Which airlines fly from Batumi to Antalya?

How long is the flight from Batumi to Antalya?

Total travel time between Batumi and Antalya depends on how long you wait at the connecting airport, but it usually comes to roughly 5–6 hours.

Thinking of travelling to Antalya and spending time in this beautiful destination? Here is what is worth knowing about this resort and port city before you go.

• Beautiful beaches

As almost everyone knows, the Antalya region is famous for its beaches, sweeping views and the shoreline often called the Turquoise Coast. You will find a wide choice of gorgeous bays here, each with its own impressive stretch of sand, and plenty of lovely places to spend the day.

• Spectacular nature

Antalya’s long coastline is lined with beaches framed by mountains and cliffs that make a remarkable contrast with the turquoise water. And if you are looking for something a little different, there are several waterfalls nearby that are genuinely worth the trip.

• Wonderful food

Turkey is known for its traditional cooking, and Antalya is a wonderful place to get to know the country’s cuisine and the range of flavours it offers. Dishes worth trying while you are there include pide, the Turkish take on pizza, made with vegetables, meat and cheese, and of course kebab, which belongs on everyone’s list. You will also find a huge variety of desserts, among them künefe, made with cheese and syrup.

Batumi – Antalya: a practical guide before you plan the trip

Because there is no direct flight between Batumi and Antalya, choosing the right routing makes a real difference to both your travel time and the price of your ticket. Below we have gathered the practical details that are worth knowing before you book.

The airports: Batumi (BUS) and Antalya (AYT)

• Batumi International Airport (BUS) — sits about 2 kilometres south of the city centre, so the drive in from town takes only a few minutes. The terminal was expanded between 2019 and 2021 and is now built for roughly 1.2 million passengers a year.
• Antalya Airport (AYT) — lies about 13 kilometres north-east of the city centre. It has three terminals: Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 handle international flights, while a separate terminal serves domestic ones. Since the Istanbul–Antalya leg is a domestic Turkish flight, you will arrive at the domestic terminal — worth keeping in mind when you arrange a transfer or a hotel pick-up.

Your routing options

• Batumi → Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) → Antalya. Pegasus Airlines flies from Batumi into Sabiha Gökçen and also serves Antalya from the same airport. The advantage is a single-airport connection and, as a rule, one ticket with one airline.
• Batumi → Istanbul (IST) → Antalya. Turkish Airlines flies from Batumi into Istanbul’s main airport (IST), and the onward flight to Antalya departs from there as well.
• Tbilisi → Antalya. During the summer season direct flights from Tbilisi to Antalya also appear. If getting from Batumi to Tbilisi does not put you off, this option sometimes wins on both time and price, because it removes the connection altogether.
• Via Trabzon. Batumi is close to the Sarpi land border, and from Trabzon Airport (TZX) both Pegasus Airlines and SunExpress fly directly to Antalya. This option means some travel overland, but the flying part is already non-stop.

Connections: what to watch out for

• One ticket or two separate ones. When both legs sit on the same booking, the airline is responsible for a missed connection and your bags are usually checked through to the final destination. With two separate tickets, a delay on the first flight means losing the second one, and the risk is entirely yours.
• Layover length. Istanbul’s airports are large and busy, so a connection of under two hours is risky. If you are travelling on two separate tickets, it is better to allow three to four hours.
• Two different airports. Istanbul has two of them — IST and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). They sit on opposite sides of the city and getting from one to the other often takes more than two hours. Before you buy, make sure both flights use the same airport.
• Baggage rules. Low-cost fares often include hand luggage only, with checked bags charged separately. When you compare tickets, always add the cost of baggage — sometimes the more expensive fare works out cheaper overall.
• Documents. Georgian citizens do not need a visa for Turkey and may stay for up to 90 days, and entry is possible with a national ID card. Even so, airlines may still ask for a passport when you fly, so check your carrier’s conditions before you travel.

Frequently asked questions about Batumi – Antalya flights

Is there a direct flight from Batumi to Antalya?

No. Batumi Airport has no non-stop service to Antalya — the route is covered with one connection, most often through Istanbul.

How long does the whole journey take?

That depends on the layover: with a convenient connection the trip comes to roughly 5–6 hours, while a long wait can stretch it to 8–10.

When is the best time to book?

Antalya is a classic summer destination and demand peaks in July and August, so for those dates it is best to book 1.5–2 months ahead. In spring (May and June) and autumn (September and October) fares are noticeably lower and the weather is still ideal for a beach holiday.

Will my bags be transferred automatically in Istanbul?

If both flights are on the same booking, your luggage is usually checked through to the final destination and you do not need to collect it in Istanbul. With two separate tickets you will almost always have to check it in again.

Is it better to fly from Batumi or from Tbilisi?

If a direct seasonal flight from Tbilisi is available, it often wins on time. Outside the season, the Batumi–Istanbul–Antalya option is more reliably available. Either way, it is worth comparing the fares side by side.
