Last month, Metro brought you another viral packing hack that raised eyebrows across the internet, after a Reddit user posed the question: ‘This might be stupid, but are you allowed to check a suitcase with a smaller suitcase inside?.
‘I was thinking of packing a small suitcase with my things and putting it into a slightly larger suitcase and checking the larger one, then checking both on the way back’.
[On] my flight there I only get one checked bag but on my flight back I get two free checked bags.
TikToker Aline Lowry prefers a more simple space-saving hack, which involves packing your suitcase upright on a bed.
Some travellers have attempted to save space by filling their travel pillows with clothing, although be prepared to pay for extra luggage allowance if you get caught like this unlucky passenger.
