Teen fined for covering herself with six layers of clothes to avoid baggage fee

Travelers’ baggage difficulties seem to never stop, and they frequently come up with new strategies to avoid having to pay the over-baggage charges levied by airlines.

However, things don’t always proceed as expected. The most recent effort saw an Australian teenager penalized by budget airline Jetstar for trying to circumvent the regulations by packing 13 pounds of clothing.

Adriana Ocampo, 19, is shown in a video released online wearing multiple layers of clothing after allegedly being informed that she would be penalized AU$62 ($33) because her luggage exceeded the weight limit.

The two friends arrived at the airport with the hope that the crew wouldn’t have time to check, but that didn’t turn out to be the case. Ocampo recalled, “When we went to the board, we saw them pulling out a trolley with a scale.” “We thought the only way we can take the weight off our bags is if we put it on ourselves, so we started putting on our jackets and coats,” she added.

In the video, the Australian can be seen laughing uncontrollably as she pulls all of her clothing from the bag and puts it on, until she’s wearing 15 different outfits, including an iPad tucked in her trousers.
