The moment you see the luggage scale at the airport teeter between 49.8 lbs and fifty is probably one of the most stressful moments of some people’s travels.
People are coming up with ways all the time to avoid paying anymore extra fees when they take a trip and this woman is no exception.
Gel Rodriguez was told her suitcase was over the weight limit had a brilliant way of avoiding paying the fee – by wearing all of her clothes. She managed to reduce her suitcase from over 19 pounds of clothing to 14 pounds. How? Layers!
She posted a picture to Facebook, showing herself posing in her outfit with what looked like at least three tops, two pairs of trousers and four cardigans. The post was shared over 20,000 times.
