If you've got big travel plans this year, we've got a handy little device you'll want to pack in your suitcase. It's super affordable (only $10), super popular (with over 54,600 perfect reviews on Amazon) and super useful (can potentially save you hundreds in excess baggage fees).
The Etekcity Handheld Digital Luggage Scale on Amazon is an easy-to-use portable luggage scale made to perfectly fit into your suitcase. The scale itself is lightweight and features a high-quality LCD display, a temperature sensor, a rubber-textured handle for easy grip, and a high-accuracy sensor. It can hold up to 110 pounds, and anything more than that will get an error message. Given that most airlines only allow a maximum weight of 50 pounds for checked luggage, a 110-pound capacity is more than enough.

What Reviewers Are Saying
"When checking a bag you always want to know the weight so you don't get charged extra. Was super nervous when this scale weighed a bag at almost 49 pounds knowing that the weight limit was 50 pounds and scales can vary. Was holding my breath when it was put on the scale at the airport and the scale came up as 49 pounds! Relieved and thrilled that this luggage scale was accurate!"
"I was looking for a light weight luggage scale to ensure when returning from vacation, my luggage was not over weight and this works amazing. Super light weight and extremely accurate."
"I never regretted not knowing about an object as much as I regretted not knowing about this. It is a lifesaver. EVERYONE NEEDS THIS. This needs to be in every house hold. It's so easy to use and accurate. It's also small and very convenient. Now I no longer struggle or worry about luggage weight because of this small but mighty product."
