No direct flights connect Pune (PNQ) and Tbilisi (TBS). The most practical routings in 2026 involve a connection at Dubai (DXB) — where Flydubai operates an affordable Dubai–Tbilisi daily service, often paired with IndiGo or Air India from Pune to Dubai — or at Istanbul (IST) via Turkish Airlines, which has strong Delhi–Istanbul and Mumbai–Istanbul frequencies. Air Arabia via Sharjah (SHJ) is another budget-friendly option. Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) connects via Baku (GYD) and can be the cheapest routing on certain dates, though it adds a longer route. From Pune, IndiGo offers Pune–Mumbai and Pune–Delhi connections to these international services. Turkish Airlines on a single PNR from Pune via Istanbul is often considered the smoothest overall option for through-baggage.
Via Dubai, the typical journey involves a Pune–Dubai domestic-international segment (≈3h from Mumbai or ≈3h 30m from Delhi) followed by a Dubai–Tbilisi sector of ≈3h 30m. With a reasonable 2–3 hour layover, the total trip spans 9–11 hours. Via Istanbul, a Pune–Istanbul sector (≈7–8h from Delhi or Mumbai) plus Istanbul–Tbilisi (≈2h 30m) amounts to more flying time but Turkish Airlines' seamless connection at Istanbul's impressive new airport is well-regarded. Baku is slightly east of Tbilisi, making the AZAL routing via Baku add ≈1–2 hours versus the Istanbul path. Tbilisi's airport (TBS) has a comfortable new terminal; express taxi to Old Town Tbilisi takes 25–40 minutes and costs ≈₾30–40 GEL (≈₹900–1,200).
Georgia is one of the few destinations globally where Indian passport holders can obtain a visa on arrival, making it an attractive and low-hassle choice. As of 2026, Indian nationals are eligible for a 30-day visa-on-arrival at Tbilisi's Shota Rustaveli International Airport, costing approximately USD 20–30 (≈₹1,700–2,500). Alternatively, an e-visa can be obtained through the official Georgian e-visa portal before travel for similar validity. Conditions include a valid passport, return/onward ticket, sufficient funds, and a hotel reservation. Long-stay options (1-year multiple-entry visa) are available through embassies for those planning extended stays. Georgia also has no income-tax obligation for short tourist stays, making it appealing for remote workers. Visit the FlightGPT visa guide for up-to-date conditions.
Economy round-trip fares on the Pune–Tbilisi routing typically range from ≈₹28,000 to ≈₹55,000, placing it among the more affordable long-haul international routes for Indian travellers. The cheapest windows are typically April–May and October–November. Peak Georgian tourism season runs June–August, when Tbilisi and the Caucasus mountains see high visitor numbers and fares tick higher. Budget-conscious travellers who book via Flydubai or Air Arabia via Sharjah often find the lower end of the range, though comfort and service standards are more basic than full-service options. Turkish Airlines fares via Istanbul are competitive and include good baggage allowances. Booking 6–10 weeks ahead for off-peak and 12–14 weeks for summer is a sensible strategy.
Georgia punches well above its weight as a destination. Tbilisi's Old Town (Abanotubani, Narikala Fortress) blends Persian, Russian, and European architectural styles. The Georgian wine region (Kakheti) is just 90 minutes from Tbilisi and offers wine-cave tastings. The Caucasus mountains (Kazbegi, Mestia) provide trekking, skiing, and dramatic scenery. Food is a highlight — Georgian khachapuri (bread-cheese boat), khinkali dumplings, and grilled meats are globally celebrated. Most restaurants in Tbilisi offer vegetarian variants of khachapuri and a wide range of fresh salads. Georgia is notably affordable for Indian travellers, with accommodation, food, and transport all costing significantly less than Western European equivalents. The GEL (Georgian Lari) is the local currency; card payments are accepted in Tbilisi hotels and restaurants.
Turkish Airlines includes 23 kg of checked baggage on economy tickets covering the entire India–Tbilisi journey on a single PNR, including the domestic Pune connection if booked via their codeshare with IndiGo. Flydubai typically includes 20–23 kg in economy, though fare conditions vary by booking class — confirm at time of purchase. Air Arabia fares may have lower allowances (15–20 kg) on cheaper fare buckets. If booking domestic Pune–Mumbai separately on IndiGo, the standard 15 kg domestic allowance applies to that sector. Carry-on allowances are typically 10 kg on Turkish Airlines and 7 kg on budget carriers. Georgia's own customs are relaxed for standard tourist quantities of personal goods.
Shota Rustaveli International Airport (TBS) has a modern single international terminal with good food and shopping options. The official taxi rank outside arrivals is metered; pre-negotiated fares for a fixed destination are common — agree on price before boarding. Ride-hailing via the Bolt app is widely available and usually cheaper than airport taxis (≈₾20–30 to city centre). The Tbilisi Metro (Vagzali station connects to the airport area via a short bus ride) is the cheapest option but less convenient with luggage. Within Georgia, marshrutkas (minibuses) and taxis serve the wine region, Mtskheta, and Gori. Buses to the ski resort of Gudauri and the mountain town of Kazbegi run seasonally and are popular with budget travellers.
Indian passport holders are eligible for a visa on arrival at Tbilisi Airport, valid for 30 days, costing approximately USD 20–30 (≈₹1,700–2,500). Alternatively, an e-visa obtained before travel via the official Georgian e-visa portal is also available. No advance embassy visit is required for a tourist stay.
Via Dubai (Flydubai) or Istanbul (Turkish Airlines) are the most popular options. The Dubai routing is typically cheaper with a shorter layover; the Istanbul routing on Turkish Airlines offers a single-ticket experience with good baggage and cabin standards. Baku via AZAL is an option for budget-focused travellers who don't mind a slightly longer route.
Total travel time is typically 9–13 hours door-to-door. Via Dubai with a 2–3 hour layover, total elapsed time is around 9–11 hours. Via Istanbul the flying time is longer but the connection is seamless at Istanbul's large new airport.
Economy round-trips typically range from ≈₹28,000 to ≈₹55,000. Budget routings via Flydubai or Air Arabia frequently fall below ₹35,000 during off-peak months. Summer (June–August) pushes fares toward the upper range.
Yes, moderately so. Georgian cuisine includes vegetarian-friendly dishes like cheese khachapuri, bean-filled lobiani, and fresh salads. Larger Tbilisi restaurants often have vegetarian sections on their menus. Strictly vegan dining is harder outside specialist cafes in the city centre, but options are growing with Tbilisi's cosmopolitan food scene.
Bolt ride-hailing app is the cheapest option (≈₾20–30, roughly ₹600–900 to city centre). Official airport taxis cost ≈₾30–40. The journey takes 25–40 minutes depending on traffic. There is no direct metro from the airport; a bus from the airport to the Isani or Vagzali metro stations is available but slow with luggage.
