It’s all in the Bag The signs at the airline check-in counters are pretty clear. If your bag is overweight, you could pay up to $100. But what if the scale weighing your bag isn't accurate? Inspectors with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services use calibrated weights to make sure scales are correct. At Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, inspectors rejected six out of 67 airline scales in January. Crewmembers are trained to ensure that the scale reads zero before customers place their bags on it. If for some reason the display does not read ‘0’ it can be manually reset to ‘0’. Any scale rejected by the state during inspection is taken out of service and the airline has 30 days to fix it. The state only inspects airport scales once a year. If you think a scale is wrong, ask the airline to weigh your bag on another scale.
