How to buy cheap flight tickets from Rome to Tbilisi

- Choose a midweek departure rather than a weekend. Demand is lower on working days, so fares tend to be lower too.
- Buy both legs of the trip at the same time. Airlines and agencies usually price a return ticket better than two separate one-way tickets.
- Use a search engine that gathers almost every airline and flight in one place, so that booking the ticket you want is as simple as possible.

Is there a direct flight from Rome to Tbilisi?
Yes. Georgian Airways operates non-stop flights from Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) to Tbilisi International Airport (TBS). The service runs several times a week and the schedule changes with the season, so check the exact days and times before you book. The non-stop flight takes roughly 3 hours and 50 minutes.
If the direct flight does not fit your dates, there are plenty of connecting options as well, via Istanbul, Riga or other European hubs.
Rome to Kutaisi: the cheaper alternative
If your aim is simply to reach Georgia and not necessarily to land in Tbilisi, it is worth looking at Kutaisi too. The low-cost airline Wizz Air flies non-stop from Rome Fiumicino to Kutaisi David the Builder International Airport (KUT), and this is often the cheapest way into the country. From Kutaisi you can continue to Tbilisi by bus or train; the journey takes about four hours.
Bear in mind that with low-cost carriers the base fare covers only a small cabin bag. Checked luggage, a larger carry-on and seat selection all cost extra, so add those charges to the ticket price when you compare your options.
Rome airports
- Fiumicino (FCO) – Leonardo da Vinci Airport, the city main international gateway. Flights to Georgia depart from here. The Leonardo Express train reaches Roma Termini station in the city centre in about 32 minutes.
- Ciampino (CIA) – a smaller airport, used mainly by low-cost airlines for short European routes.
When you buy your ticket, check carefully which airport you are flying from, especially if you have a connecting flight and need to change airports.
