A TikTok video went viral of a woman sneaking an extra bag onto an airplane in this hilarious hack.
TikTok user @miniadvantures aka Ashlin posted a video of herself hiding a drawstring bag under her sweatshirt to fake a pregnant belly in order to avoid paying a fee for too many carry-ons.
Using the popular "Nobody’s Gonna Know" audio, Ashlin wrote on the video, "When you get a $44 flight but can only bring a backpack."

The original video has gathered 13.2 million views and 2.7 million likes.

One viewer wrote, "Saving this for next time I fly!"
