Avoid the Risky Ryanair and EasyJet “Hack” - Use Send my Bag for a Stress-Free Journey

When it comes to low-cost airlines like Ryanair and EasyJet, savvy travellers are always looking for ways to cut costs and make their travel experiences more convenient. Recently, Which? shared a sneaky “hack” on Instagram, claiming to help passengers avoid paying for checked luggage by manipulating the system.

Essentially, the hack says to pick up an airport shopping bag once you’re through security, and use it to carry all of the extra items that won’t fit into your hand luggage. As duty free bags don’t count towards your baggage allowance, it’s a way to ‘game’ the system into taking more on board.

Whilst both budget airlines’ websites confirm that passengers can bring a duty free bag on board, it sounds like a pretty stressful way to max out your baggage and minimise cost - all with the risk of a hefty fine if the airline decides you’ll incur an outsized baggage charge after all.
