Which airlines fly from Tallinn to Kutaisi?
Both direct and connecting flights link Tallinn with Kutaisi International Airport.

Connecting routes with a single stop can also be put together using two different airlines. One option looks like this: you fly from Tallinn Airport to Warsaw Chopin Airport with LOT Polish Airlines, and from there a Wizz Air Georgia flight takes you straight to Kutaisi Airport.
Alternatively, you can fly from Tallinn to Riga International Airport with AirBaltic and continue to Kutaisi Airport with Wizz Air.
How long is the flight from Tallinn to Kutaisi?
A direct Tallinn to Kutaisi flight takes 4 hours and 25 minutes. The total time of a connecting flight depends on the airline you choose and on how long you wait at the transfer airport.
How to find cheap flight tickets from Tallinn to Kutaisi
- Book your tickets 1.5–2 months in advance.
- Fly midweek rather than at the weekend. Demand is lower on working days, so fares are usually cheaper.
- Buy both legs of the journey at the same time. Airlines and agencies normally 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 flight, so that you can compare and book the ticket that suits you in one place.
Routes and connection options from Tallinn to Kutaisi
On the Tallinn–Kutaisi route the availability of a non-stop flight depends on the season, and airline schedules change during the year. For most of the year the journey is therefore planned with one stop. These are the most convenient transfer cities, with the pure flying time involved:
- Vilnius — one of the shortest options, around 5 hours and 20 minutes in the air.
- Warsaw — also around 5 hours and 20 minutes.
- Budapest — around 5 hours and 45 minutes.
- Berlin — around 5 hours and 55 minutes.
- Prague — around 6 hours.
- Milan (Malpensa) — around 7 hours and 25 minutes.
These figures cover time in the air only and do not include waiting at the transfer airport. When you plan a connection, leave at least 2–3 hours between the two flights, especially if you have bought them separately: in that case the airline takes no responsibility for a delay on the first leg, and you have to collect and check in your luggage again.
Kutaisi and Tallinn airports — what you should know
David the Builder Kutaisi International Airport is located in Kopitnari, a short drive from Kutaisi. Shuttle buses timed to the flight schedule run from the airport to Kutaisi, Tbilisi and Batumi, and taxis are available as well. It is worth buying the bus ticket online in advance, especially for night-time and early-morning flights.
Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport sits remarkably close to the city centre and is easy to reach by tram or bus. The terminal is compact, so check-in and security rarely take long.
Practical information for the trip
- Time difference: Georgia is 1–2 hours ahead of Estonia, depending on whether summer time is in force in Estonia.
- Visas: Estonia is part of the Schengen area. Georgian citizens with a biometric passport do not need a visa and may stay for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. EU citizens, in turn, do not need a visa to enter Georgia.
- Currency: the Georgian lari (GEL) in Georgia and the euro (EUR) in Estonia.
- Baggage: the cheapest low-cost fares normally include only one small cabin bag. A larger cabin bag and checked luggage are paid extras, and they cost considerably less when you add them online in advance than at the airport.
- Check-in: check in online before you travel — many airlines charge a high fee for checking in at the airport counter.
When are tickets cheapest?
Tourist demand in Georgia peaks in summer, from June through September, and prices also rise around New Year and Easter. The best fares are usually found in late autumn and winter, apart from the New Year weeks, while April, May and October offer the best balance between price and weather.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the journey from Tallinn to Kutaisi take?
With one stop, the trip involves roughly 5 to 9 hours in the air depending on the transfer city, plus the waiting time at the connecting airport.
Do Georgian citizens need a transit visa?
No visa is required to transfer through Schengen countries (Vilnius, Warsaw, Budapest, Berlin, Prague, Milan) with a biometric passport. If your connection is at an airport outside the Schengen area, check that country’s transit rules in advance.
Which transfer city is the most convenient?
Vilnius and Warsaw give the shortest total flying time. If your layover lasts several hours, Warsaw is the more comfortable choice, because the airport is close to the city.
Can I fly to Tbilisi or Batumi instead of Kutaisi?
Yes. The total cost is often lower if you compare all three airports — Kutaisi, Tbilisi and Batumi — at the same time. Regular shuttle buses connect Kutaisi with both Tbilisi and Batumi.
