Impressive how convenient it is
The integrated weight indicator from Huckets in a travel suitcase offers several compelling advantages:
Fast and convenient weighing option: The integrated weight indicator eliminates the need to use a separate scale or to search for a public weighing facility in airport or train station halls.
Travelers can simply pick up their luggage and read the weight immediately.
Avoiding excess baggage fees: One of the main advantages of the integrated weight indicator is the ability to avoid possible excess baggage fees. By knowing the weight of their luggage in advance, travellers can better plan their luggage and remove superfluous or unnecessary items if necessary.
Precise weight announcement: Unlike external scales, which can potentially be inaccurate, integrated weight indicators in suitcases provide a precise measurement of the weight. This helps to obtain accurate information about the weight of the luggage and to ensure that it complies with the applicable weight restrictions.
A no-brainer to use
Easy to use: Using the integrated weight indicator is extremely simple and does not require any special skills or knowledge. Travelers can simply pick up their luggage and read the weight within the huckets-app[1] of their mobile phone.
Space-saving integration: Our integrated weight indicators take up minimal space in the suitcase and thus do not affect the available storage volume.
User can organize it’s travel items set by weight using Huckets application. Throughout of using this application user can define essential items weight and before travel create the list and get approximate weight immediately. This will help to choose and but the most suitable ticket for travel. User can create special lists (e.g. holiday in summer, holiday in winter, business trip etc) and add items for trip organizing. This future will help to do not forget important items as well as optimize travel preparation procedure.

The scale app
The integrated weight indicator is based on the integration of a small scale into the suitcase handle.
This scale is able to precisely measure the weight of the suitcase and display it within the huckets app (App available as white solution, to be seamlessly integrated into an eventually existing App.)
The results can be stored and conveniently retrieved by the user whenever required.
Why weight watching on luggage is so important?
The business model of low-cost airlines
That’s why they are so cheap at first glance
The low-cost airlines save a lot of personnel costs in some cases because they only offer check-in online or only offer check-in at the airport at a huge additional cost.
Hand luggage is and remains an important factor. According to a ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in September 2014, hand luggage must „always remain free“.
The only problem is: There are no regulations about how big and how heavy a piece of hand luggage can be.
The maximum sizes and guidelines are set by the airlines themselves. This also means that the airlines can set their own surcharges if the dimensions and maximum weight of the hand luggage are exceeded
Be careful with hand luggage in particular
Cost traps due to a lack of standards
For example, an Irish low-cost provider only allows you to take a small piece of hand luggage the size of a laptop bag free of charge.
Depending on the route, larger pieces of hand luggage cost between six and thirty-six euros when booking online. At the counter on site, however, it is even more expensive: it costs 20 to 38 euros per piece of hand luggage.
And it gets really expensive when boarding, when it is actually already too late – you will be charged up to 46 euros. With flight ticket prices sometimes only 10 to 15 euros, that’s quite a sum in percentage terms.
Other budget airlines are more accommodating: a small piece of hand luggage is sometimes free. Larger pieces of luggage, such as a rolling trolley, cost at least 7.99 euros.
It is important to note, however, that airlines often change their dimensions and weight guidelines for hand luggage. This is of course systematic, as uncertainty increases the possibility of the passenger falling into a cost trap.
That’s why it’s important to always find out about the permitted dimensions before departure and to measure and weigh the pieces of luggage precisely when packing.
At least there is already a „motion for a resolution on standard dimensions for hand luggage„. The EU Parliament’s resolution on uniform prices and size requirements for hand luggage on airplanes was successful. The EU Commission is therefore called upon to present measures for implementation.
