Next time you pack, it'll be an open and shut case.
Card-carrying members of Overpackers Anonymous rejoice, this genius TikTok packing hack is the end of your airline travel baggage allowance woes.
To pack or not to pack? That is the question.
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous excess baggage charges, or to dispense with a sea of essential vacay clothing items, and by forgoing them, halve your travel wardrobe… Well, now thanks to TikTok, you don’t have to do either.

In a TikTok posted earlier this month, packing ninja Anya Iakovlieva aka @nolimitua, shares one of the sneakiest travel packing hacks we’ve ever seen.
The video – which has since amassed more than 16 million views – shows Anya stashing additional clothes inside a pillowcase, then successfully boarding a flight with it sans additional baggage charges.

“The best travel hack ever!!! ‘Pillow’ flies for free,” Anya captioned the video, in which she’s seen gesturing “Shh!” to the camera as she walks through the airport with her clothing-filled pillow and suitcase in tow.
She’s later shown on-board the flight, winking and holding the pillow in her lap as proof that her ruse went undetected.

The game-changing packing hack has left many people stunned.
“This is the best travel hack I’ve ever seen in my life,” commented one user.
Another writing: “You’re a genius.”
“I just did this last week…it worked like a dream” confirmed another comment.
When a user questioned whether the method really worked, Iakovlieva responded: “6 times test and worked so far.”
How long the hack will remain feasible before airlines catch on remains to be seen. As one comment pointed out: “Now, everyone will know. By 2022, airlines will start charging to take a pillow aboard.”
All the more reason to use it now, while we still can.
