30 August 2026 – recent experience at Kutaisi Airport: it has been refurbished (larger, more pleasant) and if you’re flying with Wizz Air, you’ve already printed your boarding pass online and don’t have any luggage to check in, you DO NOT NEED to go to the check-in desk for a paper boarding pass, but can proceed straight to the baggage check (to the left of the entrance).
With Fly One Armenia in Yerevan, nobody asked us for a paper boarding pass either; it was enough to have it in digital form on the app.
