Is there a direct flight from Düsseldorf to Kutaisi?
There is no direct flight between Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) and Kutaisi International Airport. Flights to Kutaisi are operated mainly by the Hungarian low-cost carrier Wizz Air, and Düsseldorf is not part of its route network. That leaves two sensible options: either depart from a German city that does have a direct flight to Kutaisi, or buy a connecting ticket to Tbilisi and cover the rest of the way overland.
The most convenient option — Dortmund Airport
The closest airport to Düsseldorf with a direct flight to Kutaisi is Dortmund (DTM). Wizz Air operates two flights a week on this route; the Dortmund – Kutaisi flight takes roughly 4 hours 15 minutes, over a distance of about 2,835 kilometres.
Düsseldorf and Dortmund are only 70–80 kilometres apart: the train from Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof to Dortmund Hauptbahnhof takes about an hour, and it is another 25–30 minutes from the station to the airport by bus or shuttle train. All in all, this option often works out both cheaper and faster than a connecting ticket.
Keep in mind that Wizz Air adjusts its schedule each season, so always check the flight days and times at the moment of booking.
Connecting route — travelling via Tbilisi
If you would rather have the whole journey on a single ticket, the usual way into Georgia from Düsseldorf is one stopover and a landing at Tbilisi International Airport. Popular options are:
- Turkish Airlines — connecting at Istanbul Airport;
- Pegasus Airlines — connecting at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport;
- LOT Polish Airlines — connecting in Warsaw;
- Austrian Airlines — connecting in Vienna;
- Lufthansa — connecting in Munich or Frankfurt;
- airBaltic — connecting in Riga.
Tbilisi and Kutaisi are about 220 kilometres apart — the drive by car or minibus takes 3–4 hours, and there are also trains running between the two cities.
German cities with direct flights to Kutaisi
Wizz Air connects Kutaisi directly with several German cities:
- Dortmund (DTM) — the closest one to Düsseldorf;
- Berlin (BER);
- Hamburg (HAM);
- Memmingen (FMM) — in the Munich region;
- Frankfurt-Hahn (HHN).
If you can get a cheap train ticket from Düsseldorf to one of these cities, the total cost is often lower than a connecting air ticket.
Baggage on Wizz Air flights
- One small piece of hand luggage travels free of charge — up to 40×30×20 cm, small enough to fit under the seat in front of you;
- A larger trolley bag (55×40×23 cm) requires WIZZ Priority or a fare that includes it;
- Checked baggage (10, 20, 26 or 32 kg) costs extra and is always cheaper when bought online in advance than at the airport;
- Online check-in is free while airport check-in is charged, so print your boarding pass beforehand or download it to your phone.
Kutaisi Airport — practical information
David the Builder Kutaisi International Airport (KUT) sits in Kopitnari, about 14 kilometres from Kutaisi. In 2024 it handled more than 1.7 million passengers, which makes it the second busiest airport in Georgia.
Shuttle buses run from the airport to the centre of Kutaisi, to Tbilisi and to Batumi, and their timetable is built around arriving and departing flights. It is best to buy your ticket online in advance — especially for night flights.

- Your passport must remain valid for at least 3 months beyond the date you leave the Schengen area;
- Border officers may ask to see a return ticket, travel insurance and proof of accommodation;

Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I buy the ticket?
On this route the best fares usually appear 6–10 weeks before departure. For the summer months and the Christmas and New Year period it pays to book even earlier, because seats sell out quickly.
What is the cheapest way from Düsseldorf to Kutaisi?
In most cases it is the train to Dortmund followed by the direct Wizz Air flight to Kutaisi. If the flight days do not suit your plans, compare the Berlin and Hamburg options as well.
How long does the whole journey take?
The direct flight from Dortmund takes about 4 hours 15 minutes. A connecting route via Tbilisi, including the overland leg, normally takes 10–14 hours, depending on the length of the layover.
Can I fly without checked baggage?
Yes. If you travel with a small cabin bag only, no extra fee applies. Just remember the liquids rule: in hand luggage every container may hold at most 100 ml, and they all have to fit into one transparent one-litre bag.
