A MAN has sparked a debate online after he used a sneaky trick to avoid paying for his oversized suitcase. <\/p>\n

In a video on TikTok, the passenger who posts under the username bed.sweater, recorded himself tampering with the luggage scale at the check-in desk. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The footage showed the passenger at the check-in desk where their suitcase was placed on the luggage scales. <\/p>\n

When the suitcase was being weighed, the passenger used their toe to lift the scales, which made the bag lighter. <\/p>\n

The passenger used the cheeky trick to make sure their oversized luggage was under the weight restrictions. <\/p>\n

By using their foot to lift the scale, their luggage went from a weight of 54lb (24kg) to 48lb (21kg), which would've been under the limit.<\/p>\n

But some holidaymakers weren't as impressed, one person wrote: "I wonder how it works for the safety on the plane?" <\/p>\n

While another added: "That\u2019s dangerous for the other passengers." <\/p>\n

Those Brits who are thinking about giving the sneaky trick a go before boarding their next flight, might want to think again. <\/p>\n

Holidaymakers who are caught tampering with the weight of their luggage at the bag drop could get into trouble. <\/p>\n

This isn't the first time a passenger has gone to extreme lengths to make their luggage fit into size requirements. <\/p>\n

Last year, one man was filmed\u00a0snapping the wheels off his suitcases\u00a0to avoid having to pay extra luggage costs.<\/p>\n

Footage of the frustrated passengers was shared on Tiktok by user Anna (@annapalumbo91).<\/p>\n

In\u00a0the video,\u00a0the travellers<\/span> are seen stamping and pulling the wheels to remove them from their cases.<\/p>\n
