Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) is Georgia’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, making it the primary choice for most inbound and outbound travelers. The airport sits about 17 km southeast of central Tbilisi and can be reached by taxi in roughly 20–30 minutes (fares usually varying with traffic and provider) or by metro+bus combinations and shuttle services that take around 30–50 minutes for lower cost options. Rental cars are widely available on-site. Pros: straightforward layout, regular flights across Europe and the region, and relatively short transfer times to the city. Cons: flights and ground transport can be busier during peak seasons, and budget travelers may find cheaper fares from alternative carriers or flexible dates.

Pros: compact terminal, straightforward check-in and quick transfers for domestic connections. Cons: fewer long-haul options and limited late-night services compared with major international hubs.
