On a connecting itinerary the total travel time depends on the airline you choose and on how long you wait at the transfer airport.
How to find cheap flights from Kutaisi to Copenhagen
- Book your tickets 1.5-2 months in advance.
- Travel midweek rather than at the weekend — demand on working days is lower, and so are the fares.
- Book both directions at once. Airlines and agencies usually price a return itinerary better than two separate one-way tickets.
- Use a search engine that brings together almost every airline and flight, so you can compare and book the option that suits you.
You can find and book cheap Kutaisi-Copenhagen tickets online quickly and comfortably with our search engine. Simply choose your departure and destination cities, enter the dates you want, and the system will show you every available flight so you can pick the fare that fits your budget.
Kutaisi – Copenhagen: the route at a glance
The distance between Kutaisi and Copenhagen is roughly 2,600 kilometres. A non-stop flight covers it in about 4 hours, while a connecting itinerary normally takes 7-12 hours depending on the length of the layover.
In December 2023 Wizz Air launched a direct Kutaisi-Copenhagen service twice a week with an Airbus A321neo — the first non-stop air link between Georgia and Denmark. That flight is no longer part of the airline’s current schedule, so the journey is now planned with a connection. Schedules change from season to season, so always check the current flights in our search engine before you travel.
Which cities make a convenient connection?
Kutaisi International Airport has non-stop flights to a number of European cities that are themselves connected to Copenhagen by direct services:
- Warsaw (WAW) — one of the most convenient options, as Warsaw-Copenhagen flights operate several times a day.
- Budapest (BUD) — Wizz Air’s largest base, with direct flights on to Copenhagen.
- Prague (PRG) — a good choice if you would like to see the city during a longer layover.
- Milan (Malpensa, MXP) — connected by direct flights to both Kutaisi and Copenhagen.
- Istanbul (Sabiha Gokcen, SAW) — frequent departures and, as a rule, a relatively short wait.
For your specific dates the search engine will pick the most convenient and affordable combination itself — all you need to do is enter the dates.
What to know about Copenhagen Airport
Copenhagen Airport (CPH), often called Kastrup, is the busiest air hub in Scandinavia and sits about 8 kilometres from the city centre.
Getting into town is easy: the train from the station at Terminal 3 reaches Copenhagen Central Station (Kobenhavn H) in about 13 minutes, while metro line M2 connects the airport with the city centre (Kongens Nytorv, Norreport) in roughly 13-15 minutes. The same ticket is valid on both and can be bought from the machines at the station.
Denmark’s currency is the Danish krone (DKK), not the euro, although card payments are accepted almost everywhere. The time difference between Georgia and Denmark is 2 hours in summer and 3 hours in winter, with Denmark behind.
Visa and border rules
Denmark is part of the Schengen area. Georgian citizens holding a biometric passport can travel there visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
Since 10 April 2026 the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) has been fully in operation: travellers have their photograph and fingerprints taken when crossing the border, and on later visits the data is checked electronically. Because of this, border control may take longer on your first trip.
Remember that your passport must remain valid for at least 3 months beyond the date you plan to leave the Schengen area. Border officers may also ask to see a return ticket, proof of accommodation and travel insurance. Visa and border rules change from time to time, so check the official sources before you travel.
Practical tips for a connecting flight
- If you buy the two legs separately from different airlines, your baggage is not transferred automatically — you will have to collect it, check it in again and check in for the second flight yourself.
- In that case allow at least 3-4 hours between flights, so that a delay on the first leg does not cost you the second one.
- With low-cost carriers, checked baggage and larger cabin bags cost extra — buy the allowance together with your ticket, because the same service is far more expensive at the airport. Sizes and prices differ from airline to airline, so check the carrier’s conditions before booking.
- Check in online in advance and either download your boarding pass to your phone or print it out.
- If your connection is at an airport inside the Schengen area, you will pass border control at that first European airport rather than in Copenhagen.
How to reach Kutaisi International Airport
Kutaisi International Airport (Kopitnari) lies about 23 kilometres west of central Kutaisi, so it is worth planning your departure day in advance.
- From Kutaisi — the airport shuttle bus runs around the clock on a fixed timetable, roughly every two hours; the trip takes about 40 minutes and the ticket can be paid for on board by card.
- From Tbilisi — Georgian Bus, Omnibus and Metro Georgia all run regular coaches to and from the airport. Departures are tied to the flight schedule and usually leave about 30-45 minutes after a flight lands. The drive takes around 3.5 hours and seats can be booked online.
- From Batumi — a coach or minivan takes roughly 2 hours; alternatively you can take the train from Batumi to Kutaisi and continue with the airport transfer.
Plan to be at the airport at least 2-2.5 hours before an international departure: with low-cost carriers the bag drop and check-in desks close a set time before departure, and latecomers are no longer accepted.
What to see in Copenhagen
Copenhagen is a compact city, and most of its main sights can be reached on foot or by bike.
- Nyhavn — the historic harbour lined with colourful houses and old wooden ships, and the city’s most recognisable view.
- Tivoli Gardens — one of Europe’s oldest amusement parks, right next to the central station; it opens seasonally, so check the schedule before your visit.
- The Little Mermaid — the statue on the Langelinie promenade that has become the symbol of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale.
- Rosenborg and Christiansborg palaces — home to the Danish crown jewels and to the working parliament.
- Stroget — one of the longest pedestrian shopping streets in Europe.
Getting around is simple: the metro is driverless and runs around the clock. Bicycles can be rented in practically every neighbourhood, and the network of cycle lanes is excellent. If you have time to spare, the train across the Oresund Bridge takes you to the Swedish city of Malmo in about half an hour — a worthwhile addition to the trip (remember to carry an identity document when crossing into Sweden).
Frequently asked questions
Is there a direct flight from Kutaisi to Copenhagen?

How long does the journey take?
Pure flying time is roughly 4.5-5 hours depending on the connecting city. With the layover, the whole trip usually takes 7-12 hours.
When are tickets cheapest?
The best fares are normally found in late autumn and in winter, while demand — and with it prices — rises over the summer months and the December holidays.
When is the best time to visit Copenhagen?
Between May and September the city is at its warmest and sunniest, the days are long and there are more events. Winter is wetter and darker, but flights and hotels are noticeably cheaper.
Do Georgian citizens need a visa for Denmark?
Holders of a biometric passport do not need a visa for a short visit — you may stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period in the Schengen area. A longer stay or any kind of work requires the appropriate permit.
How do I get to Kutaisi Airport from Tbilisi?
By the regular coaches that are timed to the flight schedule; the drive takes about 3.5 hours and it is best to book your seat online in advance.
