Passenger Destroys Suitcase to Dodge Airline Fees: Genius or Insane?
Have you ever thought about destroying your suitcase just to save 75 euros on airline baggage fees? Well, one passenger actually did it, and the video has set social media on fire!
How It All Started
Low-cost airlines like the British EasyJet are notorious for their strict carry-on baggage rules. If your suitcase exceeds the allowed dimensions, be prepared to pay an extra 75 euros. But this passenger came up with a clever trick — he removed the wheels from his suitcase, making it appear smaller to the airline staff. The result? He avoided the extra fee, and his TikTok video has been viewed over 7 million times!
Was It Worth Destroying the Suitcase?
Comments under the video are divided. Some praise his ingenuity and say saving 55 euros (the suitcase cost 20 euros, and the fee was 75 euros) is a great deal. Others wonder if destroying a suitcase is really a smart move since wheels are there to make traveling easier.
What Does This Say About Low-Cost Airlines?
This situation highlights the absurdity of baggage rules. Passengers are often forced to get creative to avoid extra charges. Is this a sign that the rules are too strict, or that passengers are just too crafty?
Social Media Goes Wild
The video sparked a wave of comments and laughter, as well as debates. Some joked that the next step might be destroying the suitcase before packing, while others warned about potential hassles at the airport.
Conclusion
Genius or dumb move? Maybe a bit of both. But one thing is clear — low-cost airlines and their baggage rules continue to inspire creativity and frustration among travelers worldwide.
