How to fly with a dog to Batumi, Georgia (carrier size and airline pet rules)?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 12 days ago
TL;DR
Red Wings isn't overly strict about exact carrier dimensions — the main requirement is that the dog can stand without severe discomfort; a hard-sided carrier with a purchased seat works even for dogs around 6 kg if they're not badly cramped.

If traveling with multiple dogs, check with the airline in advance about the per-passenger pet limit and what happens if a dog's microchip is registered to another traveler's documents who already departed separately.

Based on one traveler's experience flying a dachshund with Red Wings in a hard-sided carrier with a paid extra seat: the airline isn't strict about exact carrier dimensions as long as the dog can stand, even with its head slightly lowered. If the carrier is too cramped and the dog is badly folded up, staff may object.

The carrier dimensions listed on Red Wings' website are geared toward very small pets (barely bigger than what would fit a hamster), so for a dog around 6 kg it's worth confirming actual accepted carrier sizes directly with the airline rather than relying solely on the website specs.
