Traveling certainly isn’t what it used to be. With so many restrictions and extra fees, the entire flying experience is a pain. There is one scene that is all to common when I travel with my family – the infamous ‘luggage juggle’.<\/p>\n
Imagine, you are already out of breath trying to get to the counter in time. You have everything set, tickets\/passports in hand, you already checked in online and now you only need to drop off your bags. Then it happens. One bag is too heavy. We open all our suitcases right there on the airport floor for all to see in front of the service desk. Everything that you painstakingly packed the night before becomes an unorganized, jumbled mess and you try various combinations of moving items from one suitcase to another. Finally you get it ‘close enough’ and can get on the plane. You have no idea where anything is anymore but at least you got the weight right.<\/p>\n
So why not use a luggage scale? We’ve tried that as well. Standard luggage weights are bulky and not accurate. The handle is awkward to grab, the hook attachment keeps falling off, and no one can figure out exactly where the needle on the scale is pointing. Plus, it’s really only good for one way as it is too large and takes up too much room to actually bring it with you for the trip back.<\/p>\n
