Bag weight
Checked case: 18.2 kg / 23 kg allowance (79%). At current rate you have 4.8 kg left for remaining items.
How the Packing Weight Tracker works
- Weigh the empty bag first and enter it. A hard case can be a fifth of the allowance before anything goes in.
- Add items with weights as you pack, rather than weighing the whole bag at the end and having to unpack.
- Watch the heaviest items list. Removing one 1.4 kg item beats removing twenty small ones.
FAQ
Does the bag itself count?
Yes. The allowance is total weight, and a hard-shell case can weigh 4 to 5 kg empty — a fifth of a typical checked allowance before you pack anything.
What happens if I am over?
Excess baggage fees are typically charged per kilogram and are high, particularly at the airport rather than pre-paid. Some airlines will refuse a bag over a hard maximum regardless of payment.
Does cabin baggage get weighed?
It depends on the airline, and enforcement varies from never to always. Low-cost carriers weigh far more consistently, and the limits are often much lower than travellers expect.
