TL;DR
Monitor Batumi train tickets on the official booking site as soon as sales open: economy class can sell out almost immediately, while higher classes often still have seats. If economy is gone, you may still be able to upgrade by paying extra.
From a recent traveler’s experience, seats were still available about 2 weeks before departure, but mainly in the more expensive class. Economy was almost fully sold out on the day sales opened, so it’s best to book it immediately.
A practical tip is to track tickets directly on the railway booking website. That makes it easier to see real availability and catch the sales opening.
If the cheaper fare is gone, passengers may still be able to pay extra and move to a higher class. According to traveler reports, some people do exactly that when economy sells out.
