One of the biggest budget-busters on an airline flight is the extra fee for overweight baggage. Our family nearly always flies on a budget airline, so we have to be strategic about packing our suitcases. I’m so excited to finally have a luggage scale to ensure we’re within the guidelines!
More than once, I’ve been known to unzip the suitcase and rearrange our dirty clothes, shoes, or souvenirs. We’ve had to prioritize our luggage contents, throwing away unnecessary items in order to stay within the weight limits. When you fly a budget airline, they often tack on hefty fees for an overlimit bag. This digital luggage scale is less than $10 on Amazon, weighing in at a small fraction of the baggage fee! No more scrambling on the airport floor, trying to put on all of your bulkiest clothes and shoes.
It’s so easy to use. Just power it on, slip the strap over the suitcase handle, secure the metal tab, and lift.
The required battery is already included; just make sure you remove the small plastic piece that preserves battery life.
The small scale even comes with its own carrying pouch! It’s tiny and useful. What a perfect gift for the travel bug on your gift list!
This would be perfect for me! I am often biting my fingernails at the train station because my bags are always busting at the seams. 😉

I bought one of these because who wants to be that person who is flinging clothes around the airport terminal, trying to re-pack their bags and make the weight limit. Stressful!!
Such a useful gadget. So cost effective to get with how expensive overweight baggage charges are these days
