A sneaky traveller created a fake pregnancy bump to avoid paying Ryanair’s baggage fees.

Grace Hale shoved two jackets and a bag full of makeup inside her top after realising they wouldn’t fit in her carry-on baggage.

The 20-year-old was travelling from Stansted, London, to Edinburgh.

After walking through security, she bundled the items inside her top and wore a trench coat.

The student even made up a cover story in case she was questioned by staff.

“It’s ridiculously expensive if you want to take a bag on a Ryanair flight, so I just get the carry-on option and shove everything inside,” Grace, from Dallas, Texas, US, told What’s the Jam.

“I like to take ten options for a three-day trip.

“We were running late, and the flight was so early.

“I was scrambling and packing on the train to the airport, then I realised that the jackets and make-up bag weren’t going to fit.

“I thought I’d act like I was pregnant. What would they say?

“I practised in the train station by putting the make-up bag under my top, and I wrapped the jackets around it so nothing could fall out because that would be embarrassing.”

Grace claims that staff even asked how far along she was, but she’d done her research beforehand.

Grace, who studies business in London, said: “It was so funny.

“I googled what pregnancy bumps looked like at different months and how far along I’d be.

“I decided on 26 weeks, which is so lucky because at 28 weeks you need a doctor’s note.

“They asked how far along I was and if I had said any more than I’d need a fit to fly.”

Grace kept up the act until they got off the plane in Edinburgh and said she’ll be using the hack again after doing it last Sunday (23 Mar).

She added: “There are going to be a lot of pregnant Ryanair passengers because it’s so expensive to take a bag with you.”

Ryanair has been contacted for comment.
