However, it could benefit from more dining and shopping options. The Check In Staff required Training for greeting the passengers. Overall, a satisfactory gateway to Georgia.

Make sure to come in advance as you will most likely need all the 3 hours that are recommended.
.. Read more »First, the security line was so long that they had to manage who can even go to the second floor. Only 5 people every few minutes were let in.
Secondly, after waiting for 30 minutes in a line, our friends were not let in the check because they had digital boarding passes and had to go down to print them. (What airport in the 21st century requires a printed ticket?)
Last but not least a blatantly racist security check. If you are not white, prepare to be under extra scrutiny. They checked my passport for 15 minutes, and had 4 different people coming in to take a look at me and my girlfriend. The policewoman was even obviously writing on WhatsApp to figure out what to do with us. This pattern repeated with other not-so “white” folks that I saw in other lines.
This is really an unfortunate conclusion to my trip as I only had good experience with the Georgian (especially Tbilisi) people as they were warm, welcoming and friendly. Unfortunately, the exact opposite is what you will receive from the airport staff.

He didn’t know that we are aware on the regular price of the taxi going to Tbilisi (Liberty Square). So we took him a video for some evidence. On the half way of our travel going to hotel we talk to him about his meter (almost 70 GEL), because the meter is fast as gasoline meter. We told him that we will ask Police if his meter is legit or the real meter. Right away he closed the meter and we saw it its just a fake meter from mobile application. Then he talk a lot of excuses. To avoid this kind of scam, always vigilant and don’t trust someone right away.
I recommend to download this app on the app store “Bolt” - it’s a very useful app and very cheap it can take you to your destination from Airport to Hotel for just 20 to 30GEL. We used it on our Tbilisi travel for almost 20 times and all the drivers and nice.
