How strict is hand luggage/carry-on weight and size checking on flights to Tbilisi?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 22 days ago
TL;DR
Baggage checks are inconsistent and depend on which airport staff shift is working — sometimes backpacks get weighed and forced into size calibrators, other times oversized carry-on passes without issue.

On a Turkish Airlines flight, only one small personal item (like a purse) was allowed free — a separate backpack or bag required an extra payment.

Flying from St. Petersburg with an oversized carry-on suitcase plus a large backpack per passenger caused no issues at check-in — everything went through smoothly.

On another flight, staff flagged just 1 kg overweight on a suitcase (even though the ticket allowance covered all 4 passengers) and forced a backpack into the size calibrator — this hadn't happened on previous flights with the same route.
