Can I bring a backpack or laptop bag in addition to cabin baggage on flights departing Batumi?

One passenger reported that increasing the cabin-baggage allowance from 5 kg to 10 kg costs about RUB 1,500. This may be clearer and cheaper than paying an excess charge at the airport.

On a recent Azimut flight, a passenger reported that a handbag was allowed separately from the cabin-baggage allowance, while the main cabin bag was up to 5 kg. Approximate dimensions of 20 × 30 × 40 cm were mentioned, but these should be confirmed for the specific fare.

In practice, many airlines may require all visible items—including a backpack, handbag and shopping bag—to fit in one cabin-baggage sizer as a single allowance. If you have several items, pack them inside your main bag before check-in or boarding.

Passengers on a recent Red Wings departure from Batumi reported little visual enforcement of cabin-baggage limits. This can vary by flight and staff, however, so a backpack should not be assumed to be a guaranteed free second item.

A briefcase weighing up to 3 kg and fitting the permitted dimensions may sometimes be accepted in addition to the main cabin bag. Still, check the rules for your exact fare, as personal-item and cabin-baggage allowances differ by airline.

Cabin-bag weight may go unchecked if a bag does not look heavy, but this is not guaranteed. One traveler reported being asked for about RUB 14,000 for excess baggage at check-in, so it is safer not to rely on a visual-only check.
