Finding a cheap flight is an art any traveler can master. With the right techniques you can pay 50–70% less for a flight — whether from Kutaisi to Europe or from Tbilisi to any destination in the world. This guide explains how the cheap flight calendar works, which days have the lowest prices, and how to catch the “hidden” discounts that others miss.
What is the cheap flight calendar?
It is a special search tool that shows the flight price for every day of the month at once. Instead of searching each date separately, you see a price “map” of the whole month — and instantly find the cheapest day.
Who should use the calendar: anyone flexible with dates. Often departing 1–2 days earlier or later cuts the price by 30–50%.
Try it — the Flygeorgia.ge flight calendar is one of the most simplified versions for the Georgian market.
Which days of the week are cheapest?
Over 10 years of airline research has revealed clear patterns:
- Tuesday and Thursday — the cheapest departure days (15–25% less)
- Sunday — often good for the return
- Friday + Sunday + Monday morning — the most expensive (business and weekend travelers)
Best time to buy: Tuesday morning — airlines refresh prices then and competition begins.
How far in advance should I book?
There is no single answer — it depends on the destination:
- Europe (from Kutaisi, Wizz Air): 6–12 weeks ahead
- Europe (from Tbilisi, traditional): 8–16 weeks ahead
- USA: 16–24 weeks ahead
- Asia: 12–20 weeks ahead
- Caribbean, Egypt: 8–14 weeks ahead
Note: last-minute buying is a myth. In reality, the price often doubles within 2 weeks of the date.
10 Ways to Find a Cheap Ticket
- Use the calendar view. See a whole month’s prices in one window.
- Fly from Kutaisi. Wizz Air is often 50–70% cheaper than from Tbilisi. Details — Wizz Air tickets.
- Avoid the city weekend. Tuesday–Thursday — prices 20–30% lower.
- Alternative airports. Milan → Bergamo. London → Stansted. Paris → Beauvais. Often 50% cheaper than the main airport.
- The “hidden city” technique. Buy a ticket to a farther city, then stay in the connecting city. Note: doesn’t work with checked baggage.
- One-way tickets. On some routes, buying each direction separately is cheaper.
- Separate price for children. Under 12 — a 25–30% discount on Wizz Air.
- Watch for “error fares.” Airlines often publish prices by mistake. Secret Flying, FareDrop — well-known trackers.
- Subscribe to brand newsletters. Wizz Air, Pegasus, Turkish Airlines — Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals — 30–50% off.
- Book in incognito mode. Some consider it a myth, but prices really do often change based on so-called “tracked” habits.
Hidden Flight Costs — What to Watch For
A €50 ticket often becomes €150 if you don’t count the hidden costs:
- Checked baggage: €25–50 (Wizz Air, Ryanair, Pegasus)
- Cabin bag 10 kg: €12–25 on Wizz Air — charged separately
- Seat selection: €8–15
- Airport check-in: €35–40 (online — free)
- Credit card fee: 2–4%
- Insurance: €15–30
- Transfer from an alternative airport: €10–30

- October–November: best price for cold-weather cities

Does incognito mode really work?
Not fully confirmed, but searching with cleared cookies sometimes makes a 5–10% difference. You have nothing to lose.
What is “skiplagging”?
