A lot of us, especially women, love to travel with lots of luggage. And nothing crushes one’s hope than having to remove stuff from your bag, at the check-in counter, just because you’re told it is over-weight. So, here is a great hack to bring an extra bag on board for free and flight attendants won’t even notice!
Aside the pillow hack, did you know that duty-free bags don’t count as carry-on baggage? Well, you are not alone! Most passengers are not aware of these tricks. But Miguel Munoz, who has been a flight attendant for over10 years, exclusively shared with Express.co.uk what he calls “the duty-free hack”. Apparently, if you have something that doesn’t fit in your suitcase or you want to bring an extra weight on board, here is the trick which no flight attendant will notice.
“All you have to do is carry a duty-free bag” or better yet, ask for one at the duty-free shop, and put all those items you don’t want to leave behind in the shopping bag.
I have personally executed this hack while traveling from Istanbul to Banjul, and trust me, it worked! The crew didn’t even realize that I had an extra bag which weighed almost about 6 kg, in addition to my backpack and handbag! Smart right?
So next time you’re traveling with excess weight, give this trick a try! Good Luck!
I love this piece. I am educated merci
So the hack is to pack all your cloths in a pillow case and carry it to the flight and use it as a pillow while you’re in the flight?
