Planning to book your Warsaw – Tbilisi flight online but not sure where to start? This guide walks you through everything worth knowing before you buy, so choosing a ticket and planning the trip becomes much easier.
Below we answer, in detail, the questions that always come up when you start planning a trip from Poland to Georgia.
Which airlines fly from Warsaw to Tbilisi?
The Polish flag carrier LOT Polish Airlines operates the non-stop service on this route. LOT flies from Warsaw Chopin Airport to Tbilisi International Airport.
Besides the non-stop flight, you can also reach Tbilisi from Warsaw with one stop along the way.
Most connecting itineraries are offered by the Turkish flag carrier Turkish Airlines. Turkish Airlines takes you from Warsaw to Tbilisi via Istanbul and is known for its service on board.
Low-cost travellers have another option: flying to western Georgia instead. From Warsaw you can take a Wizz Air flight to Kutaisi and continue to Tbilisi by shuttle bus.
How long is the Warsaw – Tbilisi flight?
The non-stop flight takes about 3 hours and 40 minutes. On a connecting itinerary the total travel time depends on the layover, which varies from one airport and airline to another.
How to find cheap Warsaw – Tbilisi tickets
- Book 1.5 to 2 months in advance.
- Fly midweek rather than at the weekend — demand is lower on working days, and fares usually follow.
- Buy both legs at the same time. Airlines and agencies normally price a return ticket better than two separate one-way tickets.
- Use a search engine that brings together almost every airline and flight, so you can compare and book in one place.
Which airlines fly non-stop from Warsaw right now?
The non-stop Warsaw – Tbilisi flight is currently operated by LOT Polish Airlines: roughly six flights a week from Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) to Tbilisi International Airport (TBS), mostly with evening departures, on a Boeing 737 MAX 8. Exact days and departure times shift with the season, so always check your specific date before booking.
One important note: travelling via Kyiv is not possible at the moment — Ukrainian airspace remains closed to civil aviation. The connecting options that actually work today are Istanbul (Turkish Airlines), Vienna (Austrian Airlines) and Frankfurt or Munich (Lufthansa). A connection is often cheaper, but it adds several hours or more to the journey.
Tbilisi or Kutaisi — which option works out better?
The second, often cheaper way into Georgia from Warsaw is the Wizz Air service to Kutaisi International Airport (KUT), which runs almost daily from Warsaw (the schedule changes seasonally).
- Tbilisi (TBS): you land in the city itself and need no onward transfer, but the ticket costs more.
- Kutaisi (KUT): the fare is often significantly lower, but you will need about 3.5 hours on the shuttle bus to Tbilisi and a separate fare for it (around 30 GEL). Keep in mind, too, that with low-cost carriers checked baggage is paid for separately.
If Tbilisi or the surrounding region is your destination and you are travelling with luggage, the non-stop flight often wins. If you are heading for western Georgia — Batumi, Kutaisi, Svaneti — landing in Kutaisi is far more convenient.
What to know about both airports
- Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW): about 10 km from the city centre. There is a railway station right under the terminal — S2 and S3 trains reach the centre in roughly 30 minutes — plus bus lines 175, 188 and 148, and the N32 night bus.
- Tbilisi International Airport (TBS): about 17 km from the centre. City bus No. 337 runs from the airport into town (Freedom Square, Rustaveli Avenue, Station Square) for 1 GEL; a taxi or Bolt takes 30–45 minutes.
Time difference and planning your flight
Georgia is on UTC+4 all year and does not change its clocks, while Poland is on UTC+2 in summer and UTC+1 in winter. Tbilisi is therefore 2 hours ahead of Warsaw in summer and 3 hours ahead in winter. Keep that gap in mind when you calculate a layover or arrange for someone to meet you in Tbilisi. An evening non-stop departure means a late-night arrival in Tbilisi, so plan in advance how you will get from the airport.
Visas and documents
Georgian citizens with a biometric passport can stay in Poland, as a Schengen member state, without a visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period — for tourism, visits or business meetings; work or study requires a separate permit. The rules for service and diplomatic passports have changed, and the EU is also preparing its ETIAS electronic travel authorisation, so check the current requirements on the Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs consular portal before you travel. Polish and other EU citizens may stay in Georgia visa-free for up to one year.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a non-stop Warsaw – Tbilisi flight?
Yes. LOT Polish Airlines operates it around six times a week, and the flight takes up to 3 hours and 40 minutes.
When are tickets cheapest?
Late autumn and winter are low season (outside the New Year and holiday period), while late spring and the summer months are the busiest and most expensive. Booking 1.5–2 months ahead usually gives the best price.
How much baggage can I take?
Your allowance depends on the fare: the cheapest economy fares often include hand baggage only, with checked bags paid for separately. Read what your chosen fare includes before you complete the booking.
Do I need a transit visa when changing planes?
Georgian citizens do not need a transit visa in Istanbul. For European airports — Vienna, Frankfurt, Munich — the same visa-free rules apply as for entering Poland.
