The Plastic Bag Travel Hack (FREE Carry On!)

[@kingoliver5663]

You dont even have to buy anything from duty free. Just ask to buy the bag. I did it on my trip through europe with Ryanair. Works like a charm

[@Bizzy-Bumble1131]

Now the airlines know your travel hack.

[@danaeads919]

Airlines are cracking down on "hacks." Neck pillows, regular pillows and shopping bags are being charged as extra items. Just pack less garbage overall. Or, ship your stuff to your destination.

[@susie9893]

While I agree with what you're saying in theory, in practice, for winter travel, it can be really tough to travel personal item only - I've had some airlines that don't object to my stashing all my outerwear in a shopping bag (you know, the strip once you reach the airport) and I've had some where I've had to keep all of it on at the gate until thru boarding 🙄

[@j.kristineemmons]

Shipping is more than just paying for your bag

[@susie9893]

@@j.kristineemmons not exactly sure what you meant by that comment but if you mean it's more expensive to ship than pay for checked luggage then I have to disagree. Sometimes checked luggage is complementary but if not then I've always found shipping to be cheaper. If you mean it's safer to check luggage than ship it then I have to disagree there too, especially with the rising stats of luggage loss/theft. (I've even successfully shipped from places like Turkey and Asia). If you mean that shipping to your holiday destination can be more complicated than it's worth, there I have to agree with you. Looked seriously into this once, then dismissed it. Can maybe see the value if you're planning to live overseas for 6mths or more, but otherwise no.

[@deborahconkle6822]

Yes they are. On my current trip both flights stopped passengers with more than two things. Even the red eye with a pillow. American Airlines

[@Reggy616-wp9yv]

Fantastic!!! Where the hell are you going to put it once on the plane

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

Aug 2024 - the airlines are recently famously cracking down on size/weight and what is and is not considered extra personal item. Please make this video again in a few months, you might have something different to report.

[@j.kristineemmons]

TAP has like a 10kg limit for carry-on and like a 2kg for personal item

[@luzvaldes1030]

I don’t approve of these hacks… Just makes it worse for legitimate travelers because of the extra bulk in the bins

[@jamesmaxwellmagat2150]

I’ve been doing this too for ages. Really works.

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

They might stop you soon.

[@IslandGirl40]

Great tip! I use a bag for my snacks, books and crocheting. When I do...usually not a fuss. 👍

[@echo005uk]

I always take a bag with food too. Been doing it for years cos I won't pay airport prices.

[@shinzo6037]

I just want to say that I just hope not all the passengers do this at the same time and same flight, as it will be dangerous

[@AimfortheStars218]

They are saying the plastic bag is their carry-on, so it will fit well under their seat & the other is in the upper stow away. It's not dangerous even if every single person did this

[@shinzo6037]

​@@AimfortheStars218I'm concerned about the extra weight, if all people do this, they might cancel the flight as it will be dangerous.

[@headsheephd9032]

The extra weight will interfere with the fuel calculation and could cause a crash if all passengers do this. Congrats.😮@@AimfortheStars218

[@RyanKry]

​@@shinzo6037 My sister is a pilot, and I'm an Engineer, I can assure you there is absolutely no danger in terms of weight, not even close. The concern is combinations of a few other issues which cost extra money (time is money ie. boarding time) to the airlines. So the governments agreed to the long pleas of major airlines, bringing new regulations. Moving forward they will check everything and will be quite strict about it. No more hacks, and probably (at least for me) no more long term one bag only travels. All you get 7-10kg (depending on the country and the airlines) in total.

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

@@AimfortheStars218 They are saying if they have a personal carry-on PLUS the bag o' stuff. The rules say one personal item; now they're starting to crack down on the rule.

[@GoodWitchIntuitiveTarot]

Love this! what a great idea 🎉🎉🎉

[@MaraMara89]

Sometimes I am using plastic bags from duty free for some of my clothes of souvenirs if I bought too many to fit in my backpack/suitcase - it was great to travel with big wall calendar I couldn't fit into suitcase (I was "sure" it would fit in while buying it as a gift). Just remember they are often made from shitty material and can break easily (in Lisbon handle broke because of the weight of things I actually bought in duty free.... apparently two wine bottles was too much - I re-packed them into my cloth bag as soon as I was behind gates o.O). As long as it doesn't seem like you try to bring your all life-long belongings it should be ok. If you look suspicious there is a chance that gate agent will check your bags

[@LiL_Miss_Fiasco]

Leave the plastic bag on a chair or somewhere near. Then once the gate attendants and security are too busy investigating this unattended item, slip by unnoticed 😂

[@yhangtan5356]

I already tried That plastic bag hack before, and surprisingly it worked.😂

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

Not for long. Crackdown across North American airlines recently announced, and I think it was Delta that has given incentive program of paying airline workers at the airport receiving $10 per bag that they spot might be too big and demand the people put it in the measurement basket to see.

[@ramonamacabugao4836]

It’s dangerous to leave your plastic bag unattended for a while check in unless you know the person next to you on the bench chair.

[@theaweavers8576]

Hi hav been doing this for 10yrs !! By accident first time I must admit xx Even take my own duty free bag . Raincoat ....

[@nerizabuzadher8348]

Very smart! Thanks much, Wil!! 😅

[@teresitadiaz93]

That’s another trick might just as well try on my next travel. Thank you Mr wil

[@gamingwaffle1171]

Budget airlines are cracking down on this. Do another video and see if it's till works

[@4BB4S]

Keep that bag safe and you're sorted for your next 5 or 10 flights

[@yadihrdz9285]

Tried this with Spirit and the counter lady asked to see what was in my bag 😒

[@xxmj99]

You leave us wanting for more 😩

[@MK-tq5ec]

Yes. Becuz I had two plastic bags and a backpack while bf had his suitcase. I carry since he is slow to move due to medication. Gate agent gave me a hard time having 3 things (2 plastic bags and one backpack) I gave a glare, gave the bag to my barely functioning bf and problem solved.

[@T2Mike]

Actually I did this when I came home from Croatia :) coz I didn't have and extra space and all my pasalubong was bought last minute and I don't know where else to put it :D

[@kristinheimburg330]

Coming back from peace corps, I did similar! Friend put all the heavy stuff in another bag, took off and then they weighed my carry on. And tagged it as passing the weight limit. After that we put the heavy stuff back in.

[@segment932]

I tried this on a Ryanair flight about 10 years ago. At that time the gate did not allow extra space.

[@josephfarrugia2350]

Do you mean you managed to pull it off, ie: take the plastic bag aboard?

[@mariehuettner1566]

Most of the airlines let you have one carry on and one personal item. So this would count as personal item.

[@josephfarrugia2350]

Budget Euro airlines don't.

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

THEE personal item. ONE personal item; so no purse/bag (unless you stick your other stuff into it).

[@DebbieIancu]

It's works great. I've also gotten on flights with my snacks in a reusable tote and didn't hear a peep from anyone

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

that's because you're allowed to bring your own food (meal), but you need to eat it before you arrive at the destination.

[@nabelriel8566]

I do that before way back 2016.. I know my hand carry on bags are over weight. So I buy 1pack of chocolate at duty free and ask extra bag. So in total 1 handbag,1 carry on bags and 2 duty free plastic bags which is more heavy than my carry on bags which is only allowed 7kls.. (btw why I have that extra stuff, it is because my check in luggage are over weight so I have no choice, remove some than paying extra fee.

[@letmethinkaboutit8982]

The crazy things we will do to save some buck, buck, bucks. But in this economy, I can’t blame anyone for trying this. Airlines are just terrible and try to charge for EVERYTHING and price gauge their passengers. So desperate times calls for desperate measures. Just glad that the airline that we fly with don’t do that. But then again, I am travelling with others so maybe that is why I can get a rolling suitcase (small size), my backpack, as well as a blanket and IF they have issues with the blanket, I could shove it into my backpack. I always leave some extra room for that, just in case. 🤣

[@latishacampbell5764]

I'm so trying this, even though I only travel with a carry on.

[@honeysseysvlog67]

Kaka post ng mga ganitong video nalalaman tuloy ng airline. Sa susunod yan naman ang ipagbabawal. Haha! Haynaku kuya. Salamat po. lol.

[@offbed7670]

[@Spencer-tx7yd]

Good job

[@gaerekxenos]

Well... one of these things is a "Carry On" (the backpack) -- the other is considered a "Personal Item" - this basically bypasses... nothing, if the airline allows both a personal item and carry-on. If they don't allow personal items or set harsher restrictions on them, then *maybe* it does something. I guess it'll probably at least give people a bit of a peace of mind, sorta =/ You what to know what would be considered a 'hack'? A pair of ski pants with extra large cargo pants pockets that you can layer over your usual clothing. You can shove a few extra shirts and small items into the large pockets for extra storage space. Take them off at security so it can go through the scanner and put them back on afterwards. Do I recommend this? No. Because it is inconvenient, and you're generally going to be a nuisance at the security line by slowing down the process of getting stuff on and off at the line. Also, who actually wants to wear another bulky article of clothing when they probably don't need to...? Granted, it *is* a bit warmer so sleeping on the flight is a bit nicer sometimes

[@MaraMara89]

Let me know where you can buy plastic duty free bag that can handle that much weight ;)

[@DixieNormus710]

Not really a hack. Most airlines will allow one carry on and one personal item (such as a purse or shopping bag)

[@MaraMara89]

Not in Europe. In Wizzair and Ryanair (two most popular European lines) you can bring your personal item for free and pay for carry on.

[@EtherealSunset]

Not without paying a lot extra on budget European flights. One free personal item, which fits under the seat in front, is all you get without paying extra.

[@mekarequeenofthedamn]

Nope! Avianca didn’t want to let me board with a bag of tshirts I actually bought at Houston airport 😢 Not even showing them the receipt! Had to place it inside my personal item bag
