Which airports does the flight use?

Wizz Air departs from Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) and lands at David the Builder Kutaisi International Airport (KUT). Malpensa is Milan’s largest airport and lies northwest of the city centre. Kutaisi Airport is in Kopitnari, about 14 kilometres west of Kutaisi.

On the day of departure, always double-check which terminal your flight leaves from. The information is shown on your boarding pass and on the airport website.

Getting to and from the airport

• In Milan: the Malpensa Express train runs between the airport and the city centre. The journey takes roughly 43 minutes to Milano Cadorna and about 57 minutes to Milano Centrale. Trains run once or twice an hour.
• In Kutaisi: buses to Kutaisi, Tbilisi and Batumi (including Georgian Bus and Omnibus Express) depart after every arrival. Taxis and minibuses (marshrutkas) are also available.

So if your final destination is Tbilisi or Batumi, flying into Kutaisi is often the cheaper option, because what you save on the airfare far outweighs the cost of ground transport.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a direct flight from Milan to Kutaisi?

Yes. Wizz Air operates the direct service from Malpensa Airport (MXP) to Kutaisi Airport (KUT). You can also travel with a connection, although the journey takes considerably longer.

When are tickets cheapest?

As a rule, the best fares appear 1.5-2 months before departure and in the off-season, in late autumn and winter (apart from the New Year period). Demand rises in summer and around public holidays, and prices go up with it.

What documents do I need for the flight?

You need a valid passport to enter Georgia. Citizens of the EU and many other countries can stay in Georgia without a visa, while Georgian citizens with a biometric passport do not need a visa for short stays in the Schengen area. These rules change over time, so check official sources before you travel.

Can I fly without checked baggage?

Yes. If you only take the free cabin bag (40x30x20 cm, up to 10 kg), you pay nothing extra. This is the cheapest way to fly with Wizz Air.

How do I get from Kutaisi Airport to Tbilisi or Batumi?

Buses to Tbilisi, Batumi and Kutaisi leave the airport after each arrival. In high season it is more convenient to buy your ticket online in advance.

What happens if my flight is cancelled or delayed?

For departures from EU territory, passenger rights regulation EC 261/2004 applies. In the event of a long delay or a cancellation you may be entitled to assistance, re-routing or financial compensation, so keep your boarding pass and every message from the airline.

Practical tips before departure

• Arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before an international flight.
• Check in online as soon as it opens and keep the boarding pass on your phone or print it out.
• With low-cost airlines the fare rises as the departure date gets closer, so buying at the last minute is expensive.
• Compare prices for the days just before and after your preferred date, as a shift of one or two days often makes the ticket noticeably cheaper.
• Weigh and measure your cabin bag in advance, because exceeding the size limit at the airport costs you a fee.

What to see in and around Kutaisi

Kutaisi is one of Georgia’s oldest cities and an excellent base for exploring western Georgia:

• Bagrati Cathedral and Gelati Monastery – Gelati is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and sits about a 20-minute drive from the city centre.
• Prometheus Cave and Tskaltubo – karst caves and a well-known spa resort, half an hour from Kutaisi.
• Martvili and Okatse canyons – the most popular day trips from Kutaisi.
• Batumi and the Black Sea – roughly a 2.5-3 hour drive or bus ride away.

Seasons: when is the best time to fly?

• Spring (April-June) – pleasant weather, fewer tourists and relatively good fares.
• Summer (July-August) – peak season, with the highest prices and the most flights. Kutaisi is hot and humid at this time of year.
• Autumn (September-October) – many travellers’ favourite: mild weather, the grape harvest season and lower prices than in summer.
• Winter – the cheapest period apart from the New Year holidays. Bear in mind that flight frequency drops on some routes in winter.

Always check the current schedule on the airline’s website or through our search engine before you travel, as flight days and times change from season to season.
