Hillarious! See what air passenger did to avoid excess baggage fee

In a bid to avoid paying for an airline’s excess baggage fee, a man identified as John Irvine a passenger with EasyJet opted to wear 15 shirts and jumpers for his air trip.

When John Irvine, from Glasgow, turned up at Nice airport in France, he was told his bag was too heavy and he would have to pay a fee to check it in.

To make his luggage lighter, he then piled on 15 shirts and jumpers in a hilarious video shared by his son Josh on Twitter.

As airline baggage allowances get slimmer, passengers are going to extreme lengths to get around them, as John is not the first passenger to put on extra layers to avoid paying an excess baggage fee.

In April, Natalie Wynn avoided a £65 excess fee on a Thomas Cook flight by wearing seven dresses, two pairs of shoes, two pairs of shorts, a skirt and a cardigan. She was 4kg over the allowance when flying from Manchester to Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands.
