Luggage scales are a tool used to measure the weight of your luggage. Because airports restrict the weight of your luggage when you go through customs you have to adhere to precise rules and regulations, if your luggage is over weight or over size you will have to pay a hefty fine to take it on board or the alternative is to leave your belongings behind in the airport never to see them again.

Luggage scales are a simple yet effective handheld device that accurately report how much each bag weighs. By weighing your luggage you can be safe in the knowledge that you won’t get any nasty fines or unwelcome suprises when going through the airport.

The regulations state that your luggage should be no more than 25 kilos in weight. This is broken down into 5kg for hand luggage and 20kg for everything else. Some airlines may have slightly different rules and regulations so be sure when booking your flight to find out from the travel agent exact numbers and wiegh your bags accordingly to save any hassle when checking in at the airport.
