The luggage rack has two rails where each of the two rails has a plurality of sensors. The sensors detect the weight of the luggage. The sensors are communicatively coupled to a display which receives the data from the sensors. The display determines a calculated weight from the received data and displays the weight on the display. A back rail is further disclosed which is coupled to the second rail. The back rail is useful for securing the luggage on a plurality of straps coupled to the two rails.
