Packing for a holiday can be a challenging task. It often becomes difficult to fit everything you want into your suitcase, sometimes forcing you to leave items behind. However, one woman has revealed a clever trick to help you take more onboard without paying extra fees.

A video posted on TikTok by a user named @thehollandcouple has gone viral for its ingenious packing hack. The woman in the video advises travelers to stop paying extra for checked bags and instead try her method. She demonstrates by stuffing a coat with extra clothes and carrying it onto the plane. According to her, this trick can save both money and time.

The video has garnered over 40,000 views and sparked a lively debate. Some viewers think the idea is brilliant, while others are more skeptical about its practicality. Despite the mixed reactions, the video has generated significant interest, with many viewers sharing their thoughts and plans to try the hack themselves.

One commenter reminisced about a trip to Paris where they wore multiple dresses on the plane to make room for shopping. Another called the hack "amazing," while others expressed excitement to try it on their upcoming trips. However, some users raised concerns about potential issues at airport security. The video creator responded, assuring that security is primarily concerned with safety, not the amount of clothing one carries.

Despite clearing up some doubts, there are still skeptics. One user pointed out the hassle of managing a stuffed coat, while another questioned if the effort is worth the savings. Others worried about getting the coat through security scans.

Although opinions are divided, many travelers seem eager to test the trick, especially during the busy holiday season when maximizing luggage space is a common concern. This inventive approach could indeed be a game-changer for those looking to bring a few extra outfits on their trips.
