TikToker Elyukaa has shared a clip with her followers showing a fellow passenger casually showing his ticket at the desk before boarding.

What many failed to notice is that he had managed to hide a backpack under his jacket.

The tip is proven successful as the man passes through control and heads over to the plane.

The video, posted on TikTok was captioned: “When you don’t want to pay for that extra bag.”

And Tiktokers were left stunned by the travelling hack branding it “genius.”

One said: “he even walked away in a hurry at an angle lol”

Someone wrote: “I literally did that yesterday they wanted to charge me $99 for 14lb so I put all the shirt on me in front of them”

One said: “I watched this about 5 times before I noticed so great idea”

Another Tiktoker said: “I’m trying this for sure next time.”

Meanwhile, another traveller has revealed how she manages to pack for a three-week trip without using checked-in luggage.

And a flight attendant has revealed the most common item that passengers lose on the plane. 

Thousands of travellers swear by a £29.99 bag that means you never have to pay for hand luggage again.
