Which airline offers the cheapest Baku Tbilisi tickets?
Buta Airways was the low-cost carrier on this route and it offered the most budget-friendly fares on Baku Tbilisi tickets. Today those low fares are sold directly by Azerbaijan Airlines – see the section below on the merger of the two brands.
How long is the flight from Baku to Tbilisi?
A direct flight from Baku to Tbilisi takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes. The total time of a connecting flight depends on how long you wait at the transfer airport.
How to find cheap Baku Tbilisi tickets
- Book your ticket 1.5-2 months in advance.
- Choose a midweek departure rather than a weekend – demand is lower on working days and fares are cheaper.
- Buy both legs at once. Airlines and agencies usually offer a better price for a return ticket than for two separate one-way tickets.
- Use a search engine that brings almost every airline and flight together in one place, so that booking the ticket you want is much easier.
Baku and Tbilisi airports
Flights from Baku depart from Heydar Aliyev International Airport (airport code GYD). It lies about 20 kilometres from the city centre and is the main base of Azerbaijan Airlines. In Tbilisi, aircraft land at Tbilisi International Airport (code TBS), roughly 17 kilometres from the city centre. Both airports are connected to the centre by taxi, bus and transfer services.
Buta Airways has merged into AZAL
At the end of 2023 Azerbaijan Airlines and its low-cost subsidiary Buta Airways completed their merger into a single brand. In practice this means that direct Baku Tbilisi flights are now operated by Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL), and when you book you will see the AZAL name instead of Buta Airways. Low-cost economy fares are still available – they are simply part of AZAL’s own fare range now.
Visa and travel documents
Citizens of Georgia do not need a visa to enter Azerbaijan and may stay in the country for up to 90 days. For air travel a valid passport is required – an ID card is not enough. Before you fly, check the expiry date of your passport as well as the airline’s current rules, because border regulations can change over time.
Time difference
There is no time difference between Georgia and Azerbaijan – both countries are in the same time zone (UTC+4). The departure and arrival times shown on your ticket are local times, so no conversion is needed.
Baggage and check-in
- Hand baggage and checked baggage allowances depend on the fare you choose – the cheapest tickets often include cabin baggage only.
- Buying an extra baggage allowance online in advance is almost always cheaper than paying for it at the airport.
- Online check-in on the airline’s website usually opens 24 hours before departure and saves you time in the airport queue.
- For an international flight, plan to be at the airport at least 2 hours before departure.
Alternative ways to travel
If air tickets are expensive on your dates, Baku and Tbilisi are also connected by land – there is an overnight train as well as regular buses. The journey takes considerably longer than a flight, but it often costs less. If your time is limited, a direct flight is still the most comfortable option.
