Just read an article in the Indian Times

It says that flights into Goa may be halted till safety equipment that has been taken off line has been reinstated.
This might take till April 30th.

We are due to fly from Mumbai to Goa on the 24th.
Lets hope for my sake it is resolved before then.

Is it a long walk from Mumbai to Goa?

Re: INTERNAL FLIGHTS/MUMBAI,DABOLIM AIRPORTS- Q&As

think its only Indian Airlines refusing to land at Dabolim Steve... its because the landing equipment doesnt work here, we met a pilot up at Arambol the other day and he was telling us about it.............seems it hasnt worked for ages and therefore all the pilots just land by themselves :yikes

no stress then!!!!!!!!!!! worst comes to the worse you will have to catch a train :tup

I have noticed there is a duty free shop in the arrivals hall at Dabolim Airport, is it open for all international flights? we arrive at 03:30 from Manchester Via Doha, just wondering where to buy the grog :que

Re: INTERNAL FLIGHTS/MUMBAI,DABOLIM AIRPORTS- Q&As

From memory (not working at its best, alas), the duty free was open when we arrived on the same flight last year. I seem to recall wandering into it whilst waiting for the carousels to start. It's very small.

I wouldn't worry though, you can get your grog cheaply in the resorts at 9am.

Preacher,

1. I didn't notice any change in the cards.

2. It states the name should appear as in your passport, to be safe I would make sure there is a space!

3.Can't remember what question 6 was but, I remember answering one question with none!!!

4. It would be the flight number from Doha to Goa(the actual flight number you have that lands in India)

Hope it's of some help

They'll give you arrival cards on the plane. If not, they're available in the arrivals hall. Keep details of your passport and visa numbers and dates handy - it saves having to get them out and messing about.

Re: INTERNAL FLIGHTS/MUMBAI,DABOLIM AIRPORTS- Q&As

I know its probably been covered a thousand times before but am looking at flying scheduled for the first time this April. Flight into Mumbai with BA lands around 11.15am and theres a jet flight out of Mumbai at 14.35 and another jet flight 2 hous later. Ill have my 2 children with me. Is the 3 hrs enough time to clear immigration, collect bags etc and check in for the jet flight or would it be safer to book the next domestic flight at around 5pm. Really cant decide.

Can anyone tell me if 2hrs 15mins is enough to get from Gulf Air flight (international terminal) to Air India for a domestic flight onto Goa? we land on a Monday evening at 6pm is that makes any difference? - worried i have not allowed enough time now!!! :whoops

I'd be interested to know whether it was!! It wasn't for us and we missed our flight.

The baggage handling is very slow and then you have to go through formalities and get the (slow) bus to the domestic airport and then start queueing again. I reckon you need at leat 3 hours - possibly more on a bad day!
