Buy a Travel Scale
Baggage fees seem to increase every year. Also, it is the one fee you never intend on paying. However, there is a simple solution to protect oneself from this, buy a travel scale. They are small and easy to use. You never have to worry whether the airport has a scale for you. It can also alleviate the stress of checking in for your flight. You won’t have that embarrassing moment where everyone can see your dirty laundry as you frantically move items from your checked bag to your carry on. Just recently, I went on a trip to China with 40 amazing people. As we were standing in line for our tickets, I took out my scale to measure my bag one more time. A few of these amazing people took notice, and it started a frenzy. Per their request, here are a few travel scales worth mentioning.
Tarriss Jetsetter Digital Luggage Scale
This first scale is one I can personally recommend. As you may have guessed, this is that famed travel scale from my China trip. I have used it for three different trips now. It has never let me down and is still going strong. If you are an Amazon Prime member, it is on sale right now for $10.97. It can weigh up to 110 pounds and comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and lifetime warranty. Personally, my favorite feature is the auto shut-off. You never have to worry about leaving it on and the battery running out. It also allows you to measure in different units. This can be very helpful when you are flying outside of the United States.
Etekcity Digital Hanging Luggage Scale
This next scale is Amazon’s number 1 best seller. It has almost 3,000 reviews with an average of 4.5 stars. I think that alone makes it worth mentioning. It comes with the same bells and whistles as the Tariss travel scale. Except, this scale has rubber paint technology and a temperature sensor. The rubber paint makes for a comforting, tight grip. And, the temperature sensor lets you know if your luggage is too hot or too cold. Talk about fancy. This one is on sale as well for Prime members at the price of $9.99. The only downside to this scale is the warranty. You only get a one year warranty for this product.
MagicPro Digital Hanging Luggage Scale
This last scale is what I would call a deal. It is literally two for the price of one. It is currently priced at $13.99 for the package. If you split it with a friend, that will bring the price down to $7. Talk about a steal of a deal. This travel scale is very similar to the Etekcity scale. That means it’s fancy. However, it also includes the 100%, no questions asked satisfaction guarantee of the Tariss scale. It’s the best of both worlds. I don’t think you can go wrong buying this one or one of the other two scales above.
