By Plane
Georgia has three international airports. Relevant for German travelers:
Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) — Capital
The largest airport in the country, 17 km southeast of the city center. Direct flights from Munich (approx. 4h) and Berlin with Wizz Air. Via transfer: Lufthansa (via Frankfurt/Munich), Turkish Airlines (via Istanbul), LOT (via Warsaw), Pegasus (via Istanbul).
Transfer: Bus No. 37 to the city center (0.50 GEL / €0.15, 40 min). Bolt/Taxi approx. 20–30 GEL (€6–9, 25 min). At night, only taxi.
Kutaisi International Airport (KUT) — Western Georgia
The low-cost carrier hub! Wizz Air flies extremely cheaply from several German cities (Dortmund, Memmingen, Berlin) to Kutaisi. The airport is 14 km west of Kutaisi. Shuttle buses to Tbilisi (4h, 20 GEL) meet the flights.
Batumi International Airport (BUS) — Black Sea Coast
Small airport on the Black Sea coast. Seasonal connections, mainly via Istanbul. More suitable as an endpoint of a round trip than as an entry point.
