Can you add checked baggage only for the return flight to or from Batumi, and what counts as carry-on with budget airlines?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 13 days ago
TL;DR
Yes, on many Batumi flights you can add checked baggage for just one leg, such as the return flight only. Carry-on is often not limited to a backpack: a soft bag is usually fine if it fits the airline sizer, and a larger cabin bag can often be purchased separately.
What the community said
Several travelers confirmed that checked baggage can be added just for the return leg: fly to Batumi with carry-on only, then pay for 1 checked suitcase on the way back.

If the airline has a small basic allowance, you can usually buy either a larger cabin bag or checked baggage, either for both directions or for only one flight segment.

Carry-on is often not limited to a backpack: travelers use a small soft bag as long as it fits the sizer. One practical trick is to bring a foldable soft bag on the outbound flight and use it on the return together with added checked baggage.
