Can you pack liquids and electronics in checked baggage when flying out of Batumi Airport?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 6 days ago
TL;DR
Travelers report that a checked suitcase with 1 liter of liquid in a plastic bottle was accepted on flights from Batumi if packed carefully. Security seemed more focused on water in carry-on bags, while checked luggage screening mainly involved a verbal question about electronics.
What the community said
In the newest report, travelers said a power bank had been transported inside checked luggage without issues. Liquids, however, were considered riskier because cabin pressure changes during the flight may deform or leak the container.

Another traveler said checked bags were handed over immediately at the counter and were not opened in front of passengers. Staff only asked whether there was electronics inside, the whole process took about 10–15 minutes, and only excess water from carry-on luggage was confiscated.

One specific example involved a Batumi departure on Azimut: passengers checked in a suitcase containing 1 liter of liquid in a plastic bottle. It was wrapped in a regular plastic bag and cushioned with clothes inside the suitcase, and no one questioned it during departure.
