Cheap flights from London to Batumi

November comes out cheapest on this route, and the months around it — September, October, December — sit close behind. Summer is missing from the priced window, which tells you where demand goes: the Black Sea season lifts fares and fills schedules, so if warm weather is the point of the trip, book early. Midweek departures from Heathrow or Gatwick are calmer than Friday and Sunday flights, and school holidays in the United Kingdom push prices up at every London airport. For the lowest fare, aim at late autumn and winter, and give yourself a comfortable connection window instead of a tight one.

No airline flies this route non-stop, so every ticket is a connecting one. Pegasus and FLYONE are the low-cost names you will see, and on those fares baggage, seat choice and food are extras — check what is included before you compare prices. Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa, Lufthansa City Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Air Dolomiti, Azerbaijan Airlines, Uzbekistan Airways and Arkia are the full-service options, where a checked bag and a meal are more often part of the fare. Which one wins depends on your connection: a single ticket with one carrier protects you if a flight is late, while mixing airlines on separate tickets does not.

Batumi has one airport, and it sits close to the city, so the transfer into the centre is short by the standards of most arrivals in Georgia. Taxis wait outside the terminal, and public transport covers the same short hop if you would rather not take a car. Late landings are worth planning for, since connections from London often arrive after dark and the taxi rank is the only thing moving. Have your accommodation address ready, and ask your host whether a pick-up is possible.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide which London airport you are leaving from, because Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City each give you a different connection.
• Check whether a checked bag is included, especially on Pegasus and FLYONE, where hand luggage only is the norm.
• Keep both legs on one ticket, or leave a generous gap if you are booking them separately.
• Confirm your passport and visa position for Georgia before you pay.
• Look at November and the months around it if price matters more than weather.
• Compare total journey time, not just departure time, because every option connects.
