Airline passenger uses sneaky travel hack to get extra bag onto the flight
The best travel advice has been shared by travelers, including how to sneak free additional pieces of luggage onboard planes. We’ve all struggled with the challenge of packing everything we want for a trip without paying extra for checked luggage in the modern era of economical flight travel.
Wearing as much of your clothing as you can is a traditional, fairly simple strategy, but that isn’t always a workable option. A traveler has revealed how he beats airlines’ strict luggage limits by bringing an unpaid additional bag on a flight.
The man walked boldly toward the bustling airline employees to have his boarding pass verified while covering his backpack with a jumper. The guy, who was also carrying a briefcase, was allowed to board the plane while sporting an additional bag that he did not have to pay for, which was unknown to the personnel.
Another passenger saw the move and posted it on TikTok. She posted footage of the man’s jumper stretched taut over the bulky backpack with the caption: ‘When you don’t want to pay for that extra bag’. The man’s ingenuity impressed viewers. ‘Man, it was clever, even though I didn’t see it,’ commented one viewer. ‘There’s 20kg of something inside that bag.’ ‘He is a master of his trade,’ said another.

Another clever incident involved a man who propped his foot underneath his check-in bag while it was being weighed in order to minimize its weight.
The man made sure to maintain eye contact with airline staff as he pulled off the move and avoided paying a hefty excess baggage fine.
