Where can I buy a handheld weighing scale for check in luggage. Don't want to through the stuff in the airport . Some airlines are very strict about this.
Thanks.
Hi,
Interdiscount have them, I've had one for a few years and it still works fine.
Thank you! appreciate your response.
This is the model: http://www.interdiscount.ch/idshop/p...age/detail.jsf
The handle on top is a decent size for lifting 20kg cases comfortably.
I accidentally bought too many of these:
if you want one, let me know. 10chfs. can also post if easier than meeting in zh.
(weighs up to 50kgs and also has a g mode if you need to weigh smaller things)
I tend to always travel with one kind or another.
Some luggage does not have suitable handle for the hook. So I added some strong string to my luggage handle, so I can use the hook of the weighing scale. If you need string, think about what you wrap your newspapers in for recycling, double it up if necessary
So whenever I needed to weigh my luggage, I weigh myself on a regular scale while carrying the luggage, and then subtract my weight. Simple no?
Well yes- but most holiday accom does not have scales- so if you buy a few bits and pieces while there- how do you check the weight. We have one of these hook things- great.
Don't we all have bathroom scales at home? Even if 'too small' there are easy answers.
The trouble is that they aren't particularly accurate - even if they're good to within 1% (which I seriously doubt), that's around 1kg for person + bag vs 0.2kg for just the bag.
You could assume they're linear and therefore only the 20kg delta matters - but balancing with bag in hand isn't likely to help that theory.
One mistake on a low-cost flight will pay for several of the luggage scales.
Nope.
We do have a luggage scale from interdiscount that we use for holidays though.
