| One of the
very best travel accessories
available nowadays is a digital luggage
scale! Using one will eliminate the
guesswork when it comes overweight
luggage. Most domestic and international carriers now
limit luggage to 50 pounds each and they
WILL weigh each bag at check-in. Unless
you are prepared to open and juggle
items from one suitcase to the next in
an effort to "balance" out the bags - or
carry on (or worse to discard) a few
items, you could be stuck with huge
overweight charges... You can eliminate
that worry (especially when filling your
bags with souvenirs and other treasures)
by carrying a small, very lightweight
digital luggage scale with you in your
carry-on!
There are
several on the market... Below is a corresponding link to
LL Bean, with good pricing on a scale (we do not endorse
any seller or have any relationship with
them by the way!). It can also be
purchased by PHONE from LL Bean as item
# 56623. They can be reached at
800-441-5713.
This model
will weigh up to 100 lbs, making it
ideal for international flights where
the weight limit may still be as high as 70
pounds per bag. To use, you simply
switch it on, attach the snap-buckle to
your bag handle, set it for "pounds" and
lift the entire assembly. As soon as the reading
stabilizes in a few seconds, the scale
beeps and holds the reading in memory in
its LCD display. Under 50 pounds? You're
all set! All-in-all, a VERY useful and
stress-reducing device for about
$25. We highly recommend one!
