Just to make sure, allow 2kg less and be sure to adjust it to "0" before weighing. If it's packed, it will be better to bring extra Paper Bag or Plastic Bag, just in case.

They won't even bother you :) I've been over by 4KG plenty of times and a nice chat always gets you away without paying. Also it depends where you are traveling from, I travel back and forth from London.

If you have a large bag of ...If you have a large bag of flour or rice (or both!) that haven't been opened, weigh them on the scale and check to the weight on the bag. I do that at my parents' home in North America - works quite well at calibrating the scale.

Just step onto your scale ...Just step onto your scale carrying a suitcase, note the weight, then drop the suitcase and note weight again. The difference is the weight of your luggage. I do that with the dog and it works every time.
