EXCESS BAGGAGE
hi im travelling with my son via emirates and since he is more than 2 yrs old each of us has baggage allowance of 30kg. packed all of our things and used the bathroom weighing scale, the square one? just to make sure we dont exceed alloted weight. do u think thats accurate enough??
only way.
Just step onto your scale carrying a suitcase, note the weight, then drop the suitcase and note weight again. The difference is the weight of your luggage. I do that with the dog and it works every time.
If you have a large bag of flour or rice (or both!) that haven't been opened, weigh them on the scale and check to the weight on the bag. I do that at my parents' home in North America - works quite well at calibrating the scale.
why don't you take your scale along to prove the point :p
my bathroom dosen't have a scale!
uksully, smile always does not work. Sometimes they leave 4-6 kgs but sometimes they will even charge for 2kg.
What always works is a smile, try and make up a conversation with the check in clerk. They won't even bother you :) I've been over by 4KG plenty of times and a nice chat always gets you away without paying. Also it depends where you are traveling from, I travel back and forth from London.
I bought the same weighing scale (square one) camry brand, and it's quite accurate. been using it for 3 years now. Just to make sure, allow 2kg less and be sure to adjust it to "0" before weighing. If it's packed, it will be better to bring extra Paper Bag or Plastic Bag, just in case.
It is not necessary that all those scales are giving you the accurate weight. To be safe it will be better to keep it 58kg this time and you can see what will be the difference between your scale and the one at the Airport check in counter.
yes. its accurate because i have tried it many times.if you want to check and validate its accuracy, weigh again your baggage in the airport weighing scale. just request airport staff to assist you. Have a nice trip.
If I were you, I'd make sure I was just under 60 kg, just to be safe.
