He tried a popular trick with luggage. He was not allowed to board the plane and the police were called

Many tricks that can be found on the web turn out to be extremely useful, although they often sound strange. However, ways that make life easier are not everything. TikTok, which has been a real treasure trove of such videos for some time now, is also full of non-obvious methods. Lifehacks concern both everyday matters and traveling, but a lack of common sense in their use can end badly, as one tourist found out.

How to Pack for a Plane: Watch Out for This TikTok Trick

We fly more and more often. We choose not only when we go on vacation. Airlines are setting increasingly stringent requirements for, including hand luggage and what can be taken on board. Fees for excess baggage or oversized suitcases can be gigantic. It is no wonder that Internet users share methods for saving.

One of them is known on TikTok as “travel packing”. What does it involve? Packing clothes into a pillowcase. This is not just any pillow, but an airplane or , from which you have to take out the inside and fill it with clothes. The problem is that it’s not just tourists who watch tricks on the Internet, and airport staff are becoming more and more sensitive.

He tried to board the plane with a “cushion”. It ended with the police being called

TikTok user @natashaorganic showed a video from one of the American airports. It shows how the pillow trick quickly backfired on the passenger. Orlando airport staff stopped a traveler with a “pillow” full of clothes and demanded payment for the extra luggage. The man was not happy and refused to pay, insisting that “it’s just a pillow”. The problem was that what he tried to bring onto the plane as a pillow, as @natashaorganic emphasized in the comments, did not resemble a pillow at all. Despite not paying, he tried to board anyway. A heated argument ensued, as a result of which the staff… called the police. The passenger was not allowed to board.

The recording quickly gained a lot of popularity on the platform, and several thousand comments appeared under it. Many Internet users pointed out that the airport is probably one of the few places in the world where you shouldn’t argue with the staff, because it can end with serious consequences. It was also emphasized that when using such internet tricks, it’s worth being prepared that not everything may go according to plan.

Aren’t people afraid of crime and being put on the no-fly blacklist?

So much fuss about nothing?

You can still listen to the internet, but if something doesn’t work, be prepared to pay up and move on.

The last place for such fun.
