Which side of the plane to sit from Tbilisi International Airport (Tbilisi) to Batumi International Airport (Batumi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular panoramas of the Greater Caucasus mountain range for the duration of the flight and a scenic coastal entry into Batumi.
Greater Caucasus Peaks
Witness the dramatic snow-capped summits of the high Caucasus, including distant views of Mount Shkhara.
Kutaisi Urban View
See the historic city of Kutaisi and the white stones of the Rioni River from above.
Kolkheti Lowlands
Look down upon the subtropical wetlands and ancient marshes of the Colchis region.
Black Sea Coastline
Enjoy the stunning transition from the green mountains to the deep blue waters of the Black Sea.
Sit well clear of the wing for the best mountain photography. Early morning flights are ideal as the rising sun hits the southern faces of the high peaks, providing high-contrast views. Watch for the sharp turn over the coastline for the best city views.
Trialeti Range
View the rugged volcanic landscapes and deep valleys of the Lesser Caucasus mountain system.
Borjomi-Kharagauli
Fly over one of Europe's largest national parks, characterized by dense emerald forests.
Mtkvari Valley
Observe the winding path of Georgia's longest river as it carves through the central highlands.
Chorokhi Delta
Spot the lush river delta and the Turkish border mountains during the final descent into Batumi.
Opt for an afternoon flight to ensure the sun is behind you, illuminating the green slopes of the Lesser Caucasus. This side is particularly beautiful in autumn when the deciduous forests change color.
