Can you buy a SIM card at Tbilisi Airport, and is it cheaper than using an eSIM or buying one in the city?

Yes, travelers often look at buying a SIM card right at Tbilisi Airport, including Magti. Based on the discussion, a typical eSIM reference point for non-residents is about €11 for 15 days with 10–15 GB, and the airport’s free Wi‑Fi can be enough initially, so you may not need a local SIM immediately after landing.

Should travelers buy an eSIM for Tbilisi online before arrival or get one locally in Georgia?

Yes, you can buy a Georgia eSIM online before landing using apps like Airalo, Nomad, or Holafly if your phone supports eSIM. If you also want a local number or in-person help, it’s often better to get an eSIM or regular SIM from Magti, Silknet, or Cellfie after arriving in Tbilisi.

Which SIM card in Tbilisi is best for cheap mobile data, and how do you set up hotspot and roaming?

The operators mentioned most often are Magti and Georgian Beeline. If you also need data in Armenia, it’s practical to enable roaming and buy a package in the Magti app while still in Tbilisi; if Personal Hotspot is missing on iPhone with Beeline, you usually need to check and enter the carrier APN settings.
