Woman shares hack to fit more in your hand luggage but people can't get past one issue
If you love to travel on a budget, you might not be keen to spend money on checking a large bag when flying. However, one woman packing for a trip to Italy shared how she managed to fit everything she needed into her carry-on luggage.
A TikTok video posted by @luuxbagsofficial – the brand of bag the tourist was using – read: "Miss, your flight to Italy only allows one bag." But the savvy flyer wasn't put off by the restrictions and managed to pack everything she needed, without using more than one bag.
While the hack was praised by viewers, there was one 'criminal' detail distracting some people. The traveller managed to pack outfits, toiletries, books, jeans, her laptop, and a pair of trainers into the bag, and people were in awe of how much could be crammed into the small bag without making it bulge.
But when she held the toothbrush and toothpaste up to the camera without them being in a bag, people began to get concerned about where they were going to be put.
She could've put them into a bag of toiletries, but for some reason, she decided to pop them on top of the shoes, which had been placed sole upwards...gross.
Initially, for the transition, she threw the toothbrush, and it landed with the bit that goes in your mouth on the trainer - and the soles didn't look super clean. When the transition had finished, it was nestled within the shoes.
Then, the bag was zipped up, and she added a longer strap handle for ease of carrying - but people had forgotten all about how efficient the bag was, and in fact, were focusing on the toothbrush scenario.
"I just came to the comments to make sure everyone else was freakin out about the toothbrush on the shoes", someone wrote. "The toothbrush touching the sneaker bottoms was criminal", another fumed.
Other comments included: "After all that and your toothbrush went by your dirty shoes", "The toothbrush destroyed this for me", "I just came here to see everyone’s comments on the toothbrush...it didn’t disappoint", "Not me jumping when I seen [sic] the toothbrush hit the shoes", and "I will be thinking about that toothbrush nestling up to the bottom of your shoe for the rest of the day".
Some were able to put the toothbrush situation aside, however, and focus on how handy the bag was. One woman wrote: "Ok besides the toothbrush fiasco this bag is legit lol".
