Make the arrival point the deciding factor
Kutaisi city, Kutaisi I station, Rioni station and the international airport are separate places. Check where the selected train or road service actually stops and how you will reach the room or flight. A route labelled Tbilisi to Kutaisi may still leave a substantial transfer.
For rail, confirm Tbilisi Central, the train and useful Kutaisi-area station through the current schedule. For a coach or minibus, verify the terminal, luggage and drop-off rather than depending on an informal description.
Do not put a flight immediately after an unprotected city service. If the airport is the true destination, compare a direct airport transfer with going into Kutaisi first. Keep the arrival afternoon simple and save a regional cave or monastery outing for a full day.
Tell the accommodation the named station or stop, not merely that you are arriving from Tbilisi. That detail can change the transfer instructions and whether a late check-in is practical.
