Flight**: Although flights are available, they are time-consuming due to airport procedures, and often not worth the time compared to other options.

Timing Matters**:

For buses and trains, aim to travel in the morning to avoid delays and reach Tbilisi by early evening. Keep in mind that travel times can vary due to road conditions or train schedules.

Luggage Considerations**:

For bus and train travel, check the luggage policies ahead of time. Generally, you can bring one large suitcase and a carry-on. Pack essentials in your carry-on, as luggage handling may not be as careful.
