TL;DR
Yes, travelers often look at buying a SIM card right at Tbilisi Airport, including Magti. Based on the discussion, a typical eSIM reference point for non-residents is about €11 for 15 days with 10–15 GB, and the airport’s free Wi‑Fi can be enough initially, so you may not need a local SIM immediately after landing.

If you only need data for a trip, a rough benchmark for non-residents is an eSIM at about €11 for 15 days with 10–15 GB. That price is a useful reference point when comparing airport and city options in Tbilisi.

Buying a SIM immediately after arrival is not always necessary if you just need internet to order a taxi, send messages, or check directions: travelers often look for the free Wi‑Fi at Tbilisi Airport first and only then decide whether they need a local SIM.
