How to find cheap Rome – Kutaisi flight tickets
- Book your tickets 1.5-2 months in advance.
- Travel mid-week rather than at the weekend: demand is lower on working days, so tickets tend to be cheaper.
- Buy both legs at the same time. Airlines and agencies usually offer better prices for a return ticket than for two one-way tickets bought separately.
- Use a search engine that brings almost every airline and flight together in one place, so you can find and book the ticket you want more easily.
The airports: Rome Fiumicino and Kutaisi International
The flight departs from Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci Airport (IATA code FCO), located in the town of Fiumicino, roughly 30 kilometres from the centre of Rome. It is Italy’s largest airport and has several terminals, so always double-check which terminal your flight is checking in from before you set off.
You land at David the Builder Kutaisi International Airport (IATA code KUT), which sits in Kopitnari, about 14 kilometres west of Kutaisi. The airport is small and has a single terminal, so passport control and baggage reclaim are usually quick.
Getting to and from the airports
In Rome: Fiumicino is connected to the city by rail. A direct express train reaches the central Roma Termini station in about half an hour, while a cheaper regional service calls at other Rome stations (Trastevere, Ostiense, Tiburtina). Shuttle buses also run to the city, and taxis charge a fixed fare between the airport and Rome’s historic centre.
In Kutaisi: regular shuttle buses run from the airport to Kutaisi, Tbilisi and Batumi, and their timetable is built around the flight schedule. It is worth booking a seat in advance, especially in the summer season. Taxis and pre-booked private transfers are also available.
When is the best time to fly from Rome to Kutaisi?
- Summer (June-September) – peak demand. Tickets are at their most expensive and the cheapest seats sell out quickly, so book as early as you can for these dates.
- Spring and autumn – the best balance of price and weather. These seasons are especially pleasant for sightseeing in Rome, before the summer heat and crowds arrive or once they have passed.
- Winter – the lowest fares, although flights may operate less frequently, so you will need more flexibility with your dates.
Visas, documents and the time difference
- Holders of a Georgian biometric passport do not need a visa for Italy – they may stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.
- Your passport should remain valid for at least three months beyond the date you plan to leave the Schengen Area.
- Border officers may ask to see a return ticket, proof of accommodation, travel insurance and evidence of sufficient funds, so keep these documents to hand.
- The European Union is introducing ETIAS, an electronic travel authorisation for citizens of visa-free countries. Check before you travel whether it is already in force for your travel dates.
- Time difference: Georgia is three hours ahead of Italy in winter and two hours ahead in summer, because Italy observes daylight saving time while Georgia does not.
