Best option is read the thread, asses your circumstances and reference it off the numerous different ways to get there. There is another thread on things to do in Georgia too Thumbs Up

I'm on that flight on the Thursday, is that what you're on? Bit nervy about the connection, had similar through Stansted to Moldova last year and made it but was bricking it the whole journey to Stansted....


Yeah us and two others are on the 4pm flight. Its due in to Luton at 5:15 but you know Ryanair it doesn't take an hour and 15 minutes to get to Luton, and I've been monitoring the flight the past few days its been getting in before 5:15 regularly so hopefully it should be alright, never been in Luton but can't imagine its huge. We had a two hour stopover in Stansted coming back from Vienna, flight leaving Vienna was delayed by 30 minutes and then we had to wait for one of those Monorail things in Stansted so was tight enough.


Didnt fancy risking that flight so got an early morning flight and will kill a few hours in london before hand. Luton is small enough so all go to plan id say youll have enough time.


Yeah hopefully be alright. Yous all booking a place in Kutaisi for a few hours kip before the train the next day?


Yeah, the lads are in with me. 
Changed our hotel after you pointed out I had booked somewhere near the wrong train station !!

Booked into a place called "<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; white-space: nowrap;">Hotel Kutaisi Globus"</span>


Is there not a connecting bus after Wizzz lands in Kuts to take you to Tbilisi ? Might stay in Kuts and have a kip and get afternoon train up . I'm sure SD has a timetable up somewhere

No, no bus meets that Wizz flight, unless the timetable hasnt been updated because its a relatively new route

The buses are timed to meet the Kutaisi flights and they maybe just haven't updated the timetable yet.

Georgianbus.com is the bus company; they should be running to match flights.

I'm still taking the train. I don't fancy four hours each way on a minibus when it's 3h20m from Rioni on the train. Admittedly the train times don't quite match up and I'll still need to take a taxi from the train station to Kutaisi but whatever.

Biggest fear is stayin in Kuts after the Wizz flight and end up on a session in Kuts and having to travel up to Tbilisi with a head like a bag of lego later that day

Being the absolute pleb that I am, and having no experience of such high luxuries, what exactly will first class get me on a Georgian train?
 
Few of us heading to Kutaisi on the Sunday, leaving Monday.

Likely just a bigger or more comfortable seat. I think second class might be 3+2 whereas first class is 2+2. Their trains are wider than ours though. Even if it is only a bigger seat, for the pennies extra it costs, it is likely worth it.

Not sure if you mean the direct London to Kutaisi flights, as opposed to direct London Tbilisi flights.

Wizzair from Luton to Kutaisi have been on sale for a while. The price did jump initially when a few booked on it but they've come down again. Luton to Kutaisi, return, Thursday to Monday, is back down to a reasonabl-ish £212, although you need to add on the Dublin Luton flights for about 70 euro.

Those Wizz flights might be cheaper if you join the discount club.

FAO GF . ConAir was a reference to Confederation Air as they were running the direct (trying) gig to Tbilisi. Nothing to do with the travel company or having a cheap shot . I explained on the wrong thread so some super modding was done and posts were edited

Can't move em on the phone unfortunately which would have been better than editing

Thought you were having a cheap shot as well, hence wanted to get rid of it, apologies I took this up wrong

Yeah, I saw that and got it that you meant "confederation", but realised it could have been taken the wrong way.

Anyway, no harm done. Maybe try contacting the confed and find out if the flight is still running. Ballybrack might be the best individual club as I think they were taking the lead on it.

I was just curious to see if people took up the offer on a direct route but haven't heard of anything . I made an early inquiry but I was told to join up to supporters club if I wanted to go

Not the way I picked it up, but fair play for clarifying.

From what I know there was not enough demand, which was not unexpected.

I think that Fanfares aim was to show that they could put on a charter a lot cheaper than the 2 other companies that currently offer trips.

They know that they need to have prices within days of the fixture announcements as well.


I believe they have 2 flights full to Cardiff at much better prices than the other 2 operators.
I know nothing :-)
