TL;DR
Batumi airport Wi-Fi is unreliable. Buy a small roaming package before departure (e.g. 0.5 GB for ~200 RUB with Megafon) — enough to call a taxi on arrival.

You can buy a local SIM card at Batumi airport, but prices are noticeably higher than in the city. It's better to get a SIM in town and rely on roaming or a local's hotspot for the first few minutes.
