A savvy holidaymaker came up with a genius way to swerve excess baggage fees.
Natalie Wynn was reluctant to pay Thomas Cooks fine for exceeding her luggage limit.
So in a bid to save herself £65, the Manchester-based lass decided to make her bags lighter by wearing all her holiday clothes.
Fellow passengers couldnt resist cheering as she triumphantly made it onto the plane without having to fork out for any extras.

"I put on four dresses, two pairs of shorts, I tied a dress around my neck, put a skirt on, I shoved two dresses down the dresses I had on, and two pairs of shoes as well, and a cardigan…
"There were people around us cheering us on because after I did it my friend decided she would do it too because her baggage was also overweight. We were definitely a sight walking onto the plane.
