Transfers from Tbilisi to Kutaisi Airport

Is there a Train from Tbilisi to Kutaisi Airport?

Train enthusiasts and aficionados will be very pleased to hear that indeed there is a train between the two locations, and it is quite easy to take, as there are no connections to be made – it is direct from Tbilisi to Kutaisi!

Depending on where you are in the city, you will need to make your way over to the main train station, located on the aptly-named ‘Station Square’. Make sure to carefully check the departure board to locate which platform your train will be leaving from. The train you are searching for is the Tbilisi-Batumi train, which makes a stop at Kutaisi Airport, provided by GR.

The cost of a ticket should be around 35 GEL (12 EUR) for a second class ticket, which can be purchased at the station, or even online through the official website, although an account will need to be created there.

The duration of the trip will be almost 5 hours.

Getting a Bus from Tbilisi to Kutaisi Airport

The bus is also a perfectly sage option of transportation between those two cities, although it will take quite a bit longer. As was the case for the train, the bus ride is also direct, at least as far as we can tell with the information we have available to us currently.

The bus to catch is the City Bus Georgia, which begins its route from Tbilisi Ortachala Bus Station, in the southern portion of the city. Depending on where you are currently located in the city, you will need to organise transportation to the bus station by either taking another bus, or booking a private transfer.

After locating the appropriate bus, head onboard, pay the driver the fare of around 10 euros and begin your journey through the Georgian countryside.

This journey will also take around 5 hours, although if there is any traffic, it is likely to be longer.

Distance from Tbilisi to Kutaisi Airport

The two are on opposite sides of the country, meaning the distance is quite great, at least for local standards. In total, the journey should take around 4 hours.

Cheapest Way from Tbilisi to Kutaisi Airport

Correctly budgeting your trip is always a good idea. If you are a budget-conscious traveller, then overpaying for a taxi or car rental will definitely not be a good way to start your trip. The cheapest option you have to you, is public transport, with either the train or the bus, although both are priced roughly the same.

If, though, you prefer not to take public transport, either due to having a lot of luggage, travelling with children, or just because you don’t like it, then the only option left to you, is booking a private transfer with AtoB. That way you can enjoy the privacy of your own car, without the ambiguity surrounding the cost. We offer a fixed price system, that means you know exactly what you are paying for before even stepping into the car.
