Ingenious traveler hides extra luggage under the dress to avoid fees
"Hard times, hard solutions," said one of the passengers of a budget airline. She demonstrated how she creatively avoids extra luggage fees. The idea, although practical, is controversial.
Nowadays, traveling by plane comes with many challenges, including strict baggage regulations. Airlines such as Ryanair are known for their stringent limits on the number and size of bags, encouraging passengers to be resourceful.
This creativity led to a woman being hailed as a "genius" after she revealed a way to transport extra baggage for free on a plane.
She hid the luggage under her dress
Sara Loureiro, a popular TikTok user, shared on her profile the story of her friend Nina, who managed to take four bags on vacation while paying for only one.
In the video, which quickly became popular, Nina is seen at the airport wearing a long black dress and silver cowboy boots. At first glance, it seems like Nina meets all the carrier's baggage requirements.
The truth emerges when the passenger lifts her dress, revealing she is wearing three bags underneath. She cleverly hid them to make them invisible to airport staff and passengers.
"Hard times, hard solutions," – says Sara, emphasizing how creativity and courage can help avoid extra baggage fees.
Passengers' creativity knows no bounds
Nina's idea worked because, during the airport security check, you can have any number of personal bags. The key to success was to put the extra bags under the dress just before boarding the plane. This way, she bypassed the strict baggage limits imposed by airlines such as Ryanair.
The video quickly gained popularity on TikTok, garnering thousands of likes and comments. Internet users admire Nina's ingenuity; some even announce that they will try this method during their travels.
However, critical voices also emphasize that such actions can be seen as cheating and may potentially lead to stricter baggage regulations by airlines. This was the case with pillows, where passengers would stuff extra luggage into them. Ultimately, the carrier banned them on board.
