Planning a trip from Düsseldorf to Tbilisi? Then read on — this guide brings together everything you need to know before you book.
Which airlines fly from Düsseldorf to Tbilisi?
Airlines have served the Düsseldorf–Tbilisi route with both non-stop and connecting flights.
The non-stop service was operated by the German low-cost carrier Eurowings, twice a week, every Thursday and Sunday.
Another German airline, Lufthansa, also connects Düsseldorf and Tbilisi. Lufthansa flies the route with a change of aircraft, taking passengers from Düsseldorf to Tbilisi via Munich.
The Turkish carriers Pegasus Airlines and Turkish Airlines operate connecting flights every day, routing passengers through Istanbul.
Which airline has the cheapest flights from Düsseldorf to Tbilisi?
Pegasus Airlines usually offers the most budget-friendly fares on this route.
How long is the flight between Düsseldorf and Tbilisi?
A non-stop flight on the Düsseldorf–Tbilisi route takes around 4 hours and 15 minutes.
How to find cheap flights from Düsseldorf to Tbilisi
- Book your ticket 1.5–2 months before you travel.
- Choose a midweek departure rather than a weekend one. Demand for travel is lower on working days, so fares tend to be cheaper too.
- Buy both legs of your journey at once. Airlines and agencies usually quote better prices for a return ticket than for two one-way tickets bought separately.
- Use a search engine that gathers almost every airline and flight in one place, so you can find and book the ticket you want with less effort.

Current status of the route: non-stop or with a connection?
It is worth keeping in mind that non-stop flights between Düsseldorf and Tbilisi have always been seasonal, and the schedule changes from year to year. Eurowings has suspended its non-stop Düsseldorf–Tbilisi service, and Georgian Airways flew the route only during the summer season. As a result, passengers travelling between the two cities today normally fly with one connection.
Eurowings does still fly to Georgia from Germany, serving Tbilisi from Stuttgart. Because airlines often bring seasonal routes back, it is always worth checking the current schedule in our search engine before you book.
The most convenient connecting routes
- Turkish Airlines — a change in Istanbul (IST). The most flexible option, with several departures a day.
- Pegasus Airlines and AJet — a change at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). Often the cheapest way to fly.
- Lufthansa — a change in Munich (MUC) or Frankfurt (FRA).
- LOT Polish Airlines — a change in Warsaw (WAW).
- Austrian Airlines — a change in Vienna (VIE).
On price, the Istanbul routings are usually the most attractive; on comfort and baggage allowance, the European carriers tend to win.
How long does the journey take with a connection?
A non-stop flight from Düsseldorf to Tbilisi takes about 4 hours and 15 minutes. With one connection, the whole journey normally lasts between 7 and 12 hours, depending on the length of the layover. The shortest options usually go via Istanbul, because both legs of the flight are relatively short.
Baggage and hand luggage
With low-cost carriers such as Pegasus, checked baggage is usually not included in the fare and has to be bought separately. Adding it online in advance is considerably cheaper than paying at the airport. Full-service airlines — Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines — include a checked bag in their standard fares.
When you book a connecting flight, make sure your baggage is checked through to your final destination. This matters most when you have bought the two legs as two separate tickets: in that case you need to allow time for collecting and re-checking your bags during the transfer.
Düsseldorf Airport (DUS)
Düsseldorf Airport is one of Germany’s largest aviation hubs and sits about 8 kilometres from the city centre. It has three terminals — A, B and C — housed in a single building and easily reachable on foot from one another. From the city you can get there on the S-Bahn (line S11), or on the SkyTrain from the long-distance railway station.
Getting from Tbilisi Airport into the city
Tbilisi International Airport is roughly 17 kilometres from the city centre.
- Bus No. 37 — the cheapest option. It runs around the clock and goes all the way to Freedom Square, taking 40 to 60 minutes.
- Taxi — 20 to 30 minutes to the centre. It is best to order a car through an app (Bolt, Yandex Go), as drivers waiting outside the terminal often quote inflated fares.
Time difference
Georgia is on UTC+4 all year round and does not switch to summer time. Tbilisi is therefore 2 hours ahead of Germany in summer and 3 hours ahead in winter. Remember that the departure and arrival times shown on your ticket are always local times.
Visas and entry rules
Citizens of EU countries, Germany included, can enter Georgia without a visa and stay for up to one year. Georgian citizens with a biometric passport can travel to the Schengen area visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
Since 2026, foreign nationals entering Georgia have also been required to hold travel medical insurance covering the whole of their stay. Because these rules are reviewed and refined from time to time, check the official information on the Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs consular portal — geoconsul.gov.ge — before you travel.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a non-stop flight from Düsseldorf to Tbilisi?
There is currently no scheduled non-stop service on this route, so the journey involves one connection. Non-stop flights have been operated seasonally in the past, so it is worth checking the schedule at the start of each season.
Which is the fastest routing?
Usually the one via Istanbul, with Turkish Airlines or Pegasus. The layover is short and both legs of the flight are relatively quick, so the total journey time is the lowest.
How far in advance should I book?
On this route the sweet spot is 1.5 to 3 months before departure. During the summer season, and around New Year and Easter, seats sell out faster and prices climb, so it pays to book even earlier.
Which season is cheapest?
The lowest fares appear in the winter months (January and February) and in the second half of autumn. July, August and late December are the most expensive periods.
Do I need a transit visa when changing planes?
If you change planes at an airport inside the Schengen area (Munich, Frankfurt, Vienna, Warsaw), Georgian citizens with a biometric passport do not need an additional transit visa. Georgian citizens travelling via Istanbul do not need a Turkish visa either.
