How to use a scale reading
- Select the direction that matches the unit on your scale.
- Enter the reading without rounding it up or down first.
- Compare the converted number with the current allowance for your exact trip.
Leave room for measurement differences
Home scales and airport scales may not read identically. Packing exactly to a published threshold leaves no buffer for scale variation or small items added later.
