Cost effective Flights to Goa
Convenient ways to book Goa Tickets
No International direct Flights to Goa
Goa Airport (Dabolim Airport) is owned and controlled by the Indian navy so there are currently no scheduled international direct Flights to Goa- only domestic flights, a handful of Air India flights from the Middle East and charter flights. Since charter companies occasionally have spare seats to sell, it's worth contacting them even if you don't want a package trip. Most charter flights into Goa run from the UK and Germany, plus a few from the Netherlands, Russia and Finland. Direct charter flights to Goa from Israel are also being considered.Two-Part Journey
For most independent travellers, getting to Goa involves a two-part journey that begins with a flight to Mumbai (Bombay) followed by another flight, or rail or bus trip, for the 600km south to Goa. If you're coming from Southeast Asia, Australia or New Zealand, it would be worth checking fares to Chennai (Madras), 1000km from Goa.BY AIR

You can fly direct to Goa from the UK (usually from Gatwick and Manchester), either on a seat-only charter flight or on a package trip that includes flight and accommodation.
