Luggage Scales
Just like thousands of other holiday makers you too could save a lot of money when you buy a luggage scale. With bag allowances being ruthlessly enforced at the check-in desk all passengers are at risk of excess baggage charges. That is unless you’re one of the smart ones who has already bought a luggage scale! One kg over your case allowance could set you back at least £12. Why risk it?
What makes these charges grossly unfair is the fact that most airports own suitcase weighing scales are inaccurate and have proven to be so by UK’s Trading Standards (Inaccurate Airport Luggage Scales). This isn’t just a problem in the UK but also throughout the world. So remember to take your travel scale’s with you will definitely need them for the return journey home.
It is important that you choose the right type of scale to weigh your bags. Digital luggage scales are by far the most popular yet some people still seem to go for the old fashioned (and very inaccurate) mechanical type. Should you buy this type of travel scale then we can guarantee that you will have no confidence in their readings. A real waste of money.

How much can I expect to pay for a set scales?
Again, depending on whether you buy digital luggage scales or mechanical scales you can expect to pay between £4 and £21 for a set. If there was ever a product that could pay for itself over and over again then this is it. Why?
- They will stop you from over packing your bags and suitcases and therefore avoid exces baggage charges
- No more anxiety or panic attacks worrying whether your case is over the limit or not
