I filled my bra before the Wizz Air flight – it saved a lot of money

I was in the airport toilet, standing in front of the mirror, trying to swing the bikini to the side of my new pink DD bra.

Next go me Gym kit that is not used, followed by my fishing vest (further about it later). With every item, my reflection becomes a little … more curved.

As someone who never has many things in the department, it might look like a cheap breast work. But this is not pride – that’s a strategy.

I flew home from Lisbon with Wizz Air in January, and they only allowed a small cabin bag 40 x 30 x 20cm for free.

I manage the flight out well thanks to fishing vests with more than 15 bags, but I really want to give a different hack for me to return.

I carefully attached my jacket and took the last one in the mirror before heading to my gate, praying no one would see that I basically wore half of my suitcase on my chest.

The idea began earlier that morning, when I had rifling through the sales rack at H&M Lisbon hoping to find something to be tested.

I hope for a hoodie with an inside bag or a slim bag that I can tuck in under my coat, but instead my hand landed in a large bra at a price reduced to € 5.

I will encourage it when an idea comes to me: What if this bra is an answer to the bonus luggage room?

The concept of wearing additional clothes to avoid costs is certainly not new. There is a reason why Joey Tribbiani ‘can I wear another moment of clothes’ in friends still a popular meme. This perfectly summarizes the play we have to do just to get some additional clothes without paying more.

However, I have never seen someone who uses a bra for this purpose. And logically solid: airlines weigh and measure your bag, not your body. My coat pockets have brought snacks and overflowers that have overflowed for years, so why not give my chest a piece of action too?

On my flight day, I will not walk through security, it seems like I get a enlarged Portuguese breast – this is about passing the scales and bags.

Technically, clothes will not trigger alarm, but the mind about cloth lumps that were revealed enough to make me blush. So I put the bra into my bag, sailed through security, and went straight to the toilet to change.

When going to bra – on my shirt for speed – and then the filling starts.

My bikini kit and gym slid neatly into one cup, the vest fishing me to another. With every addition, my silhouette changed and I could not refrain from tampering, reminded to play dressing up as a child and the filling of the toilet paper above me.

My jacket zipper is a little challenge, and when Zip reaches the peak, the temperature starts to rise. Lisbon may be in winter mode, but under my layer, I experience my own personal heat waves.

When I appeared, James – my girlfriend and friends travel – looked at me up and down, his eyebrows creeped higher every second. He did not say a word, but his expression said everything: What have you done now?

At the gate, I strengthen myself. I am always a little nervous when pushing the limits of airline rules.

You hear the horror stories of passengers who were told to dismantle their bags, pushing them into the luggage sizer, or paying the last minute fine whose price is more expensive than the flight itself. I imagine a gate agent showing me, demanding to know why I look like I swallowed a small backpack.

In fact, no one combines eyelids. Boarding went smoothly, but I couldn’t wait to reach my chair to clean myself from my silly vibration. I rushed to open my coat zip on the plane before realizing my carelessness – I forgot that my BRA BRA was on outside my shirt.

Naturally, I need the age to open a pin in the back, a lot of entertainment among my passengers.

Setting, I was finally able to contemplate the existing hacking.

Is that successful? Yes.

I avoid paying for other bags and passing without questions. But the weaknesses are clear. You cannot pack much without being seen at all unnatural, it’s hot, and you will definitely embarrass yourself if you decide to release it.

Will I do it again? Now. This is one-and-done. For me, there is a much better hacking out there:

All of this has worked several times for me without heat, bulk, or awkward mid -flight Unzip.

So, if you are in real improvement and have a large back backup bra lying around, of course – try. If you don’t have big breasts, it is likely to succeed and you can save one or two bobs in cost.

But for the sake of your convenience (and maybe even your dignity), a jacket with a deep pocket will also do the work-so when you open zip in the middle of the flight, you will look completely normal and not like you dress in darkness.
