Hi
Can anyone tell me if Corfu airport have scales that you can use to check the weight of your luggage before you check it in as last year we got charged for being slightly over. Thanks Sue |

We take a small digital scale with us so we can weigh each case as we pack it(both ways).
That we we get all the booze we can legally bring back without risking any excess charges. Just bought a second one from ebay last week to weigh things in my garage. £2.25 including postage from http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330709964200?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_3151wt_1166 |

We go away at least twice a year, and have invested in some from Lakeland, which are more expensive, but you don't have to struggle with holding the case until somebody else checks the weight. The Lakeland ones display the weight after you have weighed them, so that you don't have to struggle.
More than pay for themselves when compared to an extra 1kg of surcharges |

When returning home on Friday my suitcase was 1.3 kilos over my allowance and the lovely check-in girl didn't charge me excess.
 (I must buy a new set of scales as I might not be so lucky next time!)

Mine hold the weight display on as well.
They also have a tape measure built in so you can check your hand luggage is not too big
They even display the temperature!! |

Hi Kinninviekid,
Thanks for the link on the scales. My checked in case when packed to the hilt never does weigh over 20kg but I always worry about my hand luggage. I have a cabin size case and you really have to be careful on these charter flights, so it will be very useful for them. Schedule flights don't usually question the cases, even charter flights in Asia and Australia don't bother, it just seems to be the UK. Regards and thanks for the link. Pegasus.

That's what I like about EasyJet. You have to keep within the 20kg for the hold but hand luggage is only restricted by size. If you can lift it into the overhead locker it can go.

Hi Kernowman,
No problem lifting our cabin cases in the lockers, it just seems the charter flights are a lot different and have different luggage sizes according to who you fly with. Speak soon. Regards, Pegasus. |

Last time we went to Corfu our suitcase weighed under when going out. Exactly same in suitcase coming back - and it weighed over and they charged us £20. Must have been the damp absorbed from being beside the sea!

We have just bought those cases that are so much lighter!! When I got home I weighed my usual case
5KGs then I weighed the one I had just bought, 2KGs!! Now this made a massive difference to us, we are going to Tenerife this week and our Luggage Allowance is 15KGs Kx

Ah Kathy have you bought the sub zero g's then?? They are extremely light weight and this does make the difference when you are packing... I also love the stuRdy handle which is much larger and easier to use also.

Yes those are the ones, I have 4 wheels on mine and it is easy to just wheel it at my side, much easier in fact than pulling it ~~ totally worth the money.

WE also have a digital weighing scale which must save us £s in charges and I always take it with us.
Going out to Corfu Monarch weighed our hand luggage but not for the return journey. There used to be a some suitcase weighing scales at Corfu airport along the corridor between Departures and Arrivals but I do not know if they are there now. |
