Travellers warned against using this viral packing trick after passenger was denied boarding

Passengers looking to sneak a few extra items into their luggage when flying have been warned against the hack after a traveller was denied entrance on to the flight.

The viral packing trick seen on tiktok shows how passengers can use a pillow case stuffed with extra clothes, like coats and jumpers, to make it look like a regular pillow to be used on the flight to get away with packing more than is allowed. 

TikTok user @natashaorganic uploaded the video to tiktok as the scene was unfolding at Orlando Airport in the US and warned people against using the hack saying, "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 like 'bro, everybody can see it's not a freaking pillow'. Like come on."

The video shows a passenger getting into an argument with airport security for trying to bring the "pillow" on to the flight.

Airport staff offered to rectify the problem by asking the passenger to simply pay for the extra luggage, which the passenger denied, which resulted in him being denied from boarding the plane.
