Airport arrival

Before departure

• Guests receive host contact information, the apartment address, navigation, self check-in instructions, and arrival guidance.
• Orange Cat can also offer a Georgian Magti eSIM option for guests who want strong local mobile Internet during the stay.
• Nothing requires meeting the host at the airport.

After landing

• The offered Magti eSIM is activated after arrival in Georgia, not at home before departure.
• Activation requires Magti network coverage and active Internet, so guests may need temporary roaming or airport Wi-Fi first.
• This option takes a little more effort, but many guests find it worth it because Magti coverage across Georgia is strong.
• If a guest prefers not to use the offered eSIM option, arrival is still straightforward. The point is to make first-arrival connectivity easier, not mandatory.

Cash and exchange

• The hosts recommend exchanging only a small amount of cash at the airport.
• About 50 to 100 US dollars is usually enough for immediate arrival needs.
• Cash should be exchanged only at a legal airport exchange point.
• There is little reason to exchange a large amount immediately after landing, because city rates are usually better.

Airport to Orange Cat

• The safe default is an official airport taxi.
• Guests do not need to install local apps, register an account, and attach a bank card immediately after a flight unless they want to.
• Official taxi desks such as Yandex or Bolt, or clearly branded official airport taxis, are preferable to informal offers from drivers approaching passengers directly.
• This may cost a little more, but the first 30 minutes in a new country are not the right moment to save a small amount and take unnecessary risk.
• The drive usually takes about 25 to 40 minutes depending on traffic.

First evening logic

Orange Cat is prepared so that a guest can arrive, enter, get online, and spend the first evening normally without first solving city logistics or running immediately to a supermarket.

• Wi-Fi is already working.
• Water, ice, and basic first-evening essentials are already in place.
• Self check-in remains viable even late at night or after a delayed flight.

Planning a stay?

Tell the hosts who is travelling, the dates, and whether the guest is likely to arrive from the airport late at night or with special first-arrival needs.
