Ways to Avoid Paying to Check a Suitcase When You Fly

As you all know, the increase of CPO (crude palm oil) prices is giving the aviation industry a tough time. If they increase their ticket price too high, they might lose their customer. In order to cover up their losses, they came up with a new idea!

Charging flight passengers to check in their suitcase.

I read this in MAD MAG that I got it from USA, its really cool about what they wrote.


As we all know, many people are trying to avoid this paying issue to save money. Check some cool ideas.

You can dress in layers like:
- 8 pairs of underwear ( it might get too hot down there )
- 4 pairs of pants ( people might think that you're trying to control your desire )
- 6 shirts ( isn't it too hot for malaysians )

Dressing in layers not only will save your money but will save you from a car accident!

Buy a real huge umbrella that will fill in all your toiletries, gadgets and snacks. You might look suspicious of trying to smuggle someone into the plane like osama's son. But remember, opening an umbrella in a plane is bad luck!

Reading materials are not considered as a luggage. Why not we follow the traditional way of keeping secret. Hollow out a large book like yellow pages or a thick dictionary and pack it full of socks, handkerchiefs or some coins.

Mind wearing a hat in an airplane?? Try wearing a stovepipe hat. It can carry a hell of a lot of stuff like your medicines, shaver or even your favourite snacks. Wearing this hat makes you look patriotic too. (does not apply for malaysians)

This sounds a bit too much. You can try swallowing your stuff just before the flight. You can swallow your shoes, gloves, watches or even your private soft toys.

Your stomach can be a good luggage too. You might want to start swallowing your stuff a few days prior to your departure if you're a heavy packer.

Warning: please do not try this at home!

As you all can see, this 5 steps can help you store everything you need for your traveling without paying any surcharge to check your suitcase.

Happy trying! (except the 5th step)
