Warsaw to Tbilisi is a short, direct hop to the Caucasus, and it is one of the easiest long weekends you can book from Poland. LOT Polish Airlines flies the route non-stop in about three and a half hours, so you can be sipping Georgian wine the same evening you leave Chopin. This guide covers who flies the route, what a fair return fare looks like in złoty, and how to book it well.

Fares from Warsaw to Tbilisi (PLN)
Tbilisi is a year-round city break, but Georgia’s seasons still nudge fares. Late spring (May–June) and early autumn (September–October) are the most popular, thanks to mild weather and the wine harvest, so those fares run highest. Deep winter and the height of summer are quieter and cheaper. The table below shows when the route is busiest. We no longer print per-month fare estimates here, because they were never measured.
| Month | Typical return (economy) | Demand |
|---|---|---|
| January | — | low |
| February | — | low |
| March | — | medium |
| April | — | medium-high |
| May | — | high |
| June | — | high |
| July | — | medium |
| August | — | medium |
| September | — | high |
| October | — | high (harvest) |
| November | — | medium |
| December | — | medium-high (holidays) |
Reference points from our own deal tracking: a good return lands around 770 zł, a typical fair price is roughly 800–900 zł, and the cheapest we have tracked is close to 540 zł return. These are indicative economy returns — always check the live fare before booking.
Airlines on this route
Non-stop (about 3½ hours):
- LOT Polish Airlines — the only carrier we have seen flying Warsaw directly to Tbilisi, several times a week on a Boeing 737 with a full-service economy cabin. Late-evening departures make a Friday-night getaway easy.
One-stop (sometimes cheaper):
- Turkish Airlines via Istanbul — frequent connections and often the lowest headline fare if you don’t mind a change.
- Wizz Air to Kutaisi (KUT) — not Tbilisi, but a low-cost non-stop option about three hours by road or shuttle from the capital, handy if the fare is right.
- Pegasus via Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen and other network carriers via their hubs — usually the cheapest, at the cost of a longer journey.
For Tbilisi itself, the LOT non-stop is the simplest choice; a one-stop only makes sense if it is meaningfully cheaper or fits your schedule better.
When to book & how to save
- Book 4–8 weeks ahead for the best fares; on a single-carrier non-stop route, the cheapest seats sell first and prices climb near departure.
- Travel in winter or high summer for the lowest fares — spring and the autumn wine harvest are the busiest and dearest windows.
- Check the bag allowance: LOT’s cheapest “Light” fares may carry cabin baggage only, so add a checked bag before comparing against a one-stop.
- Consider Kutaisi if you are flexible — a Wizz Air fare into KUT plus a shuttle to Tbilisi can beat the direct fare, though it adds a few hours each way.
- Fly midweek: Tuesday–Thursday departures are usually a little cheaper than weekend flights on this route.
Arriving in Tbilisi
LOT lands at Tbilisi International (TBS), about 17 km east of the city centre. The cheapest way in is city bus route 337 to Freedom Square (roughly 45–55 minutes for around 4 zł), which runs day and night. A metered or app-booked taxi to the centre takes 20–30 minutes and costs about 25–45 zł — agree the fare or use a ride-hailing app rather than the arrivals-hall touts.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the flight from Warsaw to Tbilisi?
The non-stop LOT flight takes about 3 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours 45 minutes eastbound from Warsaw to Tbilisi, with the return a touch longer against the winds. It is a short-enough hop to make a long weekend in Georgia genuinely practical.
Are there direct flights from Warsaw to Tbilisi?
Yes. LOT Polish Airlines flies non-stop from Warsaw Chopin to Tbilisi several times a week. It is currently the only carrier we have seen with a direct service on this exact route — Wizz Air flies to Georgia too, but into Kutaisi rather than Tbilisi.
How much does it cost to fly from Warsaw to Tbilisi?
A typical economy return runs about 700–1,300 zł depending on the season. Good deals land around 770 zł, and the cheapest we have tracked is close to 540 zł return. Spring and the autumn wine harvest sit at the top of the range.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Warsaw to Tbilisi?
January, February and mid-summer are usually the cheapest months to fly. The busiest and priciest months are May–June and September–October, when Georgia’s weather and the wine harvest draw the most visitors.
Which airlines fly from Warsaw to Tbilisi?
LOT Polish Airlines is the only non-stop carrier. If you are willing to connect, Turkish Airlines and Pegasus route via Istanbul and are often cheaper, and Wizz Air offers a low-cost non-stop to Kutaisi as an alternative gateway to Georgia.
Which airport do I fly into in Tbilisi?
LOT lands at Tbilisi International (TBS), about 17 km east of the centre. It is linked to the city by bus route 337 and by taxi. If you fly Wizz Air instead, you arrive at Kutaisi (KUT), a separate airport roughly a three-hour transfer from Tbilisi.
How far in advance should I book Warsaw to Tbilisi flights?
Aim to book 4 to 8 weeks ahead. Because LOT is the sole non-stop operator, the cheapest seats go early and fares rise as departure nears — particularly around the spring and autumn peaks. Booking ahead is the surest way to the low fare.
Is it cheaper to fly on weekdays?
Usually, yes — midweek departures (Tuesday to Thursday) tend to be a little cheaper than Friday–Sunday flights. Shifting your trip by a day or two, or flying out and back on weekdays, can trim the return fare by roughly 80–200 zł.
