Brussels airports — BRU or CRL?
Brussels is served by two airports, and before you buy a ticket it is important to know exactly which one you are flying from:
- Brussels Airport (BRU, Zaventem) — about 12 kilometres from the city centre. It has its own railway station directly beneath the terminal, and the train reaches Brussels-Central in roughly 20 minutes. This is the airport used by Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Turkish Airlines, LOT, airBaltic and Aegean Airlines.
- Brussels South Charleroi (CRL) — a low-cost airport about 50 kilometres south of the city. A dedicated shuttle bus runs to Brussels-Midi station in roughly one hour. This is the airport Wizz Air flies to Georgia from.
Please note: if you put your journey together from two separate tickets and one of the flights departs from Charleroi, allow more than two hours to travel between the two airports.
A direct flight from Brussels to Georgia — the Kutaisi alternative
Although there is no direct flight on the Brussels – Tbilisi route, Wizz Air operates direct flights from Brussels South Charleroi (CRL) to David the Builder Kutaisi International Airport (KUT). This is often the cheapest way to reach Georgia from Brussels.
Shuttle buses run regularly from Kutaisi airport to Tbilisi and are timed around the flight schedule; the journey takes about 4 hours. So, before you make your final choice, compare the two options:
- a connecting flight from Brussels to Tbilisi (BRU → TBS);
- a direct flight from Brussels to Kutaisi (CRL → KUT) followed by ground transport to Tbilisi.
Keep in mind that with low-cost airlines, checked baggage is a paid extra on top of your cabin bag — so include the cost of baggage when you compare fares.
Useful information before you travel
Distance and time difference
The distance between Brussels and Tbilisi is roughly 3,200 kilometres. Georgia is on GMT+4 and does not switch to summer time, so the difference from Brussels is 3 hours in winter and 2 hours in summer. Keep this in mind in particular when you are working out how much time you have for a connection.
Visas and documents
Citizens of Belgium and other EU countries do not need a visa to enter Georgia and may stay in the country for up to one year. Georgian citizens need a biometric passport to travel to Belgium — holders of one may enter the Schengen area without a visa for 90 days within any 180-day period. Visa rules and requirements change from time to time, so check the official sources before you travel.
Currency and getting from the airport into town
Payments in Georgia are made in the national currency, the lari (GEL); currency exchange desks and ATMs are available at Tbilisi airport. Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) is about 17 kilometres from the city centre, and you can reach town by taxi, by transfer or on bus No. 37.
Frequently asked questions
Are there direct flights from Brussels to Tbilisi?
No, there is currently no direct service on the BRU – TBS route. The journey is made with one stop — in Istanbul, Vienna, Munich, Warsaw, Riga or Athens.
How long does the journey take?
A one-stop journey usually takes between 7 and 12 hours. The exact time depends on the city you connect in and how long you wait for your onward flight.
When is the best time to buy a ticket?
The best fares are usually found 1.5–2 months before departure. Demand — and with it prices — is highest in the summer months and over the New Year period.
Can my baggage be checked through to the final destination?
If you buy the whole itinerary on a single ticket, your baggage is normally checked through to Tbilisi. If you book the flights separately, you will have to collect and re-check it at the connecting airport — in that case allow more time for the transfer.
