At Kutaisi Airport, you usually do not need to find a separate bus station: Georgian Bus and Metro Georgia normally board right outside the terminal exit near arrivals. After collecting your luggage, look for the operator’s sign right outside.

From Batumi, departure is not from the airport but from a city pickup point shown on your ticket or booking message. Georgian Bus and Metro Georgia may use different Batumi stops depending on the service, so the booking confirmation is more reliable than guessing the location.

These are usually not old-style cramped marshrutkas: on popular departures operators often use full-size intercity coaches with luggage storage and air-conditioning, while lower-demand runs may use comfortable minibuses. There is normally space for suitcases, but in high season it is smart to arrive early.
