Airports: where you depart from and where you land
Stockholm. The city is served by several airports. Most international flights use Arlanda (ARN), about 40 km north of the centre and linked to the city by express train and coaches. Some low-cost airlines use Skavsta (NYO), near Nyköping, roughly 100 km south of Stockholm. Always check which airport your ticket shows – ARN or NYO – because the travel time and cost to the city differ considerably.
Tbilisi. All international flights arrive at Shota Rustaveli Tbilisi International Airport (TBS), about 17 km from the city centre. You can reach the city by public bus, taxi or a pre-booked transfer; the drive takes around 20-30 minutes.
When to book and when to fly
- High season. June to September and the New Year period, when demand and fares are at their highest.
- Low season. Late autumn and the winter months outside the holidays – this is when the cheapest tickets appear.
- Booking window. On connecting European routes the best fares are usually available 1.5 to 3 months before departure.
- Flexible dates. Flying a day or two earlier or later can noticeably lower the price, so always compare several dates.
Baggage: what to watch out for
When you compare prices, do not look at the fare alone – what the ticket includes matters just as much.
- The cheapest low-cost fares often include only a small cabin bag; anything larger costs extra.
- Standard fares on full-service airlines normally include both cabin and checked baggage.
- If you buy the two legs separately with different airlines, you may have to collect and re-check your luggage at the transfer airport – allow more time for the connection in that case.
Useful information for travellers
- Time difference. Georgia is 3 hours ahead of Sweden in winter and 2 hours ahead while Swedish summer time is in force.
- Currency. Sweden uses the Swedish krona (SEK), not the euro, and card payments are accepted almost everywhere.
- Visa. Georgian citizens with a biometric passport can travel to the Schengen area without a visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Check the current rules and your passport validity before you fly.
- Connection time. Allow at least 1.5-2 hours for a transfer on a single through ticket, and preferably 3 hours or more if the flights are booked separately.
How to buy cheap Stockholm to Tbilisi tickets
- Book your ticket 1.5-2 months in advance.
- Choose a midweek departure rather than a weekend: demand is lower on working days, so fares are usually cheaper.
- Buy both directions at once. Airlines and agencies tend to offer better prices for a return ticket than for two separate one-way tickets.
- Use a search engine that brings together almost every airline and route, so you can find and book the right ticket more easily.
