a belt, but neatly brought all the baskets on a separate trolley and placed near the luggage belt.

Most of all, those tourists who were forced to hand over fruit baskets in their luggage were worried that at the Russian border (according to rumors) half of the fruits were confiscated by workers, and only a small part of what they were carrying reaches the owners. In view of this, they diligently wrapped the baskets with duct tape. Did the scotch help, or did the customs officers come across to us honest, but all the fruits checked in as luggage reached their owners in the same quantity as they were handed over.

Duty free and food courts at the airport

The duty-free zone in Dabolim is very, very modest (like in the Russian province). In fact, there is only one small shop with some alcohol and souvenirs, a few fast food nooks with very expensive prices, and that's it.

On the right is the same fast food corner. There are no tables where you can eat and drink what you bought. Passengers eat in chairs.

Departure hall: in the distance you can see the only mini-shop of duty-free, about nothing

When our flight was delayed by 4 hours, we had to buy expensive and tasteless (besides spicy) burgers at one of two food outlets in the departure area. There is no normal food here. Therefore, I can't even imagine how to feed the children here during the long delay of the plane. I strongly advise, just in case, to stock up on some healthier food for children in advance.

Goan airport from the side of the runway.

Goa airport is called Dabolim, it is here that all direct flights to Goa arrive, however, not very direct flights to Goa, also fly to Dabolim. Today, Goa Airport is a modern building made of glass and metal, but recently tourists were welcomed by the small and cozy Dabolim Airport. However, you can still see the building of the old Goan airport today, it is located a stone's throw from the new one.

Feature Goa airport is strict control at the entrance to the building of the air station. Only passengers with air tickets are allowed into the airport building; you can buy plane tickets right in front of the airport entrance. But if you are only seeing off friends or relatives, then a paid entrance to the territory of Dabolim airport is provided for you. In 2015, the entrance to the airport for two hours cost no more than 50 rupees per person.

Until the end of the 1990s, they were named by numbers (2 northern, 4 southern) and letter index ("E" - eastern, "W" - western). The naming system was later revised and today they carry letter names from A to E. Terminals A, C and E (north to south) are in the east, Terminals B and D (north to south) are in the west. Dallas / Fort Worth airports were designed to minimize the distance between passenger cars and aircraft and to reduce traffic around terminals. The consequence of this arrangement was extremely large distances between exits (in order to get from the exit at the end of the semicircular building to the exit at the other end of this building, you need to walk along the entire length of the semicircle of the building, no short paths of movement are provided). Since Dallas / Fort Worth became the largest American Airlines hub, this has caused serious problems. The passenger transportation system (opened with the airport, but known for low speed and one-way traffic) was replaced by SkyLink in April 2005, which connected all terminals and trains which travel in two directions and at a significantly higher speed. http: //site/file/b05tgqv3hq5z/bk3his8xgztc.jpg 972 973 8888
