Never Pay Unexpected Baggage Fees Again When Traveling


                              I received a sample of a digital luggage scale.

  My family is traveling this month to New York for parents weekend at the Merchant Marine Academy. This is my son's first year at the Academy and we are so excited to check out the Academy. My son has a list of items that he would like me to bring to him, most of it is healthy food. That boy is always hungry. I would normally mail the items to him but since we are traveling there, I will take advantage of saving money on shipping costs. I will also be bringing 20 boxes of protein bars to the academy for the Cookie Cafe next month. Sure, I could just ship the heavy protein bars but again, I want to save money on shipping costs. The trip is already costing us a lot of money so saving money by not shipping items is always a good thing. I am glad that person in charge of the Cookie Cafe said that we could bring the goodies with us for parents week as they can store them until next month. I know it is a cookie event for the students but they also requested healthy items that the kids can take back to their room for snacks. Since I am an ambassador for Genuine Health, I have plenty of protein bars to bring. Now I just have to make sure my suitcase does not weigh more than 50 pounds. I am glad that I have my Digital Luggage Scale to check the weight before we get to the airport. Sure I could use a regular scale to weight my suitcase but I don't have one because I don't weigh myself anymore.



Never rearrange your luggage at check-in or pay unexpected baggage fees again!


Weighs up to 110 lbs 

  My Voyager Digital Luggage Scale is also great for when I travel to blogger conferences for bringing back all my swag. This scale is small enough to tuck into the front pocket of my suitcase. This scale weighs items up to 110 pounds and is easy to read too. This awesome luggage scale beeps too!  I love that it shuts off after 20 seconds so it does not waste the battery. When I do need to replace the battery it uses one small Lithium Battery

  I am glad that I have this luggage scale as all these protein bars sure do weigh a lot! I have to also pack other food items for my son. Sure I could distribute the items between all the suitcases that we will be bringing but I want to keep all the food items in one suitcase as we are just paying to check one suitcase. We are checking all the food items as I don't want to risk having any of it taken away at security. I remember my last trip and having security swipe all my food items and that was a big hassle. 


Save time and money now with this easy-to-use travel scale.


 While we are on the subject of traveling smart, you need to check out how to fit more in your suitcase with these Packing Cubes. My boys love using these Packing Cubes when they have to share a suitcase when we travel.

I always use a travel scale! There is nothing worse than having to re-pack your bags at the last minute in the airport because one of them is overweight. And yes - I learned that lesson the hard way. Everyone should have a luggage scale!

Oh I need that scale! Sometimes could be challenging to travel with only one suitcase and fit all. This is a great gadget for us travelers. Buying one this weekend.

I've never had to fly anywhere without my mom packing for me. I'm going to be out of my element if I ever fly as an adult.

It is great that it beeps. I need a new one since I lost mine. Ugh, painful move outs! Thanks for the reminder!

Now those scales look like such a great idea, I love how easy to read and understand they seem to be. They are definitely going to make travelling easier.

I also have this! :) Whenever I go on trips I also bring it with me. So I can make sure that after buying those souvenirs I'm still within my baggage limit.

This scale looks very great, I generally travel with less luggage but sometimes the worse had happened.This is really handy, would totally buy this before my next trip.

Like the idea of that scale which you are using. I might buy that, if it is available.We generally travel with less baggage, I dunno whether we have that kind of fee or not. These tips will sure come in handy.

These are great travel tools for travelers who have strict weight limits. I've suggested these to people before and its a good idea for the classic overpackers.

That Voyager Digital Luggage Scale is a great product many travelers would love to have. This will surely come in handy especially of you are traveling to places with strict baggage weight rules.

Vanessa Diaz said...

I so need to get me one of those because I am the queen of having to take stuff out of my luggage at the airport to not have to pay more. I also always pack so much.

Hannah Marie said...

Wow, this is really handy. I can bring it anywhere with me. Now I won't have to use a bulky weighing scale just to weigh my luggage.

Rupy said...

This is a great gadget and also very handy. Thanks for sharing.

Having this digital weighing scale makes my packing an easy task. I won't have to bring a lot of stuff with me then end up paying extra.

Terri Beavers said...

I don't think I could travel without my weighing scale. I don't like unespected fees so I make sure to know how much I've packed ahead of time.

David Elliott said...

I have done a little bit of traveling post them putting the weight amounts on carryons and charging more for checked in luggage. But most of my traveling was before. Having that digital scale seems like it would be a lifesaver.

Dalene Ekirapa said...

I haven't done any overseas travel yet but I hear that luggage tends to bring issues for many so for sure, this is such an awesome tip to bring along a weighing scale.

This sounds like a great product for people who travel often and don't want to pay extra fees. I don't travel often but I think this would be a great idea to have on hand for when we do.

You can use a travel-friendly yoga bag . You will get separate pockets to keep your items, keys, mobiles, and other things separately. Also, you can use them side by side or as a backpack.
