Which Paris airport should you fly from?

Paris is served by three civil airports, and each one offers different options for travelling to Georgia:

• Charles de Gaulle (CDG) — the largest airport and the main hub. Connecting flights via Istanbul depart from here, as does the direct flight to Tbilisi.
• Orly (ORY) — mostly European and Mediterranean destinations. Useful for building an itinerary via Tel Aviv or another city.
• Beauvais (BVA) — the low-cost carriers’ airport, roughly 85 kilometres from Paris. Wizz Air flies to Kutaisi from here.

Keep in mind that the shuttle bus from central Paris to Beauvais takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes — always build transfer time into your plan.

Connecting routes from Paris to Batumi

Batumi International Airport has no scheduled direct link with Western Europe, so a journey from Paris always involves a connection. The most commonly used options are:

1. Via Istanbul (Turkish Airlines) — from Charles de Gaulle to Istanbul Airport, then on the Istanbul–Batumi flight. The Istanbul–Batumi leg takes about 2 hours.
2. Via Sabiha Gökçen (Pegasus Airlines) — a cheaper, low-cost option. Bear in mind that checked baggage and meals are priced separately.
3. Via Tbilisi — the direct Paris–Tbilisi flight, followed by the domestic Tbilisi–Batumi flight (about 45 minutes), a train or a bus.
4. Via Kutaisi — a Wizz Air flight from Beauvais to David the Builder Kutaisi International Airport, from where the road transfer to Batumi takes roughly 2–2.5 hours.

Schedules and the mix of airlines change from season to season, so always check the current timetable before you book.

Batumi International Airport — practical information

• The airport code is BUS (ICAO — UGSB); it is also known as Chorokh Airport.
• It lies about 2 kilometres south of central Batumi — a taxi ride into the city takes only a few minutes.
• After the 2019–2021 reconstruction the terminal grew to 8,000 square metres, raising capacity to 1.2 million passengers a year.
• The terminal has an automated baggage system, an additional baggage carousel, duty-free shopping and an enlarged car park.

Seasonality — when are tickets cheaper?

Batumi is a seaside resort city, so demand is strongly seasonal:

• June–September — peak season. There are more flights, but prices are at their highest. For this period it is worth booking 2–3 months ahead.
• April–May and October — the shoulder season: the weather is still pleasant and fares are noticeably lower.
• November–March — the cheapest period, although some seasonal flights do not operate and there are fewer connecting options.

What to keep in mind when connecting

1. If you buy the two legs separately, the airline is not responsible for your onward flight in case of a delay — in that case leave at least 4 hours for the connection.
2. On a single through ticket, checked baggage is usually tagged all the way to your final destination.
3. A transit visa is sometimes required in the connecting country — check the rules that apply to your passport in advance.
4. For an overnight connection, check whether the airport stays open all night and whether you will need a hotel.
