These luggage scales are ideal to confirm, before you leave for your holiday, if the size and weight of your luggage fits within the required restrictions set by the airline. This could be for hand luggage (the tape measure is long enough to measure the maximum length of any hand luggage) or for hold luggage (it can weigh up to 32kg - the usual max is between 15-20kg). Don't get caught with the cost of excess baggage at check in ever again.
