It’s no secret – low-cost flight tickets often come with high extra fees. Passengers are increasingly being stung by luggage costs, with airlines forcing them to pay more if their bags don’t fit into ever-shrinking baggage sizers and eagle-eyed gate agents ready to catch travellers out.

To avoid steep price hikes, passengers are taking matters into their own hands, coming up with clever packing hacks that allow them to sneak extra luggage on their flight – and sharing them on social media. From buying a travel pillow for extra storage to hiding items in duty free bags, there’s a range of TikTok luggage tips that promise to help passengers pack for a flight with no baggage allowance.

One TikToker, @anayagreig, shared a video of her in the queue for boarding with two bags hidden under her jumper. ‘I had two bags and my camera under there. I don’t know how this even worked they didn’t even question me,’ she captioned the video.

Sometimes you’ve gotta stay safe 😅 #luggage #travel #traveltips #traveltricks #airport. Another user, @andreeawander, filmed herself sneaking her carry-on luggage in a duty free bag. She captioned the video: ‘POV: You’re flying and decide to buy a duty free bag to sneak in the extra luggage.’.

Placing the large paper shopping bag on top of her suitcase, she reveals a small black rucksack inside. In the comments, she added: ‘They need to stop charging people ridiculous amounts for luggage.’. Another daring TikToker, @travellingwithtals, filmed herself sneaking two extra bags aboard a plane. Alongside her large backpack, she hid a small one underneath her poncho and concealed a pillowcase filled with her personal items, including a sleeping bag.
