Is there anything better than flying far away without breaking the bank?
Budget airlines offer the opportunity to fly to hundreds of destinations at truly low prices. And when the cost of living seems to continue to increase, it comes in a great way that you can go on holiday without catching up for months.
However, budget airlines may force additional fees, which can lead to air heights. For example, if you need check-in luggage, you may add £100 or more to your round-trip trip.

She explained that people at the airport might ask you to pay you or “take some things out of your luggage.”
She shared that if you “have a pillowcase”, it means you're all good because “the pillow fly for free”. So, if you were in this situation with overweight luggage, what exactly should you do with your pillowcase?
Put the softest of your luggage in a pillowcase and pack it. That way you'll be comfortable resting your head. “I'll go ahead and wear some extra clothes, put my hoodie and sweatpants in this pillowcase, which will eliminate the extra weight,” she boasted.
It is worth noting that this hack only works on certain airlines. According to the mattress clarity: “Some airlines allow you to bring pillows to your plane for free, while others charge a fee for this additional luggage add-on.”
Someone said, “This only works in the US,” but others found a sleazy way to do something similar. On Reddit, someone was asking about a pillowcase hack and asking if it was “still working.”
One responder said it seemed innocent and would be better to try this instead. They write: “Put it in your shopping bag – they don't check it. Yesterday, I did it. I had a personal bag with me so it's not allowed, so I'm not allowed, so I'm going to do something on Aiport I bought it and ordered their biggest bag, so I put it in my shopping bag.”
Someone responded: “This sounds like a good idea and it's less risky.” Another shared the story that they were “prepared to pay £50” as they had crossbody bags that wouldn't fit in their rucksacks when a kind stranger helped them. “She secretly stuffed my handbag into a half-empty tax-free bag after I took out my passport, wallet and phone. (The people at the boarding gate are too busy to notice). I went back and said, , told the original board pass checker that I combined the two as requested (in fact, she didn't seem to mind as if she had forgotten). The kind fellow passengers , put my shoulder bag back on me when we were on board,” she shared.
