‘Genius’ people say as woman shares ‘brilliant’ hack to get more Ryanair luggage for free this summer
A WOMAN has been hailed as “genius” after revealing a hack to get more luggage for free on a Ryanair flight.
Sara Loureiro took to TikTok to share how her friend Nina managed to take four bags on holiday with her, whilst paying for just one.
Many budget airlines such as Ryanair only include one small, under the seat bag in the price of their tickets, and charge customers extra if they want more luggage.
For example, Ryanair charges customers up to £38 each way if they want to bring an extra piece of hand luggage onto their flight.
In the video, Nina can be seen in the airport, wearing a long black dress and silver cowboy boots.
She pulled up the dress and revealed that underneath she was wearing three cross body handbags.
Nina twirled around, showing off the bags, before pulling her dress down again, to reveal that the bags were completely invisible underneath.
“Hard times, hard solutions”, Sara said.
When going through airport security, you can have as many bags as you like, so Nina just had to put the bags on under her dress just before getting on the plane, as it is the individual airlines that have strict baggage allowances.
Previously, another TikToker, Sam Petrarca revealed another tip for taking extra items onboard a Ryanair flight for free.
She explained that she had removed the inside lining of her travel neck pillow and instead used clothes that wouldn’t fit in her small bag to pad out the pillow.
In the small space inside the pillow, Sam had managed to stuff tops, socks and even a small towel.
You can pick up a travel pillow from Amazon for around £8, far cheaper than the price of extra luggage on a plane.
Sara’s video, which was posted under the username @sarasloureiro has gone viral, racking up 2.6 million views on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users raced to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts, with many praising the hack as “genius”.
One person said: “More tips please, I am taking notes here”.
