Which Stockholm airport will you fly from?
Stockholm is served by several airports, so always check which one appears on your booking before you buy a ticket:
- Arlanda (ARN) — the main international airport, about 40 km from the city centre. It offers the widest choice of connecting destinations.
- Skavsta (NYO) — located near Nykoping, roughly 100 km from Stockholm, and used mainly by low-cost carriers.
- Vasteras (VST) — a small airport, also around 100 km from the city centre.
Getting to Skavsta or Vasteras by bus takes an extra 1 to 1.5 hours, so factor that time in when you plan a connecting itinerary.
The most convenient transfer cities
Kutaisi International Airport is connected directly to a number of European cities, so travellers from Stockholm most often use one of the following hubs:
- Warsaw — Wizz Air operates regular flights from Warsaw to Kutaisi, and the flight from Stockholm to Warsaw takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
- Vilnius — another Wizz Air route to Kutaisi, reachable from Stockholm with a short flight.
- Istanbul (Sabiha Gokcen) — the Pegasus Airlines hub, with direct flights on to Kutaisi.
- Budapest, Milan and Rome — these cities also have direct links to Kutaisi, although routing through them makes the journey longer.
Schedules change from season to season, so always check the flights available on your specific dates before booking.
Stockholm to Kutaisi: distance and flight time
The direct distance between Stockholm and Kutaisi is roughly 2,550 kilometres. Time actually spent in the air across both legs averages about 5 hours, while the total journey depends on the length of your layover:
- with a short layover of 1.5 to 3 hours — around 7 to 8 hours in total;
- with a long layover or an overnight wait — 12 hours or more.
If you buy two separate tickets (for example Stockholm to Warsaw with one airline and Warsaw to Kutaisi with another), leave at least 3 hours for the connection: if the first flight is delayed, the second airline takes no responsibility for the missed departure.
Baggage and extras
Low-cost fares normally include only a small bag that fits under the seat in front of you. A larger cabin bag, checked baggage and seat selection are all paid extras, so include them when you compare final prices — a “cheap” ticket with added baggage often ends up costing more than a full-service fare.
Keep in mind, too, that if your itinerary is made up of two separate tickets with different airlines, your luggage will not be checked through to your final destination: you will need to collect it at the transfer airport and check it in again.
