Home Bargains is promoting a £3.99 must-have merchandise to cease you paying hefty airline fines

The budget retailer is selling a Travel Shop Digital Luggage Scale and Thermometer for just £3.99 – and it could save you a fortune on those expensive airline baggage charges

Let’s face it, stuffing all your garms into a case is by far the most tedious bit of jetting off. Trying to ninja pack for a cheeky getaway or a big ol’ holiday without tipping into meltdown territory? That’s a mission.

But before you lob your whole closet into the suitcase ‘just in case’, remember those pesky luggage limits are there to crash the party. So if you’re that savvy traveller squeezing everything into an overhead locker bag, you’ll need some proper packing prowess to dodge shelling out extra dosh.

Now, Home Bargains is offering up a game-changing Digital Luggage Scale and Thermometer for just £3.99 to sort you right out. The item blurb on their website reels you in: “Keep your travels hassle-free with the Travel Shop Digital Luggage Scale and Thermometer!”, reports the Liverpool Echo.

It boasts: “Weigh your bags accurately up to 50kg and check the temperature of your destination with its easy-read display – no more excess baggage fees or surprises!”.

And to stick it to those fines, it adds a cheeky: “Make sure you never exceed your luggage allowance and have to pay a fine.”

This nifty widget comes equipped with ‘zero’ and ‘tare’ features, meaning you can zero in on the exact weight of your haul up to a hefty 50Kg.

Plus, it’s got a built-in thermometer sporting an “easy read” screen to keep tabs on how sizzling your holibobs location is looking.

For power, it just needs one 3v lithium cell battery to get cracking.

So, how much can you load into a cabin case then?

Most flight firms let you tote a small piece along for free—that’s one that’ll snugly fit under the chair ahead. But if you’re eyeing up something bigger, be ready to cough up a bit more coin.

It’s also crucial to verify the specific weight limit for cabin suitcases. For many airlines, including Ryanair, this is 10kg, though for others it can be as low as 7kg.

For EasyJet, the maximum weight for a cabin suitcase is 15kg.

What’s the weight limit for hold luggage?

Hold luggage can typically weigh more than cabin luggage if you opt for a larger size. However, there’s usually an upper limit of around 20kg.

This can differ between airlines, so it’s essential to check before you jet off.
