Power Bank Rules on Georgian Airways

New international (ICAO) rules apply from 27 March 2026, and European airlines follow them:

  • Each passenger can carry up to two power banks, in cabin baggage only, never in checked bags.
  • Power banks cannot be charged on board, and you cannot use them to charge phones or other devices during the flight.
  • Up to 100 Wh needs no approval; 100–160 Wh needs approval from the airline. Keep them within reach, not in the overhead bin.

Check-In at Tbilisi

Many flights from Tbilisi leave early in the morning or late at night. Arrive at least two hours before international flights, as passport control can be busy.

Families and Special Assistance

Infants under two travel on an adult’s lap, and pushchairs and car seats can usually be checked in free. Request wheelchairs and other special assistance at least 48 hours before the flight.

Visiting Georgia

Georgia is easy to visit and full of variety:

  • Tbilisi has an old town, sulphur baths and lively food scene.
  • Kakheti is the heart of Georgia’s ancient wine-making tradition.
  • Kazbegi and Svaneti offer dramatic Caucasus mountain scenery.
