What TBS to WAW looks like
The TBS to WAW sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Tbilisi TBS to Warsaw WAW is a medium haul sector of 2,148 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 2,148 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 3h 15m.
Tbilisi TBS is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 72 scheduled destinations and 84 departures a day. Warsaw WAW has 165 destinations and 327.5 departures a day.
Warsaw carries about 3.9 times the departures of Tbilisi, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Warsaw runs 3 hours behind of Tbilisi in January and 2 hours behind in July, because the two ends do not change their clocks together.
The pair sits inside Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 14 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.

When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 35 of them join TBS to WAW.
| Connecting at | TBS to hub, flights a day | Hub to WAW, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yerevan EVN | 1 | 1.29 | 2,405 | 5h 07m |
| Riga RIX | 0.71 | 3.86 | 2,823 | 5h 43m |
| Belgrade BEG | 0.71 | 1.86 | 2,837 | 5h 53m |
| Baku GYD | 7.29 | 0.71 | 3,006 | 5h 55m |
| Istanbul IST | 6.71 | 3.43 | 2,696 | 5h 56m |
| Vienna VIE | 0.86 | 7.57 | 2,882 | 6h 02m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at TBS in the afternoon actually flies on.
35 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Yerevan EVN, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through EVN the routing covers 2,405 km against the 2,148 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 07m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 52m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Riga RIX at 5h 43m and Belgrade BEG at 5h 53m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Tbilisi, Yerevan EVN is 176 km away by great circle and carries 82 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Warsaw, Krakow KRK is 246 km away by great circle and carries 135 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for TBS to WAW in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
