Balanzza Ergonomic Digital Compact Luggage Scale – $17.75

balanzza-luggage-scale2
With airlines today charging outrageous fees for overweight bags, having something like the Balanzza Ergonomic Digital Compact Luggage Scale is definitely worth it. The Balanzza scale can handle bags up to 100 pounds and attaches to you luggage via a strap rather than a hook that can damage your bags. Easier to lift than most other scales because it has no handle- you can lift it with two hands if you need to. The digital readout is large and easy to read and it switches from lbs to kg easily. It beeps when it has a reading and freezes on the highest weight recorded.

  1. I found a device on a website a few months ago. When you’re flying, you HANG IT OVER YOUR SEAT and it keeps your head locked in place so that you can sleep without your head bobbing or rolling. This was NOT “the Aerosleeper”. Now I can’t find it. ANY help finding this item would be so greatly appreciated I can’t even tell you.
