💨 Abstract

The author describes a creative but risky luggage hack for a budget flight. To avoid paying extra for luggage, they stuffed a neck pillow with clothes—seven pairs of pants, five pairs of socks, one pair of leggings, and two T-shirts. Despite initial anxiety, the author successfully passed through security and boarding by wearing the pillow. This hack saved money, allowing for treats during the trip. While effective for soft items, it's not suitable for toiletries or dirty clothes.
