Travel influencer @msgarnagain shared her clever tip via a video posted to her TikTok channel, revealing an airport secret that many don’t know about. She explained that she had booked a “super cheap flight” that only allowed for a personal item luggage allowance. Many budget airlines, such as Ryanair and Wizz Air, only include one small, under-the-seat bag in the price of their tickets, charging extra for additional luggage. Ryanair, for example, charges up to £38 each way for an extra piece of hand luggage. While making her way through duty free, the TikToker had brought more luggage than she had paid for. She headed to a stand of water bottles and picked up the cheapest one she could find, priced at £1.45. Then, she grabbed a 10p carrier bag from the till, bringing her total purchase to £1.55. She filled the bag to the brim with all of her extra items and proceeded to her gate, boarding her Ryanair flight without any issues. The TikToker emphasized that this hack is legal, showing viewers a sign that states Ryanair customers are allowed to bring one personal item and one duty free carrier bag onto the flight for free. This hack is only applicable to hand luggage, as all checked luggage is weighed and placed in the hold before reaching duty free. The travel vlogger’s hack has garnered over a million views, leaving many viewers impressed. TikTok users flocked to the video’s comments section to praise the hack as “genius”. Many shared their own experiences, with one person saying they had been using this hack for a while and saved the bag for reuse. Another person suggested buying a bag from duty free for just 10p. A third person expressed their gratitude for the helpful tip, noting that they had two duty free bags from their previous holiday and could use them for their upcoming trip. A fourth user simply stated “Genius”, while a fifth shared that they had been using the same duty free bag for a year, calling it a “good investment”.
