Airport warns passengers 'police will be called' over popular baggage hack

Airline passengers are being banned from flights over a viral packing trick. Holidaymakers and tourists jetting off from the UK have been warned "do not get caught out" over the packing move ahead of the summer getaway season.

A man was stopped at the airport after trying to follow a viral packing hack. At Orlando International Airport in Florida, the passenger used a pillow caase hack, a 'tip' which involves hiding clothes in a pillow case to prevent you having to pay for an extra carry on bag.

The man using the 'pillow case hack' was stopped by airport security - and police were called - at gate 17. The clip, shared on her platform @natashaorganic, has gone viral on TikTok with viewers rushing to give their thoughts.

She said: "Stop letting social media give you tips and tricks because sometimes it's not gonna work. This dude was trying to take in a pillowcase full of clothing and other items which he is stating was simply just a pillowcase and the dude was was like bro, everybody can see it's not a freaking pillow, like come on.

"They gave him the chance to pay for it, he went all the way up until they closed the doors to be like okay, I'll pay for it now, and then he tried to like bogart his way into the freaking, into the plane. They were like bro, back away, we gave you a chance and you didn't pay for it, and they ended up calling the cops on him.

"And he ended up getting escorted out, so stop listening to the internet." In reply, a passenger said: "The airport is the one place I’m making sure I’m a model citizen. Are people not afraid of felonies and the no fly list?"

"I’ll fight anyone anywhere anytime but never the airport. Getting out in the “no fly list” is worse than a bad credit score," added another.
