Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) is Georgia’s primary international gateway and typically handles most long-haul, regional and low-cost carriers alongside the national airline. Located about 17 km southeast of the city center, the airport can be reached by city bus in roughly 30–40 minutes (budget-friendly fares), taxi in 20–30 minutes (moderate cost), or private transfer services that vary by provider. Facilities are compact but usually efficient for arrivals, departures and basic shopping; peak times can feel crowded. Pros: direct connections and straightforward transfers close to the capital. Cons: fewer lounge and premium amenities compared with larger hubs, and occasional traffic-dependent journey times into central Tbilisi.

Fly direct from Tbilisi to Johannesburg for the fastest, most convenient way to bridge Georgia and South Africa—less travel stress, fewer layovers, and more time on the ground exploring. While connections can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop trip saves hours and delivers greater comfort, making it worth considering when planning your journey.

Johannesburg is served mainly by O.R. Tambo International (JNB), the country’s primary international hub handling most long-haul and regional flights, and by smaller Lanseria (HLA), which often caters to low-cost carriers and some regional services. O.R. Tambo lies about 22 km east of the city center and is typically used by full-service airlines and major alliances; travel into central Johannesburg usually takes 25–45 minutes by Gautrain (fast rail) or 30–60 minutes by car depending on traffic. Gautrain trips to Sandton/central stations are generally quicker and pricier than regular buses or minibus taxis, with fares varying by zone. Lanseria sits roughly 40 km northwest and can be cheaper on budget routes, with shuttle transfers and taxis commonly used; transfers may take 45–70 minutes. O.R. Tambo offers broad connectivity and more passenger amenities, while Lanseria can be less crowded and easier for quick budget connections—though it has fewer services and less public-transport frequency.
