Passenger gets banned from flight for using viral packing trick
‘Stop letting these social media sites give you tips and tricks because sometimes it’s not going to work,’ one woman argues
Inside Orlando International Airport, an eager flyer, who thought they could hack the system, showed up to his flight with a pillowcase in hand. Trying to sidestep the airline’s carry-on rules, the man filled the thin sheet with his belongings, arguing the item was a pillow.
On TikTok, user @natashaorganic captured the interaction between the ticketed passenger and the airline staff. She documented their argument until the airport police showed up and escorted him away from the gate.
At the start, the man, wearing a white beanie and black backpack, is seen speaking with an airline attendant in an orange traffic vest. Their voices are muffled, making it hard to decipher what exactly was said.
“Stop letting these social media sites give you tips and tricks because sometimes it’s not going to work, okay?” the TikTok user said. “This dude was trying to take in a pillowcase full of clothing and other items, which he is stating is simply just a pillowcase.”
