A TikTok video went viral of a woman sneaking an extra bag onto an airplane in this hack. Ashlin posted a video of herself hiding a drawstring bag under her sweatshirt to fake a pregnant belly in order to avoid paying a fee for too many carry-ons.
She wrote in the video "When you get a $44 flight but can only bring a backpack."
Ashlin shows herself boarding the flight, writing that her hack worked. In a follow-up video, she explained that her illusion worked so well, she was able to pre-board the flight as a pregnant person. Some people were curious how she made it through TSA, or what would happen if she wanted to take off her sweater, but other people wrote that this was a genius idea.
Would you ever use this hack?
