Scores

Getting there
Bus 337 runs to the railway station and Liberty Square for 1 lari, cashless only (contactless bank card or Metromoney card), 45 to 75 minutes. Bolt costs 25 to 40 lari. Iranian cards do not work, so buy a Metromoney card with cash in the terminal.
Terminal and queues
Small terminal, but passport control is the issue: Iranians are nominally visa-free for 45 days yet refusals without explanation are regularly reported. Arriving by air is lower-risk than the land border. Carry a hotel booking, return ticket and cash.
Connections and transit
A few European low-cost routes, but no real hub. Most Iranians use Tbilisi as a destination.
Food, rest, SIM, prayer room
SIM kiosks (Magti, Silknet) and exchange in arrivals, a few cafés, limited seating. Halal food is scarce; no prayer room confirmed.
Delays and cancellations
No ranking found; treated as average.

What is good

  • 1 lari bus to the centre
  • Short walk from gate to exit

What is not

  • Risk of entry refusal for Iranian passports
  • Cashless bus with no Iranian card option

Tips

  • Print your hotel booking and return ticket and have at least a few hundred dollars in cash to show
  • Buy a Metromoney card from the kiosk before leaving the terminal

Plan the trip

How we score: Each criterion gets 1 to 5 from published figures, official pages and recent traveller reports; the note under each score says what it rests on. Nothing here is paid for and nothing comes from the airlines or airports themselves.
