GEO: Batumi International Airport

33 Nikoloz Baratashvili Street, Batumi, Georgia

Batumi International Airport is a small airport that serves only seven fixed destinations - one domestic and six international - at the point of writing. Having said that, it also hosts seasonal chartered flights to many more cities throughout the year. It occupies a total area of 4,256 square metres.


As my BFF and I were going to catch an early flight to Minsk, Belarus, we had to wake up early. I forgot to take note of the metered taxi fare from Sky Tower Hotel to the airport, but I recall it was less than GEL 10.00 (~S$5.40).


When we reached the airport, the check-in counters weren't opened yet. 


Ural Airlines flies from Batumi to Moscow, Russia and vice versa twice a week.

The moment the counters were opened, we immediately went to one of them before anybody else
Before going to the immigration checkpoint, we noticed that the café was finally opened. Besides that, there's a 24/7 vending machine selling coffee, canned drinks and snacks.



Apart from looking at some of the goods offered at the duty free shop, there wasn't anything much to do.


That's the one and only lounge in the airport. I believe cash payment is possible to gain access to it.

The moment I came out of the toilet, the boarding process had already begun.

After enduring the long queue at immigration, I finally got my passport stamped. With that done, it was time to locate the transfer counter for the next flight, which marked my virgin experience of touching down at Chubu Centrair International Airport in Nagoya.

21-20 Tsubaki-cho, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan Bringing me a smile indeed, Smile Hotel Nagoya Shinkansenguchi (3*) lives up to its name with its prime location not far from the entrance to the bullet train platform of Nagoya station. For the price point, I'm not sure if there are any other hotels around offering free-flowing freshly grilled unagi (Japanese freshwater eel) for breakfast.
