An airline passenger wore at least 10 pieces of her clothing to avoid paying extra fee for baggage.
The Philippines passenger Gel Rodriguez decided to wear 2.5 kilograms of her garments after her carry-on luggage exceeded the maximum weight of seven kilos, reports Daily Mail.
Gel said, "When the airline staff at the check in counter said only seven kilos is allowed in hand luggage; Me: No problem."
