Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a luggage scale for travel?
Yes — if you're checking a bag. Excess baggage fees on international routes can be $20–$50 per kilogram over the limit. A digital luggage scale costs under $20 and pays for itself on the first trip. Most Australian airlines allow 23kg for economy checked baggage.
What luggage accessories are essential for international travel?
The three most important: a TSA-approved combination lock for checked luggage, a luggage scale to avoid excess fees, and a distinctive luggage tag or strap to identify your bag on the carousel. Everything else is useful but optional.
