From messages by 3 participants in 1 source · Last activity: 58 days ago

TL;DR

In late July 2026 a Red Wings passenger flying out of Batumi paid about 45 GEL for each extra kilogram of baggage — a couple of kilos over the limit were not waived. Other participants said staff do not always pick on overweight bags, but it is not something to count on. On the same departure, bottled water, cola and other drinks were thrown away during random full bag checks.

A couple of kilos are not waived: in late July 2026 a Red Wings passenger departing Batumi was not let off for being a couple of kilos over — she had to pay. She said she had flown this airline before without problems, but this time the check-in desk was stricter.

Checks are not always strict: other participants in the same discussion (July 2026) noted that check-in staff do not pick on overweight bags every time and nobody weighs every 200 grams. Overweight is a question of paying extra, not of safety: you simply pay for the extra kilos.

Bottled liquids: on a Batumi departure in late July 2026 there were random full bag checks, and bottled water, cola and other drinks were thrown away. Finish or discard drinks before security.

Takeaway from the discussion: even one extra kilogram can cost money, so if your suitcase is close to the limit, weigh it in advance and buy extra baggage or cabin allowance if needed. In August 2026 a traveler worried about one extra kilo did exactly that and bought additional cabin baggage.
