Passenger shares 'genius' travel hack to avoid extra luggage fees of up to £60

A plane passenger has devised a 'genius' way to avoid excess baggage fees when flying with budget airlines - and it all starts and ends with a common clothing item.The traveller-turned-designer noticed passengers being charged for exceeding the carry-on limit and created a crafty hack to avoid fines of up to £60.Instead of shoving clothes into a case or bag and hoping gate staff won't notice, the creator suggests carrying a few extra bits in a specially designed hoodie that doubles up as a backpack.Known as @traxexhoodie on Instagram, the flyer showcased the convenience of a Travex hoodie, which features a backpack seamlessly built into the back of the garment.The clothing item is currently on sale for £44.99 on the Travex website - with affordable dupes found elsewhere on the likes of Amazon - and is available in unisex sizes M to 4XL in both black and grey.
