If you’re planning to travel during the summer holidays from an airport, it could spell disaster if you’re not prepared for it. One woman has shared a hack to avoid it all
Travelling during the school holidays can turn any airport into a scene of chaos, with lengthy queues just to enter the building and security lines that seem to stretch on forever. The excitement for your upcoming holiday can quickly be overshadowed by rising tensions.
The baggage drop-off area is no picnic either, as you watch other families struggle with weighing their luggage, attaching tags and growing increasingly irritable. And let’s not forget the hefty fees for adding a checked suitcase when you’ve only purchased flight tickets – enough to make anyone think twice. However, one savvy traveller has revealed her secret to bypassing all this stress: skip the 22kg checked bag and opt for hand luggage instead.

The mere thought might send shivers down your spine, but she’s demonstrated how an ideal under-the-seat cabin bag can comfortably hold up to four days’ worth of clothing – or even more if you’re clever with your outfit planning.
Using ‘The Travel Hack’ cabin bag, the user @twinperspectives managed to dodge those pesky extra travel costs, claiming she “easily fitted” everything required for a short city getaway.
Her packing list included clothes, a book, chargers, toiletries, and more, all neatly organised in the bag’s convenient compartments – with room to spare.
Plus, it means keeping all your belongings close by during the flight. “It came with these really handy compartments,” she boasted, ensuring a well-organised travel experience.
A savvy traveller shared her experience with a specially designed backpack that was a game-changer for budget airline flights, reports the Express.
The ‘Travel Hack’ Bag, boasting a handy top pocket for quick access to essentials like “passport, purse, AirPods, things like that” meant no frantic searching through the bag at crucial moments.
She also pointed out that most low-cost airlines stick with size limits of 40 x 20 x 25, and this gem of a bag stayed within those boundaries “even when stuffed full”. The cherry on top was the comfort factor—she highlighted the thick straps that made it a breeze to carry.
During her journey, she was chuffed to discover that “it worked, it fitted under the seat”, seamlessly slipping into the space given.
However, amid praise in the comments section, some raised concerns about liquid restrictions. One comment read: “I thought that there was a limit on the amount of liquid you can carry on. How did it work with your toiletries?”
The internet came to the rescue as someone clarified: “Not true. The limit is 10 items of no more than 100ml. 1 litre max”.
Another person chimed in, reminding folks to keep liquids like shampoo, deodorant, and suntan lotion to no more than 100ml each, pointing out the necessity of presenting them separately at security checks.
Another commenter was curious about shoe storage querying: “Where’s the shoes? I take far too many.” To which the TikToker candidly replied that her sandals had to pull double duty throughout the trip, sacrificing variety for the sake of packing light.
For those keen on snagging this backpack, it’s available on Amazon for £34.95 – a small price for big convenience.
