Near the T1 check-in desks, this Newsstand is your basics stop
This small Newsstand in Terminal 1 sits airside, past security, so you can grab reading material after clearing checks. Stock skews practical: English newspapers, a few national magazines, plus some light paperbacks. Expect typical airport markups of around 20–30% over city prices. It’s useful if your flight from GOI runs late into the evening and you want something that doesn’t need Wi‑Fi or battery.
Opening hours generally mirror T1’s first and last departures, roughly 3:00 to 23:00, though closing can drift earlier in the off‑season. You’ll find standard snacks near the counter: chips, packaged biscuits, and a small fridge with bottled water and soft drinks. Figure on ₹40–₹60 for water and ₹80–₹150 for snacks. If you want a bigger meal, you’re better off at one of the food outlets in the same terminal corridor.
The Newsstand’s souvenir shelf leans heavily on Goa themes: beach‑print keychains, inexpensive fridge magnets, and packet spices. Prices run from around ₹150 for small trinkets up to ₹500–₹700 for spice gift packs. Quality is tourist‑grade, not artisan, so buy here only if you’ve run out of time in town. Staff usually accept cards plus UPI, which helps if you’re burning the last of your rupees.
Final tip: stop here after security but before you head to your T1 gate; selection gets thinner the closer you are to boarding areas.
