Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD) is Spain’s main air hub and has four terminals. Wizz Air’s non-Schengen flights, including the Georgian route, are handled at Terminal 1 (T1), where the check-in desks are on level P1. You can move between terminals by free shuttle bus or by metro, but it takes time, so plan to get to the airport early.
David the Builder Kutaisi International Airport (KUT) lies in Kopitnari, about 14 kilometres west of Kutaisi. It has a single passenger terminal and a 2,500-metre runway, and travellers are served by a duty free shop and a couple of cafés inside the building.
