A low-cost carrier (low-cost carrier: LCC) that is appreciated by those who want to travel at a low cost. However, there are still cases where the size and weight of luggage are severely restricted.
Especially at overseas airports where it is difficult to understand the language, I want to pass all checkpoints without making waves. If the weight of the luggage inadvertently exceeds the limit ... I'm horrified when I think about it.
"Luggage checker" is useful for such a trip. The compact bar shape can weigh up to 50 kg.
It can be purchased at home electronics mass retailers and online stores for around 1,000 yen. The one in the image was purchased at Rakuten Ichiba for 1,080 yen (including tax and shipping). There are many similar products, so please choose by price and design.
How to use
Pass the attached belt through the handle of the luggage you want to weigh, such as a suitcase, and fix it.
Turn on the power switch and check that the value is 0.0 kg.
Pull up the baggage together with the checker and wait for the numbers to stabilize.
Please note that all the load when pulling up should be applied to the checker. If you attach your hand to your luggage, you will not be able to measure the correct weight. It might be a little difficult with a big suitcase.
LCC carry-on size is affordable
Before departure, you can roughly weigh it with your scale at home, but there is no way to weigh it when you are traveling. It is a safe item to have one so that you do not feel regretful that you will be charged an additional fee when it is discovered that the weight limit has been exceeded when you leave it at the airport.
