Memmingen Airport (FMM): what to know before you fly
Memmingen Airport (Allgäu Airport Memmingen, IATA code FMM) is in Bavaria, about 5 km from the town of Memmingen and roughly 115 km west of Munich — which is why it is often marketed as “Munich West”.
- Airlines: the airport is served mainly by low-cost carriers — Ryanair, Wizz Air, Buzz, Lauda Europe and SunExpress.
- Terminal: there is a single, fairly compact terminal, so check-in and security usually do not take long.
- Getting to the airport: a bus runs to Memmingen’s central bus station (ZOB, next to the railway station) in about 12 minutes, while the direct Allgäu-Airport-Express coach reaches Munich’s main station in roughly 1 hour 30 minutes.
The closest non-stop flight to Georgia: Memmingen – Kutaisi
There is no non-stop service from Memmingen to Tbilisi, but there is a non-stop flight to Georgia: Wizz Air connects Memmingen with Kutaisi International Airport (code KUT), which is the airline’s Georgian base.
- The distance from Memmingen to Kutaisi is about 2,600 km and the flight normally takes 4–5 hours.
- The service is not daily — there are a few departures a week and the number changes with the season, so check the exact dates before booking.
- Memmingen also has a non-stop link to Yerevan (EVN), which is another way of reaching the Caucasus.
Continuing from Kutaisi to Tbilisi
- Bus: Georgian Bus services are timed to flight arrivals and run from the airport straight to Liberty Square in Tbilisi in about 4 hours; a one-way ticket costs around 25 GEL and a return around 45 GEL.
- Train: from Kopitnari station near the airport the train takes about 3.5 hours to Tbilisi, although the timetable is not coordinated with flights.
- Marshrutka: a minibus from Kutaisi bus station to Didube in Tbilisi takes roughly 3.5 hours and costs about 20 GEL.
- Taxi or private transfer: the quickest but most expensive option, starting from around 200 GEL per car. Since the new Rikoti highway opened fully in December 2025, driving times on this road have dropped noticeably.
One-stop options to Tbilisi
- Via Munich. The coach from Memmingen to Munich takes about 1.5 hours, and Lufthansa flies non-stop from Munich to Tbilisi daily, with a flight time of roughly 4 hours. If you treat Memmingen and Munich as one region, this is often the most convenient routing.
- Via another European hub. Take a low-cost flight from Memmingen to a European city that has a non-stop service to Tbilisi and continue from there. In that case the tickets are usually bought separately — see the next section for what that means in practice.
Baggage and self-transfers: what to watch out for
- The cheapest fares on low-cost airlines such as Wizz Air and Ryanair normally include only one small cabin bag. A larger carry-on and checked baggage cost extra, and adding them when you book is almost always cheaper than doing it later or at the airport.
- If you put the journey together from separate tickets (for example two flights with different airlines), that is a self-transfer: you collect your bags and check them in again yourself, and if a delay on the first flight makes you miss the second, no airline will compensate you.
- For that reason, leave at least 3–4 hours between flights, and more in winter. If the gap is tight, it is worth spending a night in the connecting city.
Documents and border rules
Georgian citizens with a biometric passport can travel to the Schengen area, Germany included, without a visa — up to 90 days in any 180-day period. The EU is gradually rolling out its new Entry/Exit System (EES), and a pre-travel electronic authorisation, ETIAS, is planned for visa-exempt travellers. The start dates for these rules keep shifting, so always check the current requirements on the EU’s official page (travel-europe.europa.eu) and on your airline’s website before you leave.
