The domestic and international terminals are housed in the same building.
From Panaji (Panjim)), the State’s executive capital, take the Mala-Patto Bridge road towards highway 66 (Panvel-Kochi-Kanyakumari Highway). Follow highway 66, and after crossing the Cortalim Bridge, take a right onto highway 366; this road leads directly to the airport. The total drive time from Panaji to the airport is approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on traffic.
Public Transport
The nearest railway stations are Vasco da Gama and Dabolim, both can be reached by local bus or taxi. Train services, provided by Indian Railways (www.indianrail.gov.in), are available to a number of destinations nationwide.
Bus: Local buses, which are often very crowded and not very frequent, run to Chicalim and Vasco da Gama nearby.
Taxi: Pre-paid taxis are available at Goa International Airport. The pre-paid taxi service counter is located outside the terminal building. Fares to Panaji start from INR 870 (journey time: 45 minutes). The airport strongly recommends that no-one, including locals, use any other taxis due to scammers.
Shuttle: Goa Tourism runs a shuttle service for the route Calangute-Panaji-Goa Airport. There are only two trips daily, but the fare is low; INR 150 for passengers to Calangute, INR 100 to Panaji. Locally operated minibuses also provide links with Panaji. If travelling on a package holiday, transfers will most likely be organised by the tour operator, and many hotels in the region offer free shuttle services.

Food and drink can be purchased at shops and snack bars in the airport, and there is one restaurant before security.
Duty-free shops selling liquor, cigarettes, perfumes, toiletries, electronic items, watches and numerous other gift items are located in the international departures and arrivals areas. News, books, clothes and general goods are available in both terminals.

Car hire services are available in the domestic arrivals area of Goa International Airport.

If you wish to drive yourself, a deposit will usually have to be paid.
