Looking for the best-priced flights on the Nice – Kutaisi route? In this article you will find out which airlines serve the route and how to track down the cheapest tickets easily, in just a few minutes.
Which airlines fly from Nice to Kutaisi?
There are currently no non-stop flights from the French city of Nice to Kutaisi International Airport, but that is no real obstacle: the route can be covered with a single connection.
Wizz Air is the carrier that brings you to Kutaisi via one intermediate city. From Nice, for example, you first fly to Warsaw and continue from there straight to Kutaisi airport.
How long does the flight from Nice to Kutaisi take?
On an indirect itinerary the total travel time depends on how long you wait at the transit airport and on the airline you choose.
On the Nice – Kutaisi route the Nice–Warsaw leg takes 2 hours and 20 minutes, and the Warsaw–Kutaisi leg 3 hours and 35 minutes. The layover, however, varies from day to day.
One piece of advice: when you book a connecting itinerary online, always check the layover. It is wiser to leave at least 2–3 hours between the flights, so that a delay or any other disruption does not cost you the onward leg.

Nice – Kutaisi: the current picture
There is still no scheduled non-stop service between Nice and Kutaisi, so the route is always flown with a connection. Wizz Air has by far the widest network at Kutaisi airport, linking the city with Warsaw (Chopin), Budapest, Vilnius, Prague, Bratislava, Katowice, Poznań, Wrocław, Berlin, Hamburg, Dortmund, Memmingen, Lyon, Paris–Beauvais, Milan–Malpensa, Rome–Ciampino, Venice, Barcelona, Madrid, Athens, Thessaloniki, Larnaca and Brussels–Charleroi.
Do bear in mind that Vienna is no longer among Wizz Air’s Kutaisi destinations, as the airline has closed its Vienna base. Vienna can therefore still be used to reach Tbilisi, but not Kutaisi.
The most convenient connections from Nice to Kutaisi
- Warsaw (WAW) — the simplest option by far: Nice–Warsaw is flown by both Wizz Air and LOT, and Warsaw–Kutaisi by Wizz Air. Both flights use Chopin airport, so there is no airport change.
- Budapest (BUD) — Wizz Air operates both legs, which means the whole trip can sit on one ticket.
- Istanbul–Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) — Pegasus flies both from Nice and from Kutaisi.
- Vilnius (VNO) — again two Wizz Air legs.
- Athens (ATH), Barcelona (BCN), Prague (PRG), Berlin (BER), Lyon (LYS) — these work as well, but the legs are operated by different airlines, so you have to buy the tickets separately.
If you cannot find a workable connection into Kutaisi, consider flying into Tbilisi instead — via Istanbul, Munich or Vienna, for instance — and covering the Tbilisi–Kutaisi stretch overland, which takes roughly 3 to 3.5 hours.
What to keep in mind on a connecting itinerary
- When one airline operates both legs on a single ticket, it is the airline’s job to rebook you if a delay makes you miss the onward flight.
- With separate tickets the responsibility is yours, so leave more time for the connection — 3 to 4 hours is sensible.
- Low-cost carriers, Wizz Air included, include only a small cabin bag in the fare; a larger cabin bag and checked baggage cost extra. Baggage fees can easily exceed the price of the ticket itself, so add everything up before you book.
- In winter Georgia is 3 hours ahead of France — worth remembering when you plan your arrival.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a direct flight from Nice to Kutaisi?
No. The route has no non-stop service, so the journey always involves at least one connection.
How long does the whole journey take?
Time in the air adds up to about 6 hours, but with the connection the full journey usually takes 8 to 14 hours, depending on how long you wait at the transit airport.
When are tickets cheapest?
The lowest fares show up in the off-season, from November through March. Prices climb sharply in summer and over the New Year holidays, so for those dates you should book several months ahead.

No. Citizens of France and other EU countries can enter Georgia without a visa and stay for a long period. It is still worth checking the current requirements on an official source before you travel.
