The Daily Mail writes about it.

How to save on luggage at the airport

The travel expert told passengers how to "get around the rules" of airlines. He advised buying a bag at the duty-free to pack all the things that do not fit in hand luggage.

"Typically, goods bought in an airport won't count towards your baggage allowance, including click-and-collect orders, so you could bend the rules a little bit here by packing a little more into a shopping bag," the expert noted.

The specialist also recommended wearing more voluminous clothes at the airport to save space in a small hand luggage.

"Airlines won't count your ski jacket towards your baggage allowance, as long as it's out of your bag and you'll have a much easier time trying to pack for your holiday when you aren't contending with a coat taking up 90 per cent of your space," the expert added.

You can also stash personal items like your phone, passport, keys, and documents in your jacket.
