Planning to buy Kutaisi to Warsaw flight tickets? Then make sure to read this article and find out what you should know before booking your flight to Warsaw.

Poland’s capital, Warsaw, stands out for its fascinating history and culture. The city has been through some of the hardest times imaginable: it was almost completely destroyed during the Second World War, yet it was soon rebuilt, and today its historic Old Town is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

If you are planning a trip to this vibrant and diverse city, the tips below are for you.

Which airlines fly from Kutaisi to Warsaw

When buying a Wizz Air ticket, keep in mind:

The ticket price includes 10 kg of hand luggage measuring 40x30x20 cm. You can also purchase 10 kg, 20 kg or 32 kg of checked baggage.

Be sure to check in online and get your boarding pass up to 48 hours before departure, so you don’t have to pay extra at the airport.

If you cancel or change your ticket, a fee applies; the amount depends on how many days are left before departure.

How long is the flight from Kutaisi to Warsaw

A direct Wizz Air flight from Kutaisi Airport to Warsaw Chopin Airport takes 3 hours and 25 minutes.

When is the best time to visit Warsaw

The best time to visit Warsaw is from June to August. This is when the city welcomes the most tourists, the weather is pleasant and there is a much wider range of things to do.

However, if travelling on a budget is your priority, choose the period from December to February. It is quite cold in Warsaw at that time, but flights and hotels are noticeably cheaper.

How to find cheap flights from Kutaisi to Warsaw

1. Book your tickets 1.5–2 months in advance.
2. Fly midweek rather than at the weekend: demand is lower on weekdays, so fares tend to be cheaper.
3. Buy your outbound and return tickets together. Airlines and agencies usually offer better prices for a round trip than for two separate one-way tickets.
4. Use a flight search engine that brings together almost all airlines and routes, so you can book the ticket that suits you more easily.

You can buy Kutaisi–Warsaw tickets online quickly and conveniently with our flight search. Simply choose your departure and destination cities and your preferred date, and our system will show you all available flights, so you can pick the one that fits your budget.

What to know before travelling to Warsaw

• Entry rules: Georgian citizens holding a regular biometric passport can travel to Poland and the rest of the Schengen Area visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Border officers may ask for a hotel booking, a return ticket, travel insurance and proof of sufficient funds, so keep these documents with you.
• New border system (EES): when you enter the Schengen Area, your details — a facial photo and fingerprints — are registered electronically, so passport control may take a little longer. The ETIAS electronic travel authorisation is also due to be introduced — check before your trip whether it is already required.
• Currency: Poland’s official currency is the złoty (PLN), not the euro. Cards are accepted almost everywhere, but a small amount of cash still comes in handy.
• Time difference: Warsaw is 2 hours behind Georgia in summer and 3 hours behind in winter.

How to get from Chopin Airport to central Warsaw

• Train: SKM city trains (S2 and S3) run from the airport station to the city centre in about 20–25 minutes.
• Bus: city bus no. 175 connects the airport with central Warsaw, and night buses run after dark.
• Taxi: use the official airport taxi rank or a ride-hailing app (such as Uber or Bolt) so you know the fare in advance.

Tips for flying from Kutaisi Airport

Kutaisi International Airport is about 230 km from Tbilisi. If you are travelling from Tbilisi or Batumi, you can reach the airport by the Georgian Bus shuttle, whose timetable is matched to flight times, or by taxi. Arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before departure — low-cost airlines close boarding strictly on time and will not let late passengers board.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a direct flight from Kutaisi to Warsaw?

Yes. Wizz Air operates direct flights on this route several times a week. With other airlines, you can only reach Warsaw with a connection.

How long is the flight?

The direct flight takes about 3.5 hours. Keep in mind that local time in Warsaw is 2–3 hours behind Georgia.

Which airport does the flight arrive at?

Flights from Kutaisi arrive at Warsaw Frédéric Chopin Airport (WAW), which is close to the city centre. Warsaw also has a second airport, Modlin (WMI), so check the airport code when booking.

Do Georgian citizens need a visa for Poland?

Georgian citizens with a regular biometric passport do not need a visa for tourist trips of up to 90 days within 180 days. To work or study in Poland, however, you will need the appropriate visa or permit.

When is the best time to buy tickets?

For the best fares, book 1.5–2 months ahead, especially for summer and the New Year holidays, when demand is at its highest.

Updated: 5 October 2026

Tbilisi – Tel Aviv is one of the busiest routes out of Georgia: the direct flight from Tbilisi airport to Ben Gurion takes only 2 hours 35–50 minutes, and several airlines operate it every day. This guide brings together everything worth knowing before you book — flight time, airlines and schedules by day of the week, seasonal price ranges, the ETA-IL authorisation and the particulars of Ben Gurion airport.

How long is the Tbilisi – Tel Aviv flight?

A non-stop flight between Tbilisi and Tel Aviv averages 2 hours 40 minutes. The actual time depends on the winds, the air corridor and how busy Ben Gurion is: El Al and Arkia services run between 2 h 30 min and 2 h 50 min, while Israir’s night flight often covers the distance in 2 h 25–40 min. Bear in mind that Tel Aviv is one hour behind Tbilisi in summer and two hours behind in winter — which is why the arrival time printed on your ticket makes the flight look shorter than it really is.

Connecting itineraries make little sense on this route while a direct seat is available: going via Larnaca or Athens stretches the journey to 5–9 hours and often costs more, and Istanbul is not an option at present — Turkish Airlines and Pegasus have suspended their Ben Gurion services. The one exception is travelling from Kutaisi — there is no non-stop Kutaisi – Tel Aviv flight, so a connection is unavoidable.

Which airlines fly non-stop

On the autumn 2026 timetable, three Israeli carriers operate non-stop between Tbilisi and Tel Aviv. The days and times below are indicative — always confirm the exact schedule on the airline’s website or when you search for tickets.

Tbilisi – Tel Aviv flights: current prices

გამგზავრება	დაბრუნება	ავიაკომპანია	ბილეთების პოვნა
20 ოქტომბერი 2026	21 ოქტომბერი 2026		ავიაბილეთები 549 -დან

3 დეკემბერი 2026	11 დეკემბერი 2026		ავიაბილეთები 471 -დან

In the opposite direction — Tel Aviv – Tbilisi — El Al operates 2–3 flights a day (between 05:30 and 20:50) and Arkia one, in the morning or early afternoon. Travellers starting from Batumi have separate summer-season services: see Batumi – Tel Aviv.

Shabbat and Jewish holidays

El Al does not fly on Shabbat (from Friday evening to Saturday evening) or on Yom Kippur — on those days only Arkia and Israir offer non-stop flights, and fares are higher as a result. If you are planning a weekend trip, book well ahead or choose a Friday morning or Sunday evening departure.

The airports: Tbilisi and Ben Gurion

Flights from Georgia depart from Tbilisi International Airport (TBS), 17 km from the city centre — 25–40 minutes by taxi, about an hour on bus No. 37.

In Israel you land at Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV), 20 km from Tel Aviv, near Lod. All international flights are handled by Terminal 3 (Israir and Arkia occasionally use Terminal 1 — check the terminal shown on your ticket).

Security and check-in at Ben Gurion — what to expect

Ben Gurion has one of the strictest security systems in the world. Flying back to Tbilisi, you go through a security interview before check-in: you will be asked the purpose of your visit, where you stayed and who packed your luggage. This is standard procedure — answer briefly and calmly. A few practical tips:

• Arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure — at peak times security alone takes 1–1.5 hours.
• El Al runs the same security interview at Tbilisi airport, so allow 3 hours at TBS as well, not 2.
• Passports are no longer stamped on arrival — you are issued a small blue entry card (B2) printed automatically; keep it until you leave.
• Online check-in opens 24 hours before departure with El Al and 24–48 hours with Arkia and Israir, but checked bags still have to be dropped off at the airport.

How much does a Tbilisi – Tel Aviv ticket cost? Prices by season

Three carriers compete on the route, so fares are relatively stable. The table below gives the approximate range for a return economy ticket per passenger in Georgian lari; it is based on our own tracking and on aggregator statistics, so treat it as a guide only.

One-way basic fares on Arkia and Israir often start at 150–250 GEL, but such a fare covers hand baggage only. El Al’s Lite fare also excludes checked luggage — a 23 kg bag is included in the Classic fare or bought separately (cheaper in advance than at the airport). Whenever you compare tickets, work out the final price with baggage included.

How to find a cheap fare

• Book 4–8 weeks ahead — in the final week prices rise on every airline.
• Choose a Tuesday or Wednesday, or the late-night services (Israir and Arkia around 23:00) — they are cheaper than El Al’s morning flights.
• Avoid the weeks around Jewish holidays — Pesach, Shavuot, Rosh Hashanah and Sukkot — when fares roughly double.
• Compare every airline in one window — on flights.avia.ge prices are shown with baggage included.

Visas and documents: the ETA-IL authorisation

Georgian citizens do not need a visa for a tourist visit to Israel — you may stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Since 2025, however, travellers from visa-free countries must hold an ETA-IL, an electronic travel authorisation obtained online before departure:

• Apply on the official portal of the Population and Immigration Authority (PIBA), israel-entry.piba.gov.il; do not trust intermediary websites.
• The fee is 25 shekels (about 20 GEL); a decision usually arrives within a few hours and up to 72 hours, so apply at least three days in advance.
• The authorisation is valid for two years, or until your passport expires, and allows multiple entries.
• Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months (6 to be safe) from the date of arrival; without an ETA-IL the airline will not let you board.

At the border you may be asked for a return ticket, a hotel booking and proof of funds. Travel insurance is also recommended — medical care in Israel is expensive.

Getting from Ben Gurion into Tel Aviv

• Train — the fastest and cheapest option. The station is on the lower level of Terminal 3; a ticket costs about 13.5 shekels and the ride to Tel Aviv’s central station (Savidor Center) takes 15–20 minutes. Trains run round the clock from Sunday to Thursday, but not from Friday midday until Saturday evening (Shabbat). You will need a Rav-Kav card or the app to buy a ticket.
• Taxi — the official rank is on level 2 of Terminal 3; the fixed fare into Tel Aviv is about 150 shekels (with a surcharge at night and on Shabbat). The Gett app works in Israel too.
• Bus No. 445 — hourly, running through central Tel Aviv; it does not operate on Shabbat.
• If you land on Shabbat (Israir’s Friday night flight), a taxi or a pre-booked transfer will be your only option — allow for it in your budget.

When to go: Tel Aviv weather by season

Tel Aviv has a Mediterranean climate — long, hot and almost rain-free summers and mild, wet winters. The season you choose affects both the fare and how comfortable the trip will be.

For travellers from Georgia the sweet spot runs from the second half of October to the end of November: the Jewish holidays are over, the weather still feels like summer, and flights and hotels are close to their yearly low.

Practical tips for when you land

• Currency. Israel’s currency is the new shekel (₪, ILS). Changing lari locally is difficult — bring euros or dollars, or withdraw shekels from an ATM; cards are accepted almost everywhere.
• Connectivity. There are several operator desks in the Ben Gurion arrivals hall, but a pre-purchased eSIM is cheapest — it activates the moment you land and is more than enough for navigation.
• Power sockets. The grid is 230 V / 50 Hz and sockets are type H. An ordinary two-pin European plug (type C) fits; a thick three-pin Schuko does not, so bring an adapter for your laptop.
• Shabbat. From Friday midday until Saturday evening most shops, museums and public transport shut down. In Tel Aviv the cafés and the seafront stay open, but you will only be able to get around by taxi — plan day trips for another day.
• Language. Besides Hebrew and Arabic, English is understood almost everywhere and signs are trilingual; Russian speakers are easy to find as well.
• Tipping. Service is usually not included in restaurant bills — 10–12% is customary.
• Water and sun. Tap water is safe to drink; in summer the humidity makes 30 °C feel far heavier — a hat, sunscreen and a water bottle are essential.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the flight from Tbilisi to Tel Aviv?

Two hours and 35–50 minutes on a non-stop flight. Because of the time difference (Tel Aviv is 1 hour behind in summer and 2 hours in winter), the arrival time on your ticket appears only 40 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes after departure.

Are there direct flights from Tbilisi to Tel Aviv?

Yes, every day. El Al flies non-stop 2–3 times a day, Arkia 1–2 times, and Israir operates 2–4 night flights a week. Georgian Airways joins the route seasonally.

Do Georgian citizens need a visa for Israel?

No. Georgian passport holders may stay up to 90 days within a 180-day period without a visa, but an ETA-IL electronic authorisation (25 shekels, valid for two years) must be obtained at israel-entry.piba.gov.il before departure.

How much does a Tbilisi – Tel Aviv ticket cost?

A return economy ticket costs roughly 300–500 GEL in low season (October–March) and 700–1,200 GEL in summer and around the Jewish holidays. One-way basic fares without baggage start at 150–250 GEL.

How early should I get to the airport?

Three hours at Ben Gurion, because a security interview takes place before check-in. Three hours is also recommended in Tbilisi for El Al flights, and at least 2.5 hours for Arkia and Israir.

If you are planning to buy air tickets from Yerevan to Tbilisi, the advice in this article will definitely come in handy. The information you will find here will help you book your flight cheaply and without any hassle.

Which airlines fly from Yerevan to Tbilisi?

On the Yerevan–Tbilisi route you will find a fairly wide choice of both direct and connecting flights.

Direct flights between Yerevan and Tbilisi have been operated by three carriers, two of them Georgian: Georgian Airways and Myway Airlines. These airlines connect Tbilisi International Airport with Zvartnots International Airport in Yerevan. The Armenian carrier Armenia Aircompany has also flown the route non-stop.

Connecting flights have been offered by the Ukrainian airlines SkyUp Airlines and FlyUIA, which take you from Yerevan to Tbilisi with a change in Kyiv.

Besides these carriers, the Belarusian airline Belavia has also offered connecting flights from Yerevan to Tbilisi via Minsk.

Which airline has the cheapest tickets from Yerevan to Tbilisi?

Among the carriers that have served the route to Tbilisi International Airport, the lowest fares were traditionally offered by Myway Airlines.

How long is the flight from Yerevan to Tbilisi?

A non-stop flight from Yerevan to Tbilisi takes about 30–40 minutes. The total duration of a connecting flight depends on how long the layover at the transfer airport lasts.

How to find cheap tickets from Yerevan to Tbilisi

1. Book your ticket 1.5–2 months before departure.
2. Travel midweek rather than at the weekend: demand on working days is lower, so fares are usually cheaper.
3. Buy both legs of the trip at once. A return ticket is normally cheaper than two separate one-way tickets.
4. Use a search engine that brings together nearly all airlines and flights, so you can find and book the right ticket faster.

You can book Yerevan–Tbilisi tickets online quickly and comfortably through our search engine. Simply choose your departure and destination cities, enter the date you want, and the system will show you every available flight, so you can pick the one that fits your budget.

Zvartnots and Tbilisi airports – what you should know

Zvartnots International Airport (EVN) lies about 12 kilometres from the centre of Yerevan, roughly a 20–25 minute drive. The airport is linked to the city by express bus No. 201, which runs to Yeritasardakan metro station near Republic and Freedom Square; the ride takes around 30–40 minutes.

Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) is about 17 kilometres from the city centre. Bus No. 337 runs from the airport into town, passing Freedom Square and ending at Station Square; depending on traffic the trip takes 45–60 minutes and the fare is minimal. Bus timetables change from time to time, so if you are landing late at night it is worth arranging a transfer or a taxi in advance.

Flying or travelling overland – which is better?

Yerevan and Tbilisi are only about 280 kilometres apart, so a plane ticket on this route always competes with other options:

• Plane – around 30–40 minutes in the air, although once you add early airport check-in and transfers at both ends, the door-to-door journey averages 3–4 hours.
• Minibus or coach – the road crosses the border at Sadakhlo–Bagratashen and, including passport control, takes roughly 6 hours.
• Train – the overnight Tbilisi–Yerevan service runs seasonally: more frequently in summer and every other day for the rest of the year.

If you are travelling for a single day or with light luggage, flying clearly saves the most time; if price is your main concern, it is worth comparing both options.

What to keep in mind before your flight

1. Arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before an international departure.
2. Check the validity of your passport in advance.
3. Read the fare conditions carefully: the cheapest tickets often include cabin baggage only, and checked luggage is charged separately.
4. Use online check-in – it usually opens 24–48 hours before departure and saves you time at the airport.
5. Keep in mind that the list of airlines and the flight schedule change with the season, so always check the current flights before you travel.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the flight from Yerevan to Tbilisi take?

A direct flight takes about 30–40 minutes. A connecting flight can last anywhere from a few hours to a full day, depending on the layover.

At present, direct flights between Yerevan and Tbilisi are operated mainly by Georgian Airways, while the remaining options involve a connection. For an accurate, up-to-date list, check our search engine for your chosen date.

How far in advance should I buy my ticket?

On this short route fares are usually at their best 1.5–2 months before departure. A ticket bought in the final week – especially in summer or around public holidays – costs considerably more.

Do I need a visa?

Citizens of Georgia and Armenia do not need a visa for short visits to each other’s country. Rules differ for other passports, so check the current requirements before you travel.

Which airports does the flight use?

Departure is from Zvartnots International Airport (EVN) in Yerevan, and arrival is at Tbilisi International Airport (TBS).

Which airlines offer the cheapest tickets from Riga to Tbilisi?

Historically the lowest fares on the Riga–Tbilisi route have been offered by connecting itineraries rather than the non-stop flight, so it is always worth comparing both options.

How long is the flight from Riga to Tbilisi?

The non-stop flight from Riga to Tbilisi is scheduled at roughly 4 hours and 15–25 minutes. The total duration of a connecting flight depends on how long your layover at the transfer airport lasts.

4. Use a search engine that brings together almost every airline and route, so that finding the ticket you want takes just a few clicks.

Tickets to and from Riga can be booked online quickly and conveniently through our search engine. Simply select your departure and destination cities, enter the dates you want, and the system will show you every available flight — making it easy to pick the fare that fits your budget.

Riga to Tbilisi flights: what has changed recently

Because of the changes in European airspace over recent years, the Riga–Tbilisi route now bypasses Russian and Belarusian airspace and runs further south, via Central Europe, the Black Sea and Türkiye. That is why the actual flight time today is around 4 hours and 15–25 minutes, even though the distance between Riga and Tbilisi is only about 2,270 kilometres.

For the same reason, transit flights via Kyiv are not operating at the moment — Ukrainian airspace remains closed to civil aviation. If the non-stop flight does not suit your dates, the most reliable alternatives today are connections through Istanbul (Turkish Airlines), Warsaw (LOT Polish Airlines) and other Central European hubs. Always check the current timetable before you travel, as airlines adjust frequencies from season to season.

Practical details for your flight

• Departure airport: Riga International Airport (code RIX), around 10 kilometres from the Latvian capital’s city centre.
• Arrival airport: Tbilisi International Airport (code TBS).
• Non-stop operator: airBaltic, flying the Airbus A220-300.
• Time difference: Tbilisi is one hour ahead of Riga in summer and two hours ahead in winter (Georgia does not observe daylight saving time).
• Baggage: the cheapest fares usually include only a small cabin bag, while checked baggage is priced separately. Always check the conditions of the fare you choose before buying — this often changes the total cost.

When is the best time to fly from Riga to Tbilisi?

The most comfortable weather in Georgia is in spring (May–June) and autumn (September–October): Tbilisi is pleasantly warm, and conditions in western Georgia and the mountains are excellent. July and August are quite hot in Tbilisi and coincide with the peak tourist season, which is also when air tickets are at their most expensive.

The cheapest period is usually winter (January–March), excluding the New Year and Christmas holidays. If your budget is the deciding factor, look for tickets in those months.

Getting from Tbilisi Airport into the city

Tbilisi International Airport is about 17 kilometres from the city centre. There are several ways to get downtown:

• Bus No. 337 — the cheapest option, running day and night towards the city centre. You can pay with a travel card or a contactless bank card.
• Taxi or a ride-hailing app — the trip to the centre usually takes 25–40 minutes depending on traffic. Ordering through an app is generally cheaper and more predictable than taking a taxi offered at the arrivals hall.
• A pre-booked transfer — handy if you arrive on a night flight or are visiting the country for the first time.

There are currency exchange desks and ATMs at the airport. Georgia’s currency is the lari, while Latvia uses the euro.

Frequently asked questions

Do Georgian citizens need a visa for Latvia?

Georgian citizens holding a biometric passport can travel visa-free to the Schengen area, including Latvia, for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. The European Union is gradually rolling out its electronic travel authorisation (ETIAS), so check the current rules on an official source before you travel.

Do Latvian citizens need a visa for Georgia?

No. Citizens of the European Union, including Latvia, can enter Georgia without a visa and stay for up to one year. A valid passport or electronic ID card is enough to enter.

How early should you get to the airport?

For an international flight it is recommended to arrive at the airport two hours before departure. If you need to check in baggage or are travelling at peak times, allow an extra half hour.

Which airline operates the only non-stop Riga–Tbilisi flight?

The only direct service on this route is operated by the Latvian airline airBaltic. Frequencies change with the season, so compare several dates when planning your trip.

Is a connecting flight worth it?

Often, yes. A connecting ticket can be cheaper than the non-stop flight, especially in high season. Just keep two things in mind: leave enough time for the transfer (at least 1.5–2 hours) and make sure your baggage is checked through to your final destination.

Planning to book flights from Tbilisi to Riga but not sure where to start? This guide walks you through everything you need: who flies the route, how long it takes, what you pay for baggage, and how to get the cheapest possible fare.

Riga is the largest city in the Baltics and one of its most distinctive. Its architecture, culture and easy-going way of life draw travellers from all over Europe, and it has quietly become one of the most rewarding short-haul destinations you can reach from Georgia.

Which airlines fly to Riga?

The nonstop flight from Tbilisi International Airport is operated by the Latvian carrier airBaltic. It is the only airline flying the Tbilisi to Riga route without a stop.

Riga is also easy to reach with a connection. For years Ukraine International Airlines (FlyUIA) offered a comfortable and affordable transit option, taking passengers from Tbilisi to Kyiv Boryspil and onward to Riga.

Connecting flights are also available with Turkish Airlines, which takes you from Tbilisi to Riga with a change of aircraft in Istanbul.

How long is the Tbilisi to Riga flight?

The nonstop flight from Tbilisi to Riga takes about 3 hours and 25 minutes. On a connecting itinerary the total journey depends mainly on how long your layover is.

When is the best time to visit Riga?

In terms of temperature, summer is the most pleasant time to travel to Riga. It is also the busiest, which pushes both airfares and hotel rates up. Late autumn is far kinder to your budget, although you should be ready for cold, damp weather.

How to find cheap flights from Tbilisi to Riga

1. Book roughly 1.5 to 2 months in advance.
2. Fly midweek rather than at the weekend. Demand is lower on working days, and fares usually follow.
3. Buy both directions in one booking. Airlines and agencies almost always price a return lower than two separate one-way tickets.
4. Use a search engine that gathers all airlines and flights in one place, so you can compare every option before you book.

Getting from Riga Airport to the city centre

Riga International Airport (airport code RIX) sits around 10 kilometres from the city centre, and the trip into town rarely takes more than half an hour.

• Bus No. 22 is the cheapest way in. The stop is in car park P1, between arrivals exits E and C. Overnight, route No. N22 covers the same corridor.
• Tickets can be bought from the driver, but by bank card only, as cash is not accepted on board. Buying in advance or using a digital ticket works out cheaper.
• Taxis and Bolt are faster and more comfortable but noticeably more expensive. Bolt is widely used in Latvia and is the easiest option, since the app shows you the fare before you ride.

Who operates the direct flight today

airBaltic remains the only carrier flying Tbilisi to Riga nonstop, usually with an Airbus A220-300. Frequency changes with the season, with more departures in summer and fewer in winter, so it is worth comparing a few dates in the calendar before you commit.

The transit picture has changed in recent years. Ukrainian airspace is closed to civil aviation, so connections through Kyiv are no longer operated, and Wizz Air ended its Kutaisi to Riga route in 2025. Today the most practical transfer points are:

• Istanbul — Turkish Airlines serves both Tbilisi and Riga daily, which makes this the most flexible connection.
• Munich or Frankfurt — Lufthansa flies to both cities, and the transfer is issued on a single booking.
• Vienna — Austrian Airlines serves Tbilisi, while the Vienna to Riga leg is flown by airBaltic.

A connection bought on one ticket is the safer choice: your baggage is checked through to the final destination, and if the first flight is delayed the airline is responsible for rebooking you.

Baggage rules on airBaltic

The cheapest economy fare, Economy MINI, includes one small personal item only. The other economy fares include one cabin bag plus a personal item, while business class allows two cabin bags and a personal item. Checked baggage depends on your fare and your airBaltic Club status, so check exactly what your ticket covers before you confirm the booking. Adding baggage at the airport is almost always more expensive than adding it online at the time of purchase.

Visa, passport and border formalities

Latvia is a member of both the European Union and the Schengen Area. Georgian citizens holding a biometric passport may stay in the Schengen countries visa free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. The suspension announced by the European Commission in March 2026 applies only to holders of diplomatic, service and official passports; travel on an ordinary biometric passport continues as before.

• Your passport must have been issued within the past 10 years and remain valid for at least 3 months after you leave the Schengen Area.
• Since April 2026 the electronic Entry/Exit System (EES) has been fully in place at the external Schengen borders. Instead of a passport stamp, your fingerprints and a facial image are recorded on first entry, so allow extra time at the border the first time you cross.
• ETIAS, the electronic travel authorisation for visa-exempt nationals, is not in force yet; it is expected to launch towards the end of 2026. Check whether it already applies to your travel dates before you fly.
• Border officers may ask to see a return ticket, proof of accommodation, travel insurance and sufficient funds, so keep these documents to hand.

What to see in Riga

• The Old Town (Vecriga) — Riga’s historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It holds the House of the Blackheads and the tower of St Peter’s Church, which gives you the whole city at a glance.
• The Art Nouveau quarter — Alberta Street and the streets around it form one of the largest and best preserved Art Nouveau ensembles in Europe.
• The Central Market — a vast market housed in former Zeppelin hangars, also part of the UNESCO site and the best place to get to know Latvian produce and cooking.
• Jurmala — a Baltic seaside resort about 25 kilometres from Riga, half an hour away by suburban train.

Practical information for travellers

• Currency: the euro. Cards are accepted almost everywhere, so there is no need to carry much cash.
• Language: Latvian is the official language; English and Russian are widely understood in tourist areas.
• Time difference: Latvia is 2 hours behind Georgia in winter and 1 hour behind in summer.
• Weather: summers are mild and rarely climb above 25°C, while winters are long, damp and windy, so pack warm and waterproof clothing.

Frequently asked questions

Do Georgian citizens need a visa to travel to Riga?

No. Holders of a biometric passport can stay in Latvia, as a Schengen member state, visa free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.

Which airport will I arrive at?

Riga International Airport, airport code RIX. It is the largest airport in the Baltic states and airBaltic’s home hub, which makes onward travel to dozens of European cities straightforward.

How far in advance should I buy my ticket?

Seats on the nonstop flight are limited, so booking 1.5 to 2 months ahead is usually noticeably cheaper, especially in the summer season and around public holidays.

When is the cheapest time to fly to Riga?

Fares are normally at their lowest in late autumn and winter, holiday weeks aside. The trade-off is cold weather and short days, so the choice comes down to whether you are optimising for budget or for comfort.

Which airlines offer the cheapest tickets from Dubai to Tbilisi?

How long is the flight from Dubai to Tbilisi?

The flight time on the Dubai – Tbilisi route is 3 hours and 25 minutes with Air Arabia, and 3 hours and 30 minutes with Flydubai.

How to find cheap flights from Dubai to Tbilisi

1. Buy your tickets 1.5–2 months in advance.
2. Choose a midweek departure rather than a weekend: demand for travel is lower on working days, so fares tend to be cheaper.
3. Book both directions at once. Airlines and agencies usually offer better prices for a return ticket than for two one-way tickets bought separately.
4. Use a search engine that brings together almost every airline and flight, so that booking the ticket you want becomes much easier.

You can book flights to and from Dubai online quickly and comfortably using our search engine. Simply choose your departure and destination cities, enter the dates you want, and our system will show you every available flight, so you can pick the ticket that fits your budget.

Which airport and terminal do the flights leave from?

Flydubai’s Dubai – Tbilisi flights depart from Terminal 2 of Dubai International Airport (DXB), so head for Terminal 2 rather than the main Terminal 3 when you get to the airport. Air Arabia flights leave from Sharjah International Airport (SHJ), roughly a 30–40 minute drive from central Dubai — allow extra time for the journey.

In both cases you land at Tbilisi International Airport (TBS), about 17 kilometres from the city centre.

How often do the flights operate?

Flydubai serves the Dubai – Tbilisi route almost daily, with more than ten flights a week, while Air Arabia offers up to two flights a day from Sharjah to Tbilisi. Schedules change with the season — there are more flights in summer than in winter — so check the exact days and departure times when you book.

The time difference between Dubai and Tbilisi

Georgia and the United Arab Emirates are in the same time zone (UTC+4), and Georgia does not move its clocks for summer time. That means there is no time difference on the Dubai – Tbilisi route and jet lag is practically a non-issue — you can start exploring on the day you arrive.

Do travellers from the UAE need a visa?

• Citizens of the United Arab Emirates can enter Georgia without a visa and stay for up to one year.
• Nationals of other countries who hold a valid UAE residence permit can enter Georgia visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.

Visa rules change from time to time, so check the current requirements on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia before you travel.

Baggage and fare conditions

Both Flydubai and Air Arabia sell low-cost fares that often include hand baggage only, with checked baggage sold separately. When you compare the cheapest tickets, always look at:

• how many kilograms of hand baggage the fare includes;
• the price of adding checked baggage — adding it online, while booking, is almost always cheaper than at the airport;
• the fees for seat selection, meals and changes to your booking.

Getting from Tbilisi Airport into the city

• Bus — a regular city bus connects the airport with the centre of Tbilisi; this is the cheapest option.
• Taxi — available around the clock; it is best to use a ride-hailing app so that the price is fixed in advance.
• Transfer — if you land at night or travel as a group, a pre-booked transfer is the most comfortable solution.

You can exchange currency or withdraw cash at the airport itself — the national currency of Georgia is the lari (GEL).

When is the best time to visit Georgia?

Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October) have the most comfortable weather, while in winter the ski resorts of Gudauri and Bakuriani become the main draw.
