Where can I go to have my luggage weighed for me?

Community Answer

In some airports, there is a weighing service that you can pay for. If your luggage needs to be handled carefully, you can also have them wrap your luggage and mark it as fragile.

Question

Can I pay extra ahead of time?

No, actually you can't! You have to be at the airport to pay the price of the luggage because TSA can't determine the cost ahead of time just in case you pack more than originally planned.
