Here's what nobody tells you about smaller flag carriers like Georgian Airways: the pet rules exist, they are just scattered between the conditions of carriage and the special services page. Mochi and I have flown enough of these routes to know that the container is where the argument happens. Measure the carrier, photograph it next to a tape measure, and bring that photo to the desk.

Georgian Airways's pet policy splits into cabin and cargo. This page summarizes the weight limits, fees, brachycephalic-breed restrictions, and carrier specifications for both modes — sourced from the airline's official pet pages.

Frequently asked

What is the cabin weight limit on Georgian Airways?
In the cabin, your pet plus its carrier must not exceed 8 kg.
What if my flight is delayed past my health certificate validity?
If the certificate window expires before you board, you'll need a re-issue. Build a 1-2 day buffer between the cert date and departure to absorb minor delays.
What happens if I forget a document?
At the destination airport: at best, an extended inspection while you produce backup; at worst, the pet is held in quarantine or returned to origin at your cost. Bring printed copies.
Georgian Airways quotes pet charges against the weight of the container with the animal inside, and per flight segment, so a single connection can change the total. Ask for the figure on every leg before booking, in writing. Mochi judges the queue length, not me. Pawgo can turn the route into a personalized plan so the segments, the crate and the paperwork all get counted together.
