Amazon's shoppers hail 'game changer' £12 travel gadget for Ryanair, TUI and EasyJet flyers who struggle to pack light

As plane tickets become ever cheaper, many airlines try to recuperate some money by imposing extremely strict luggage allowances on both hand and hold bags and suitcases. If you're an over packer like I am, it can be difficult to gauge whether you're over the weight limit, which is why a portable luggage scale is an absolute must for frequent flyers.

Luckily, a best seller on Amazon has been slashed in price, for a limited time. The Freetoo Portable Luggage Scale usually costs £19.99 but shoppers can today pick it up for just £11.99, that's a total saving of £8.

The portable luggage scale, which comes in three colours, features a large LCD screen that can be easily read, even in the dark. It is also said to be highly precise, not exceeding 0.01kg on either side. It only weighs 90g too, making it compact and lightweight, easy for travelling.

The Freetoo Portable Luggage Scale has racked up an impressive 4.6 average star-rating out five from over 42,640 reviews. Shoppers have commented on how 'easy to use' the nifty gadget is, as well as being 'accurate' and easy to travel with.

One Amazon shopper said: "Works great. Shows different weights and is clear to see. Very precise and the strap can fit around all handles for easy use. Great product." A second wrote: "This is a brilliant piece of kit that is very accurate (corresponded with airport scales). Ideal size to fit into luggage case for return journey to ensure you don't exceed your weight allowance. Would definitely highly recommend."
