Airlines strictly control the weight of luggage, and overweight costs a passenger quite a lot. Therefore, it is much more reasonable to weigh all the bags you have before departure, not in a rush. It is nice to know that your luggage will be checked quickly and without unpleasant surprises.
If during the check-in you understand that you have an overweight, there will be three ways to solve this problem:
- Get rid of extra luggage (quite a tough decision);
- Redistribute excess weight on other bags (takes a lot of time and is really annoying, especially if you are in a hurry);
- Pay extras (hey. it's not pleasant at all!).
As you can see, neither of the three ways is pleasant. So if you want to reduce the risk of overweight to zero, you need to buy a special luggage scale. Their cost is approximately equal to one overweight charge, so the purchase is paid off :). In this article we talk about the Digital Color Display Luggage Scale from the Swiss company Lifetrons.
The main advantages of these scales:
- Small size. Size matters when you travel, especially by plane. These scales are smaller than your palm and do not take up much space in your bag. The size is 125 x 38 x 64mm;
- Lightweight, 85 grams only.
- Ergonomic shape designed specially for weighing heavy luggage;
- Large illuminated display for easy viewing;
- A sling with a hook allows you to hang the bag in a second. Just loop, hook and lift;
- Measures in kilograms and pounds;
- Weighs up to 50kg/110lbs;
- Power saving with auto off;
- Makes a buzz with a final reading;
- Has an onscreen overweight and low battery indicator.
The scales have a great design. They are made of a non-slip rubberized material which is easy to hold.
There are plenty of offers from different firms, choose what suits you for price and quality.
We wish you great journeys without delays at check-in!
