Weight To Travel is designed to help you avoid excess baggage charges when travelling. Whether you are getting ready to depart for your destination or returning home from a trip away, it’s a good idea to know how much your suitcase weighs before you leave for the airport.

Weight to Travel helps you do just that, by reducing the guesswork. It works in grams or ounces. Obviously the size of garments and thickness and structure of fabrics can affect the weight of your suitcase, but Weight to Travel acts as a handy guide. All the garments and items listed are based on a medium or average size and an average fabric thickness.

----- Features-----
• Select from over 100 items to pack in your case.
• Categories include; Bag Selections, Tops, Bottoms, Outfits, Kid’s Items, Accessories and Miscellaneous Items.
• WTT works in metric (kilos and grams) or imperial (pounds and ounces) weights.
• Use WTT when you are shopping on holidays, so you can keep track of your baggage weight.
• Great for insurance reports. If you lose your suitcase, you have a record of what you have packed, to help make a claim for your lost luggage.
• Save your WTT trip details to help you plan/pack for your next trip.

----- How to use WTT-----
Start by selecting the “+ Add a New Trip” button on the Trip Selection page.

You will need to fill out the 3 fields - Destination, Flight No. [Optional] and Date in order to proceed. If you are not sure of the details, simply fill in any details in the three areas - you can always edit these details later. For instance, you may not know your Flight No. when you start using WTT. That’s OK - you can type in any number or omit it. You can change the number later. You will be required to enter your destination and the date you intend on travelling. This information can also be edited later.

Next to the “Trip Selection” heading there is a “settings” button. Click on that, to take you to the “Settings” page. Select either kg or lb for weighing your luggage. After you have filled out the + Add a New Trip fields, select Bag 1 or Bag 2. The first bag may be your checked in suitcase. The second bag may be your cabin bag. Select a bag that may be similar to your suitcase or bag from the range of luggage buttons/illustrations, choosing one that is similar in weight to the one you will be taking. Then begin to fill your virtual WTT suitcase, using the various buttons to select from. For example, you may want to start by packing 2 pairs of jeans. Perhaps add 3 T-Shirts, 2 pairs of shoes and so on. As you select each item, the weight of your selection continues to add up, giving you a running total of what you are planning to pack in your actual suitcase.or instance, you could be travelling with a 20Kg/44Lbs baggage allowance.

If you plan on shopping while you are away, you may want to pack your case with half your baggage allowance before you leave home, allowing you to add any new purchases to the suitcase. While you are away, take your iPhone/iPad with you when you are shopping and as you purchase new items, add them to your WTT virtual case so you can keep an eye on how much weight you have left in your baggage allowance. The total weight of what you add to your case automatically adjusts as you add or subtract garments, shoes, toiletries, books, appliances etc. If you are a small person or someone travelling with children, we suggest you deduct 10% from the total weight of the contents. If you are a larger person, try adding 10% to your selection.

WTT can also be used for your cabin bag as well as your check-in suitcase. You can also save your trip packed selection for future trips. This will then act as a guide for what you need to pack on your next journey. Try to keep a note of what items you packed but didn’t use, so you don’t make the same mistake on your next trip. WTT acts as a guide, using average weights to help calculate the weight of your luggage. For accurate weight, use scales.
