Two British travelers have come up with an ingenious way to avoid paying overweight fees for their luggage when boarding a flight. Tiktokker Emily Krogsboel and her partner packed their suitcases too much and as a result, they were charged more than 800 pounds for overweight.

However, the couple was determined not to pay the extra money for being overweight. They have invented an original life hack that may be useful for other shopping enthusiasts, writes Dailymail.

The husband and wife did not hesitate to remove all the extra things from their suitcases in order to bring their weight to the norm and not lose hundreds of pounds in fines. At the same time, they also decided not to lose the new items and took them with them.

However, they used an unexpected method - they simply put on all the things that caused the extra weight of the luggage.

It should be noted that the couple also posted a photo on the Internet of how they put on as many layers of clothing as possible to ensure that excess weight was removed from the baggage allowance.
