They were told their luggage was overweight and faced an extra fee of $130 (£72), so these two passengers on their way to Sydney decided to get creative to get out of paying extra costs.

The duo were flying from Singapore to Sydney when they were told by budget airline Scoot that one of their bags was over the free weight limit.

But instead of protesting, the travellers believed to be from San Fransisco, opened their bags and put on as many of their clothes as possible in a bid to escape financial penalty.

11. In mountaineering sometimes we wear our double plastic climbing boots

because wearing them is just way easier than checking them.

13. This proves, too, how ridiculous those excess weight charges really are, since by wearing

their extra clothes, they were not reducing by one ounce the weight of their possessions on the plane.
