Whether you have a layover, overnight sleepover or you are just quickly passing through, our Kutaisi Airport Guide is a great place to start planning your visit.  

The seats at the airport are one person only, and are especially designed so that only one person can fit in a sitting upright position. You cannot lay down or take a comfortable sleeping position in the chairs as they are not that big… – a guest reviewer

KUT Airport Overview

Kutaisi Airport (code: KUT) is a small, quiet and friendly single-terminal served by few flights.

Sleeping in Kutaisi Airport

Reviewers described their overnight experience as pleasant and restful. Plenty of deep, comfortable chairs are in the terminal, the lights are soft and dimmed at night, and the airport staff is amiable and accommodating. Seems like the airport was designed with sleeping passengers in mind! One reviewer tells us an area near the lounges has 9-12 power outlets, making it convenient for sleeping. For uninterrupted sleep, there are hotels near the airport. See Airport Hotels in the guide below.

Security & Safety

Sleeping in any airport can include a certain level of risk, especially when travelling alone. It’s important to take certain precautions to ensure your safety and the security of your valuables. Here are a few tips:

  • Safety First. It’s a good idea to know where the security office is located and look for video cameras where you plan to sleep. You can also ask the security personnel for advice on the safest places to spend the night.
  • Don’t Seclude Yourself. If you’re travelling alone, we recommend you stay near other travellers or close to security. This will help you feel more secure and deter potential thieves.
  • Hide Your Valuables. It’s also important to hide your valuables. Don’t leave them out in plain view, as this could make you a target for theft. Additionally, if you are a deep sleeper, you may want to padlock your bag to something or sleep with your bag up against a wall to make it harder for someone to access zippers and pockets. We have received reports of sleepers who woke up without their phones and laptop bags. The travellers were left with just their headphones and laptop bag strap.
  • Stay Alert. It’s best to stay alert and awake if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages to help you stay awake, and remember that you can always catch up on sleep during your flight. These simple precautions can help you enjoy a safe night at the airport.
