So book your flight tickets from Kutaisi to Dubai and see the fastest-growing city on earth for yourself.
Which airlines fly from Kutaisi to Dubai?
There are no direct flights from Kutaisi to Dubai, but you can put the route together yourself and reach your destination with just one connection.
Flights out of Kutaisi airport are operated by Wizz Air, which will take you to Warsaw; from there you continue to Dubai airport on a FlyDubai flight.
Alternatively, you can fly with Wizz Air to Larnaca and then travel on to Dubai directly with Cyprus Airways. Riga airport is another option, with onward flights offered by AirBaltic.
The best option, however, is to fly with Wizz Air into Abu Dhabi airport, which you can reach on a direct flight from Kutaisi; from there you can continue to central Dubai by bus or taxi.
How long is the flight from Kutaisi to Dubai?
On a self-assembled connecting itinerary the journey takes 10-12 hours, while the flight to Abu Dhabi itself is 3 hours and 30 minutes.
One piece of advice: if you are building a route with a connection, leave at least 2 hours between flights so that you avoid missing your onward flight or running into any other disruption.
What to see in Dubai
- Burj Khalifa
Dubai’s best-known landmark and the city’s calling card is the Burj Khalifa, which stands 828 m tall and is the tallest building in the world. This magnificent structure sits in the heart of the city and opens up spectacular views over the whole of Dubai from the top.
- The choreographed fountain
On the grounds of the Burj Khalifa you will find one of the largest choreographed fountains in the world, shooting water up to 150 metres into the air and performing its routines to music.
- Palm Jumeirah, the artificial island
Palm Jumeirah is one of the largest man-made islands in the world and offers an enormous selection of high-end hotels.
- The desert
Less than 20 minutes from the modern streets of central Dubai lies the mystery-filled Arabian desert – a place you simply have to visit while you are in Dubai, to enjoy the remarkable activities that charm every visitor and leave unforgettable impressions.
How to buy cheap flight tickets from Kutaisi to Dubai
- Book your tickets 1.5-2 months in advance.
- Buy both legs of a round trip at the same time.
- Take advantage of low-cost airlines.
- Travel with hand luggage only.
- Plan your trip outside the high season.
Kutaisi-Dubai: key route information
- Departure airport: Kutaisi David the Builder International Airport (code KUT), about 14 kilometres west of the city centre. Buses leave the airport for Kutaisi, Tbilisi and Batumi after every arrival.
- Arrival airport: Dubai’s main air hub is Dubai International Airport (DXB); the city’s second airport is Al Maktoum (DWC). Check which airport you are landing at before you buy your ticket.
- Time difference: there is none. Georgia and the United Arab Emirates are both on UTC+4, so jet lag is practically a non-issue.
- Currency: the local currency is the UAE dirham (AED), which is pegged to the US dollar.
An alternative: flying direct from Tbilisi
Because there is no direct service from Kutaisi to Dubai, many travellers buy their ticket out of Tbilisi airport instead. The direct Tbilisi (TBS) – Dubai (DXB) route is operated by flydubai; the distance is roughly 2,060 kilometres and the time in the air is about 3 hours and 10 minutes.
Tbilisi is only a few hours from Kutaisi by bus, train or car, so it is worth comparing the two options side by side: a connecting flight from Kutaisi versus a direct flight from Tbilisi. Compare more than the ticket price – look at total travel time, the cost of getting to the airport and baggage fees.
Visa rules and the documents you need
Georgia and the United Arab Emirates have a mutual visa-waiver agreement: Georgian citizens do not need a visa to visit Dubai as tourists and may stay in the country for up to 90 cumulative days.
- A passport valid for at least six months from the date of entry.
- Travel health insurance covering the period of your trip.
- A return or onward ticket.
Visa rules change over time, so always double-check the details with official sources before you travel. If you are assembling the route with a connection – through Warsaw or Larnaca, for example – read up on the transit rules in advance and consider whether you will need to leave the transit area.
Baggage and connections: what to watch out for
- Wizz Air baggage allowance: the fare includes one small personal item – 40x30x20 cm and up to 10 kg. Taking a larger 55x40x23 cm cabin bag on board requires WIZZ Priority, and checked bags (10, 20, 26 and 32 kg) are priced separately.
- Separate tickets are not one itinerary: if you bought two flights from different airlines separately, your bags will not be checked through to your final destination – you have to collect them at the connecting airport and check in again.
- Leave yourself a buffer: with separate tickets, the second airline is not responsible if the first flight is delayed. Allow at least 4-5 hours for the connection, and even more if the two flights use different airports.
- Flights combined on a single booking are far safer: if you miss the connection, the airline is obliged to rebook you onto an alternative flight.
The best time to travel to Dubai
- November to March: the most comfortable period, with daytime temperatures mostly between 20 and 30 degrees. This is high season, so both flights and hotels cost more.
- June to August: very hot months, with temperatures often above 40 degrees. In return, this is the cheapest time of year for both airfares and hotel rates.
- Ramadan: the dates shift from year to year. During this period there are restrictions on eating and drinking in public during daylight hours, so check the exact dates before you plan your trip.
