A passenger whose luggage exceeded the weight limit at the airport took what others would take as chic fashionable approach to avoid paying the migraine-inducing excess baggage charges.
Gel Rodriguez of Davao City decided to wear as many of her clothes as possible, and it saved her 2.5kg in precious weight, The Independent reported.
She posted a picture of herself, dressed in at least three visible pairs of trousers and seven tops, to Facebook. It went viral, garnering 20,000 shares and 32,000 reactions, according to the report.
“When the airline staff at the check in counter said: ‘EXCESS NA PO KAYO, 7kg lang po allowed na hand carry.’
“Me: NO PROBLEM! *from 9kg to 6.5kg baggage #ExcessBaggageChallengeAccepted.”
