Wizz Air is launching its new flight service from Hamburg Airport to Kutaisi, Georgia. This route will operate twice weekly and offers northern Germans a direct way to visit the city, named a top travel destination for 2025 by the New York Times.
New access to the Caucasus from Hamburg
Wizz Air launched its first direct flight from Hamburg to Kutaisi on April 15, offering travelers from northern Germany a convenient way to explore the cultural and natural beauty of Georgia. Flights depart every Tuesday and Saturday at 6:25 PM, with a flight duration of approximately four hours. Tickets are available starting at €39.99 through various booking channels. This new connection allows travelers to discover one of Europe’s most impressive regions.
Kutaisi – A jewel in the Caucasus
The city of Kutaisi, recently recognized as a top travel destination for 2025, is a magnet for culture and nature lovers. Nestled in the breathtaking scenery of the Caucasus Mountains, it offers both historical sights such as the Bagrati Cathedral and the Gelati Monastery, as well as a vibrant gastronomy scene. Dirk Behrens, Head of Aviation at Hamburg Airport, emphasizes that this connection is a great opportunity for travelers to unleash their passion for discovery in a region that boasts a unique blend of urban charm and untouched nature.
