A mum-of-three has revealed her ‘genius’ travel hack for reducing the cost of family travel, and it’s a ‘life saver’
A TikTok user has revealed her game-changing hack for ‘smuggling’ extra hand luggage onto your flight without needing to pay the extra charge.
Jodie Mangham, who goes by @jodiemangham761 online, has taken to TikTok to share her go-to hack for ensuring she’s got everything that she needs on flights, and it’s just so simple. What’s great about it is it’s super cheap to do too – all you need is a neck pillow with a zippable case. The mum-of-three shares videos across TikTok and Instagram, revealing ‘mum hacks’ for daily life. This travel hack was shared by Jodie as a way of keeping ‘the cost down’ of flying as a family, and she says it’s a total ‘life saver’.
In the video, she can be seen at the airport with a neck pillow around her neck, before being shown walking towards the plane. In a clip that follows, the mum can be seen unzipping the neck pillow to reveal that it’s stuffed full of all her flight essentials.
People were quick to comment on the game-changing hack. One person wrote: “I do this but with pillow cases,” while a second added: “I do this with my kids car seat, get a cover and fill it with another bag strapped in it”. Another impressed TikTok user simply commented: “Genius”.
While most people thought the idea was genius, one person pointed out: “It still goes through the x-ray machine… so yeah they know.” Another agreed and asked: “Security scanner?”
Despite airport security scanning every item before it goes onto the plane, the savvy mum has clearly found a great way to get extra bits onto the plane, without needing to pay a surplus cost.
