Batumi flight schedule. Flights from Batumi. Where to change money

The city of Batumi Airport has an international status. In summer, a lot of charter flights land here, which bring tourists to the excellent pebble beaches. But at other times of the year, Batumi Airport, or Chorokh (as it is also called), is not empty. What regular flights does the air harbor of Adjara take, what services await the traveler in the terminal, and how to get to the city? Read about all this below.

Where is Batumi air harbor

The airport is just two kilometers southwest of the city center. Batumi is located quite close to the border with Turkey. Thus, the city of Artvin lies just twenty kilometers south of the airport. The only terminal was put into operation in May 2007. In order to obtain the status of Batumi's international air harbor, the airport was transformed according to European standards in 2009. Renovation allowed the city not only to accept charters with summer tourists, but also to service regional flights of northeast Turkey. The capacity of this hub is six hundred thousand travelers a year. The area of \u200b\u200bthe airport is almost four thousand square meters. The maximum weight of an aircraft that can land in Batumi air harbor is 64 tons. In this regard, the airfield is assigned the second class. He is ready to accept helicopters of any type, as well as Tu-134, Il-18, Yak-42, Airbus A319 and A320 airliners, as well as the Boeing 737.

Scoreboard

What flights are constantly arriving in Batumi? The airport, whose schedule is especially busy in the summer, takes regular flights from Moscow Domodedovo on Saturdays and Tuesdays. Two and a half hours fly from the capital of Russia to Batumi, regardless of which carrier you choose - S7 or Georgian Airways. Ural Airlines connect Adjara with St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg. Quite a lot of flights connect Batumi with the two main cities of Turkey - Ankara and Istanbul. Belavia brings passengers from Minsk, and Ukraine International Airlines from Boryspil). Naturally, Batumi connects many domestic flights with the capital of the country, Tbilisi. They are made by the Georgian Airlines company. The same carrier sends its vehicles to Tehran, Tel Aviv and Kiev. In but in JanAer company liners fly away.

Services

The international terminal of the air harbor is not much different from the like. It is compact and comfortable. There are duty-free shops, an office for the return of VAT, ATMs, a left-luggage office and luggage packing, a cafe, waiting rooms. But there is also a highlight that immediately catches the eye of those passengers who arrive in Batumi in the evening. The airport is equipped with an extraordinary control tower, which with the help of illumination looks exactly like an intergalactic ship. Therefore, it seems that an alien spaceship has landed in the air harbor of Adjara.

Batumi Airport: how to get to the city

The easiest way to overcome the two kilometers separating Chorokh from the city is by bus. There is a stop right at the exit from the terminal. City bus number 9 takes you through the streets of old Batumi. Route number 10 runs along the beautiful promenade and the main transport artery of the capital of Adjara, Prospect Bus fare - only forty tetri. You will be in the city center in twenty minutes. But buses run from seven in the morning until midnight. In addition, in the winter, their runs become less frequent than in the summer. If you arrive in Batumi at night, the only way to get to the city is by taxi. You can book a transfer in advance. State taxi runs on the counter and more reliable. Private traders on duty at the airport rip off visitors at exorbitant prices.

Batumi International Airport is located on the outskirts of the city, 6 km from the center, has international status and is named after Alexander Kartveli. A small one-story building, without the usual terminals and long transitions from one end to the other. Upon arrival, the plane is taxiing directly to the entrance from the side of the runway. Inside is everything you need for tourists: a waiting room, several currency exchanges, car rental in Georgia, a cafe, a tourist center and a Tax Free refund.

After you leave the plane gangway, you enter the Batumi airport building, then the corridor to the left, at the end of which the first exchanger is located. After him, all line up for paperwork. While check-in is in progress, through large windows you can see baggage being brought in from a plane on a trolley, which is carefully inspected by the four-legged guard of Georgian customs for several minutes. Stamps in passports are placed in two windows, by this time the suitcases are already spinning on the conveyor belt.

  What is and what is not at Batumi airport

The airport infrastructure, due to its tiny size, is ready to provide customers with only the necessary range of services:

• currency exchange - there are 4 exchange offices in the building - 1 in the arrivals and departures area, and 2 in the main hall. The course in them is only slightly inferior to offers in the city center. There is also a round-the-clock ATM, where you can cash lari from a plastic card, converting them from any foreign currency, and a payment terminal;
• free wi-fi - does not require registration and works with any mobile operator. Communication can be very unstable and constantly falls off;
• tourist center - an employee in Russian will answer any questions, help call a taxi for free or call your hotel if necessary, give out brochures and a tourist map of Adjara for free. It works only during the day outside the season, but cards can be taken independently at any time of the day;
• packing bags in a film will cost about $ 6;
• car rental in Batumi;
• a small cafe with 5 tables, an apparatus with coffee and a tray with churchkhela;
• reception of free SIM cards of the Georgian mobile operator "Geocell" and "Beeline";
• a souvenir shop with an appropriate set of goods in the form of magnets, plates and other memorabilia with Georgian attributes;
• waiting room - 32 seats opposite the ticket office;
• Tax Free - tax free return is made inside the building, to the right of the entrance, as indicated by the corresponding plate. Present the checks and goods in the factory packaging to the customs officer, he puts a mark, and you receive the money after registration;
• parking is paid - staying on it costs around $ 1 per day. Free - if you don’t get to the main entrance 50 meters, you can park your car for free along the sidewalk;
• Duty Free at Batumi Airport is available only to departing passengers, working around the clock. They sell perfumes, cigarettes, cosmetics, sweets and alcoholic drinks. Prices are high.

Keep in mind that in the low tourist season at night and even during the day between arrivals / departures, the vast majority of booths providing the above services are simply empty.

  Where to change money

There is 1 private currency exchange, 3 branches of Georgian banks, an ATM and a payment terminal at Batumi Airport. The course in them is only slightly inferior to the city one and by changing $ 20-50 you will practically lose nothing, there is no commission.

If you have arrived and more than one exchanger does not work, but you urgently need GEL here and now, then there are 2 options:

1. Take a taxi and ask the taxi driver to call in to change money. If he himself proposes to do this, then the course will probably be too much in his favor, so ask for a stop at a profitable exchanger. It is difficult to fear that you will be brought into the gateway and all the money will be taken away - such a scenario in Georgia.
2. We leave the airport, go straight ahead to the first traffic light, 250 meters, turn right and go along the road for another 100-150 meters, although the course there will not be so hot.

In general, there is no urgent need to change money immediately upon arrival, only if you are planning to take the bus, but more on that below. To ensure that 4 people can travel, $ 0.5 is enough, a round-the-clock ATM will help you with this, including Russian plastic cards.

  How to get from Batumi airport to the city center

There are several ways to get to your destination: transfer, taxi, bus, own feet and hospitable hosts who will meet you in their car. Consider below all options, including moving to distant resorts such as Sarpi, Kobuleti, Ureki and others.

  Taxi

By taxi to Batumi from the airport you can get cheaply or expensive. The fact is that local drivers-private traders are always on duty at the site in front of the entrance. Upon arrival, they are activated and offer their services to all outgoing tourists. Everyone has the same rate to the center - $ 8-10, depending on the season. When most arrivals depart, they drop the price tag somewhere by $ 2, then no more. This is an expensive taxi designed for uninformed or in a hurry people.

A cheap taxi from the airport to Batumi will cost 2.5-3.5 times cheaper. At such rates, a local Uber analogue is used, on their website you can pre-download a mobile application in Russian for any mobile phone and use it to call a car upon arrival, or do it directly through the website using free Wi-Fi. The line operates mainly Toyota Prius.

In the "From" column, click on the map icon and mark your current location. In the column "Where" by analogy mark the destination. For your order to be accepted, an SMS with a code will come to your phone number. By default, the code of Georgian mobile operators is indicated, but it can be replaced by any other, the main thing is that you are in roaming and can receive SMS if you are in Georgia.

If you do not plan to switch to roaming, then “TaxiMaxim” can be called up while still at home, by pressing “Options” and selecting “Pre-order” and indicating the right time and date. Also in the lower right corner of the site there is a Telegram bot and Viber chat, where you can also call a taxi via the Internet.

In order not to lose time, make an order while standing in line for paperwork.

If you plan to relax in Gonio ($ 4), Kvariati ($ 5), Sarpi ($ 6), Chakvi ($ 7), Kobuleti ($ 11) or Ureki ($ 17), then through this application you will easily find a suitable carrier at a reasonable price.

  Transfer

Suppose that you arrive in a large company and you need a roomy car, or you’ve dreamed all your life that a person with a sign with your name would meet you at the airport, or that a child seat in the cabin is a prerequisite, or maybe you just don’t like a taxi. In this case, pay attention to any place, for example, Kobuleti, Ureki, and maybe even Tbilisi.

  Bus

A bus stop is right next to the main entrance to the airport building. There is an electronic sign showing how many minutes the next bus will leave. In total, there are 3 buses from this stop in Batumi - No. 9, No. 10 and 10A. They are equipped with GPS beacons and it is convenient to monitor their current location on a special site - select the desired route number and see in real time where the bus is currently traveling.

Previously, you could buy a ticket from a conductor, but since 2019 they were finally canceled by introducing special plastic cards with a balance. You can ride at least ten on one card, the main thing is to spend 10 times on the validator and have to go out together. Traveling one person at any distance will cost 30 tetri. Unfortunately, you cannot buy such a card at the airport separately, there is only a special set for 10 GEL sold in the tourist center: plastic (3 GEL on the account), Beeline SIM card (1 GEL on the account) and a rather thick discount book that provides discounts to visit restaurants, cafes and much more.

Bus number 9 immediately turns into the city and through the center reaches the far edge of the seaport. The route passes through the streets of Bagrationi, Javakhishvili, Griboedov, Gorgiladze, Naykolos Baratashvili, Gogebashvili, past the bus station on the street. Shevshetskaya, through Mayakovsky, Gogol and takes place on Katamadze. Thus, it turns out to capture both the inner regions and the central part. Opening hours: from September 15 to June 15 from 07:25 to 21:18; from June 16 to September 14 from 07:25 to 23:00.

Bus number 10 goes directly to the sea and travels along the entire coast to the Batumi Botanical Garden. The route passes through Lech and Maria Kaczynski, Sheriff Khimshiashvili, Gogebashvili and Rustaveli Avenue. Ideal for those who have booked accommodation by the sea. Opening hours: from September 15 to June 15 from 07:00 to 22:00; from June 16 to September 14 from 07:00 to 24:00.

10A has a route completely identical to No. 10, with the only difference being that it travels 3 km further towards Chakvi.

  On foot

Honestly so-so idea. I walked for the sake of the experiment, because stayed nearby, in sneakers, not very hot, reached the sea without baggage in half an hour (2.7 km). And then you have to stomp through the whole New Boulevard at best, the same amount, at worst 2 times more. You can cut and go circling through neighborhoods, but this will not do the weather. This option is only suitable for those who love to walk long distances or rented a house nearby, while the rest is better to take out $ 3 by taxi and ride with the breeze.

This is how the narrow sidewalk leading to the sea looks like, rolling a suitcase on it is still a pleasure.

  Car rental in Batumi

You can rent a car at Batumi Airport. A local small company with a limited fleet offers rental cars in a small stall in the main hall. Unfortunately, I could not talk to them about prices, because the employee was not there day or night.

Having studied the offers on the market, I came to the conclusion that there are 2 major players in Georgia: the first is known worldwide and works with international rental companies with its own fleet of vehicles, and the second offers a fleet of local firms.

1.   - the cheapest prices and normal conditions, some cars give even from 22 years old, and not from 25, like most. The company is solid, therefore it keeps the brand and monitors the technical condition of the machines of its partners.
2.   - The company cooperates exclusively with local companies that sell their cars in Georgia. The rental price is approximately the same, as is the case with a competitor above, differences are found only in the conditions and model range.

  Freebie from hospitable hosts

If you have booked in advance (this applies to a lesser extent to apartments), many owners will agree or offer to meet you at the airport upon arrival and then take you back on the day of departure, even if your flight arrives late at night - this is not a problem.

Locals say that the airport still has a slight twist - at night the control room is beautifully illuminated and looks very picturesque.

In the afternoon, the airport looks rather modest. Of the benefits, it’s only beautiful views of the mountains and excellent natural landscapes that set up for relaxation even during planting.

Batumi Airport Flight Schedules - Online Scoreboard

If you just need to find out the time of arrival of the aircraft, I advise you to use the online scoreboard on our website. The airport website also has a flight schedule, but it is not so convenient in English.

Please note that arrival and departure flights are local time. In Georgia there is no transition to summer and winter time. Georgia lives an hour ahead of Moscow. That is, at 13:00 Moscow time, it is already 14:00 in Georgia.

Where is Batumi airport located and how to get there?

It is very convenient that the airport is literally next to the city (). The old center is about 6 kilometers away, and the modern suburbs with skyscrapers and restaurants are generally only 3 km away.

If you are guided by time - it is from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic jams.

Transfer options to Batumi airport - from taxi to local services

There are many ways to get from the airport. We will try to consider the most profitable and popular of them:

One of the cheapest ways to get from the airport to any resort is to book a transfer in advance. 2 services are actively working in Georgia:

• Local gotrip.ge. It features low prices (often cheaper than a taxi), the ability to choose a specific driver and car, the presence of one-day tours and the lack of prepayment in most directions.
• International - is present in different countries, and therefore is already familiar to many tourists. They have very good support, but rather high prices in Georgia.

Usually it’s much more convenient to book a transfer in advance than to look for a taxi on the spot - and the driver will meet you with a sign and you won’t have to bargain with the taxi driver to bring down the price to a more or less normal one.

Batumi Airport on the map

In order to make it easier for you to navigate, we marked Batumi Airport on a city map and plotted a route from the airport to the tourist part of Batumi.

Cheap flights to Batumi how to search?

The easiest way to find really cheap flights to Batumi is to use metasearch engines like Aviasales or the low price calendar on our website.

Both of these options allow you to quickly find the days when the cost of the flight is minimal. If it’s not very important for you which day to fly and a plus or minus a couple of days of weather will not, then you can buy the cheapest tickets. Themselves saw cases where tickets with a departure in a couple of days are 2 times cheaper than average.

There is no point in looking for charters in Batumi. As far as we know, at the time of writing, they did not exist.

Our impressions of Batumi airport

As I already wrote, the airport in Batumi is very small, but quite modern and meets all European standards. The runway is in good condition - landing is not at all scary.

Unfortunately, photographing and shooting in the airport is prohibited (even special signs hang and employees swear), so adding a lot of photos to the article will not work.

Guests of sunny Batumi are met by a small modern airport. It is located just 7 km from the city center and bears two names at once: the official name is Alexandra Kartveli (an aircraft designer of Georgian origin who built planes in America) and the national name Chorokh (the so-called river flowing nearby).

The design capacity of the air hub is 600 thousand people per year, it actually serves about 500 thousand. Flights from Es Seven, Belavia, Turkish Airlines and Georgian Airlines connect the air harbor with Moscow, Kiev, Minsk, Tel- Aviv, seasonal flights on the wings of Air Arabia and Fly Dubai are carried out in the UAE. The only runway is designed for TU-134, Boeing-737, Airbus-320 and others.

How to get to the airport

  In order not to go broke on this expense item, it is better not to take the cars standing at the entrance to the terminal building - they will ask for a trip of 20 GEL. And if you order a taxi through the application or from the city by phone - no more than 10 GEL. Prices on the page are for August 2019.

  The city center is only 7 km, but traffic jams in Batumi in the morning and evening.

  At route number 9, the final one is in the city center; No. 10 goes along the coast to the railway station.

  Car rental in Batumi airport

  It’s quite possible to transfer from an airplane seat to a car directly at Batumi airport - there is a representative office of Sixt international distributor. Local companies will also be happy to bring the car to the exit of the terminal - for an additional fee, of course.
