However comfortable and fast, travel by plane also has some limits, especially as regards the suitcases that can be carried with you. In the last period, in fact, almost all low cost airlines have reduced to a single hand luggage the maximum limit of personal effects that the passenger can carry with him without paying an extra. Those who want to embark a suitcase in the hold will therefore necessarily have to pay an additional sum.
That’s why passengers are getting more and more in order to carry a greater number of things by plane. For example, there are those who dress in layers or those who buy special foldable backpacks that in a few simple moves turn into large suitcases. Then there is another trick widely used in these cases which is that of the pillow. Did you already hear about it before?
What is the “pillow makeup”?
The famous trick consists in filling the federal of the travel pillow of clothes and other useful objects for the trip, and then climbing on board pretending that it is simply a normal bearing that helps to sleep comfortable on the flight. The idea at the base is simple: most airlines allow you to bring comfort for comforts such as cushions, blankets and masks to sleep for free, without these being counted in the weight of hand luggage.
@wanderlustinguys Pay € 30/40 a luggage for a flight of € 10/20 is madness, so we opted for this trick #cuscinadaviaggio #viaggiageeconomico #risparmiareinviaggio #cuscino #RYANAIR #voleconomico #viovilowcost

How do you put into practice?
The most creative passengers fill a federa with:
The risks of pillow makeup
But be careful: putting this expedient into practice is at its own risk. Airlines and airport staff are becoming increasingly aware of these stratagems and controls become more rigorous.
The risks include:
Many travelers report successes with this method, but more and more often they feel stories of people uncovered and forced to pay additional rates or, in the worst case, to leave objects at the airport.
The trick of the pillow can work, if done well and without exaggerating, this stratagem often goes unnoticed and allows you to recover precious extra space for its personal effects
The golden rule always remains the same: reading carefully the regulations of the chosen airline and consider whether the possible savings are really worth the risk of being in embarrassing situations or having to pay salt penalties.
Remember: Traveling should be a pleasure, not a useless source of stress.
