BAH-TBS (3h 5m) Airbus 320-214 ETD: 1.30am (GMT + 3)  ETA: 5 .35am (GMT + 4) I've always loved that feeling of excitement mixed with a bit of apprehension whenever I'm about to visit a new country.

Without thinking twice, I booked the flight to that country in the Caucasus region.

It appears that the managing organisation also offers a limousine service to and from the airport.
