Dylan Springer was horrified when he realised he might be hit with the extra charge at the airport - but his quick thinking saw him through without paying a penny
A holidaymaker bragged his ingenious hack helped him dodge EasyJet's 'ridiculous' excess baggage fines - by 'sneakily' stuffing sandals, books and snacks under his clothes.
The professional dancer already had an under-seat rucksack with him so EasyJet rules state he would need to have paid an additional fee to take another bag. Dylan insists he snuck the extra bag under his jumper for the outbound flight from London Gatwick Airport but there were stricter checks on the return journey.
"I put my Birkenstock sandals in my socks and my jeans over the top. I put two books in each of the little side pockets I had on my legs which somehow perfectly fit in there. Then I had some snacks which I just put inside one of my pockets and I had a portable charger inside my hood. I tied a shirt around my waist too.
"When I was through the baggage bit I realised I could take everything off so I thought it would be a funny thing to record myself just whipping out all these clothes. Lots of people stared at me but I could tell some were thinking 'that's clever' and 'fair enough, I would've done the same'.
