Man’s desperate attempt to avoid baggage fees goes viral
One man’s plight to avoid excess baggage fees has been caught on camera and gone viral.
In the video, the male passenger can be seen kicking and shoving his bag into the luggage size checker as an airline staffer looked on.
The man’s desperate efforts amused those around him, with giggling being heard in the background from fellow travellers, including the person filming.
The video, which has now been viewed over 26 million times, was captioned, “Don’t die for EasyJet.”
Eventually, the man was able to convince the staff member that his bag was the right size to count as carry-on luggage, only for it to then be stuck inside the metal frame.
"He's going to miss his flight trying to get that out," one person quipped in the comments.
"Rumour has it he is still trying to get it back out," another joined in.
Meanwhile, some thought the staff member was clearly also just having a laugh.
"The staff guy was just having a laugh, knowing well what was about to unfold," one person said.
Others empathised with the traveller for trying to avoid the extra fees, with one person sharing, "EasyJet made me pay extra for my carry-on pillow, I still haven't recovered from the shock."
