Tallinn to Tbilisi Flights: Cheap Tickets, Airlines and Schedule

Looking for flights from Tallinn to Tbilisi? This article walks you through everything you need to know in order to book your ticket at the best possible price.

Which airlines fly from Tallinn to Tbilisi

A fair number of airlines offer flights from Tallinn to Tbilisi. One of them is LOT Polish Airlines, which gets you to your destination with a single stop in Warsaw.

The route is also served by the Latvian carrier airBaltic, which connects the two cities via Riga.

You can fly from Tallinn to Tbilisi with Turkish Airlines and SunExpress as well.

How long does the journey from Tallinn to Tbilisi take

On the Tallinn – Tbilisi route the total travel time depends on how long you wait at the transfer airport. As a rule, it ranges from roughly 7 to 11 hours.

 

One practical tip: try to leave at least 2 hours for your layover, especially if the transfer airport is large and busy, or if you are passing through it for the first time. That margin keeps you from missing your connecting flight or running into other delays.

How to find cheap flights from Tallinn to Tbilisi

• Start looking for tickets 1.5–2 months ahead.
• Book both directions at once, as a return ticket.
• Consider low-cost airlines.
• Travel with hand luggage only.

Which cities you connect through

The transfer airports most commonly used between Tallinn and Tbilisi are:

• Riga (RIX) — airBaltic. Often the most convenient option, since the Tallinn–Riga leg takes only about an hour.
• Warsaw (WAW) — LOT Polish Airlines.
• Istanbul (IST or SAW) — Turkish Airlines and Pegasus Airlines.
• Helsinki (HEL) and Budapest (BUD) — depending on the season and on the airline combination.

Keep in mind that flying into Kutaisi International Airport (KUT) and continuing to Tbilisi overland, a journey of roughly 3.5 to 4 hours, sometimes works out cheaper.

Practical advice for your connection

• If both legs are issued on a single ticket, your baggage is normally checked all the way through to Tbilisi, and if the first flight is delayed the airline takes responsibility for rebooking you onto the next one.
• If you bought the tickets separately, you will have to collect your baggage at the transfer airport and check it in again — in that case allow at least 3 hours.
• Connections in Riga, Warsaw and Helsinki pass through Schengen border control, so check your passport’s expiry date in advance.
• Hand luggage size and weight limits differ from airline to airline — if two different carriers are involved, go by the stricter of the two.

When is the best time to book Tallinn–Tbilisi tickets

Demand on this route peaks during the summer months and around the New Year holidays, and fares rise accordingly. Cheaper tickets are usually easiest to find in late autumn and in the non-holiday weeks of winter. If your dates are flexible, compare a few neighbouring days — departing a day or two earlier or later often brings the fare down noticeably.
