We may live in an era of cheap air travel, but try telling that to suitcases.

You feel obliged to pack them until they are fit to burst - only to regret it when the person at the check-in desk hits you with an excess baggage charge.

EasyJet for example currently charge £7 for every kilo a suitcase is over the baggage allowance.

Ryanair charge £12 for every extra kilo.

So what's the solution?

Well, I have been known to pick up a suitcase and then tell anyone within earshot how much it weighs. Unfortunately, I've also been known to be wrong.

I've also tried balancing a case on my bathroom scales while peering over it to see if I can still see the readout - with mixed results.

But why not take the guesswork, the worry and those excess baggage charges away altogether by investing in the Balanzza Digital Luggage Scales.

Simply attach the strap to your suitcase and lift. Wait for the beep and put the case back down. The luggage scales will then tell you exactly what your suitcase weighs.

Result? No more excess baggage charges.

And being both lightweight and portable, you can slip them in a suitcase so you can weigh your case coming back too.

The perfect gift for the someone who has everything - and gets caught out every time trying to take it on holiday with them.

The Balanzza Digital Luggage Scales are available online for £19.99 from IWOOT.
