The tourist, known on TikTok under the nickname jessvibesonly, made a video in which she told how she hides an extra bag on budget airline flights. This trick allows you to take two pieces of hand luggage on the plane instead of one without paying extra.
The girl’s secret is to wear a loose sweatshirt on the flight. In the video, she shows how she takes off her belt bag, then takes off her sweatshirt, and then puts the bag back on and the sweatshirt over it. The tourist boarded the plane with only a small suitcase as hand luggage, without arousing suspicion.
This method can be useful if the low-cost airline has very strict requirements for the number of items in hand luggage. However, in the comments under the video, which has gained 350,000 views, users’ opinions are divided.
One of the subscribers wrote: “Thanks for the advice.” Another shared his method: “I always hide my bag under my coat.” But those who were not impressed by the tourist’s advice also spoke out. Some even offered to pay for extra bags rather than sneak them on board.
However, the girl’s video is not the first time when a passenger uses inventive life hacks to secretly carry an extra bag on board a budget flight. One of them was even accused of “rudeness” and “unacceptable behaviour” after a surveillance camera recorded him hiding several bags before boarding the plane. The method was simple: he stacked extra bags on top of his suitcase extended by the handle, then draped his coat over the handle, concealing the secret bags inside.
