Cheap flights from Mumbai to Goa Dabolim

Flying out of Mumbai

The city of Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is the capital city of the Maharashtra province and the most populous city in India. The city’s air travel is overseen by a busy international airport that also handles a healthy amount of domestic and regional traffic, Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (BOM). It’s the second biggest airport in India, and this location in Southeastern Asia makes it ideal for flights to both the eastern and western edges of the continent. You can find direct flights from BOM to YYZ in Toronto on national carrier Air Canada. The airport is based on the one-building terminal design which is divided into different sections.

• Terminal One also referred to as Santacruz, this terminal hosts domestic flights.
• Terminal Two or Sahar, handles both domestic and international traffic.

The airport is easy to access via private car or taxi, and there are four metro stations that also connect the airport with the surrounding urban and rural areas. These rail lines connect directly to both terminals, so you can easily connect between terminals or arrive directly at your departure terminal.

Airlines that Fly from Mumbai to Goa

Canadian airlines don’t service this route, but Canadian codeshare partners and alliance partners do. This 90-minute trip is used equally by travelers, tourists, commuters, and business people.

• Air India, a Star Alliance partner with Air Canada, is the national flagship airline and leads the way for flights between BOM and GOI with several direct departures every day.
• Jet Airways, which is also a codeshare partner with Air Canada, is based in Mumbai and serves several regional and international destinations, including GOI.
• GoAir another Mumbai-based airline, is India’s low cost carrier, which offers regular service between the two cities.

There are so many options to choose from for the route, regardless of your travel plans, that you can pick and choose what services you want, including perks like time of day and in-flight shopping. Fly Air India for full-service or choose a smaller, cheaper airline like GoAir to continue your budget trip.

Goa Airport Information

There is only one airport that services the province of Goa, and it also goes by the name Dabolim Airport (GOI). There is a single terminal building that hosts both domestic and international passengers, making connecting fairly easy. This airport hosts fewer international flights than BOM, and Canadian airlines don't have a presence here except through codeshare and alliance partnerships. If you’re leaving the airport, there are a myriad of other options aside from taxis or private cars.

• Indian Railways has a station at Goa, near the airport.
• Konkan Railway can connect you to other points throughout the province.
• Public buses run an extensive network throughout the region that includes the airport.
• Local mini buses provide transportation from the airport to several local urban stops in nearby Goa and other communities.

There are a lot of reasons for taking a short flight within India. You could take a bus and transverse the distance in 10 hours, but time is even more valuable than a cheap bus ticket. Even if you can’t fly with your favorite Canadian airline, that little bit of home is merely a codeshare partner away.
