How to add baggage cheaply for flights to or from Batumi, and what check-in rules should travelers know for low-cost airlines?

If your flight is delayed and you have delay insurance: in October 2026 participants advised keeping a record of the departures board, emails from the airline and your boarding passes. If the insurance was bought with the ticket as an add-on, the payout link usually arrives automatically after the flight; otherwise you will most likely need to file a claim. The saved evidence helps if the insurer miscalculates the length of the delay.

You can check your suitcase weight for free before check-in: in July 2026 a participant suggested walking up to any check-in counter that is not currently processing passengers and putting your bag on its scale.

If you are travelling by transfer rather than by plane: in July 2026 a participant booked one through a website, agreeing the time in advance and arranging the pickup point with the driver. The ticket was 2500, and luggage was paid for directly to the driver — a suitcase and a large backpack cost another 1500.

With regular airlines such as S7, participants in July 2026 had added baggage many times directly on the official website. In their experience, the more time left before departure, the cheaper it is, while adding baggage at the airport at the last minute is the most expensive option.

Wizz Air, participants wrote in July 2026, strictly requires online check-in: at the airport it is a paid service and expensive, sometimes more than the ticket itself. Bags are handed in separately at the bag drop counter, which every airline has. A participant also advised reading the carriage rules that airlines send along with the ticket.
