Woman tries sneaky hack for getting extra hand luggage on to her plane without paying – and gets away with it
A FREQUENT flyer has raved about a simple item that they claim makes going through the airport much simpler.
It’s easy to get flustered when passing through airport security, particularly when taking items in and out of a carefully packed bag ready for the scanners.
Travelling with only hand luggage is a convenient way to avoid the hassle of carrying heavy bags and paying hefty baggage fees.
For travellers who are unable to squeeze any more threads into their bag, stuffing a pillow case full of added clothes is a great way to avoid the bank-breaking fee for checked luggage.
Regular traveller Brianna, known on TikTok as @lequeefthief, swears by the handy hack for budget seeking flyers.
“Seeing if the overpacking pillow hack works on the plane,” the clip’s caption reads.
“I bought a zippered pillow case at Ross before my flight.
“I put all of my extra clothes that didn’t fit in my carry-on in the pillow case.”
The clip then cuts to the gleeful influencer on the plane after she boards her flight without questioning.
There are plenty of other makeshift travel pillow hacks online too, including a woman who revealed that she stuffs her travel pillow with items like clothes.
It comes as another woman divided opinion online after sharing her strange hack for sleeping on planes.
The passenger said that it helps her get comfortable enough to drift off during plane trips, even though she hates flying.
Meanwhile, a fashion stylist who often travels for her job has revealed some of her top packing tips – and one will cost you just 20p.
She explained on TikTok that the first thing you should always do is roll your clothes.
One item she always packs? A travel steamer.
