Travelling in an airplane is obviously not cheap. But most airlines let you carry a handbag or one item which could include a laptop or a purse. But if you want to carry a piece of additional luggage with you on the plane, some flights charge you for that.?
However, some very clever passengers have found a way to beat the rules and avoid paying money for some extra stuff they are taking along.?
Katie Williams tried a hack which is going viral on TikTok to save bucks and she swore by it. She shared everything with?Glasgow Live reports.?
She writes:?Katie writes: "For full transparency, I was away for a week and stayed with family which means I already had access to a washing machine, pyjamas and shower products.?
"My return flight to Ireland West Airport came to a total of ?34, including seats (around ?6 each) and fast track security (about 5.99) at the airport. So my actual flight tickets were only ?17 return. If I were to add another hand luggage, it would have cost me between ?14 and ?20 - and I certainly didn't want to spend more on my luggage than my actual flights.
"So sticking with my trusty rucksack that fits Ryanair's hand luggage allowance (40x20x25cm), I made sure I could fit in everything I need to keep the costs low."On the day of booking my flight, I went onto Amazon and found the small clear bags that the woman used in her video.?
"Of course, there are plenty of different types from different companies. You can see a selection if you simply google 'Packing cubes'.
She talked about how she took a book, makeup, laptop and clothes. But clothes according to her take more space. But she still found a hack.?
"This is where the hack comes in. Taking the biggest clear bag, that's around nine inches, I tightly rolled three tops and a pair of jeans and placed them in the bag. The tops side by side and the jeans on top. And the bag zipped, keeping them compact and with ease I could slide the cube into my rucksack.
She said that her socks and other clothes easily went inside the mid-sized bag. She used the airport's small plastic bag to put in her makeup. This created no issues for her at the airport and it truly was a great hack.?
Try it!
