A CLEVER suitcase trick has gone viral on TikTok which will get you two checked suitcases for the price of one.
Travellers have called it a huge “new life hack.”
For those looking to save on pesky baggage fees, TikTok may have just found the answer.
A user has posted a video to the social media site giving holidaymakers a sneaky travel hack for those planning on bringing back a mountain of holiday souvenirs and shopping.
The viral trick involves placing a large packed suitcase inside an empty one.
Zip them both up, check them into hold luggage and you’ve managed to take away two bags for the price of one.
Travellers can then fill the empty suitcases with a host of holiday purchases and bring the two bags back on the return flight, ideal for those heading on long-distance trips.
You will obviously need to pay for both suitcases on your return, but you’ll have scrimped some cash on the outbound flight.
It also means you won’t need to buy an extra suitcase during your trip if you already had spares at home.
However, an even handier hack has emerged online for those looking to max out their holiday packing.
Pop a smaller packed suitcase inside a large suitcase for your outbound flight.
On the return, you can check in the larger suitcases filled to the brim with new purchases and souvenirs, and keep the smaller bag as your free carry- on bag.
The result is only having to pay for one checked bag on each flight.
Fans of the popular hack poured praise on the social media platform.
“This is absolutely freakin’ brilliant,” wrote one user.
Another added: “Doing this for years, saves you space in the big suitcase and gives you extra space once you use it as a carry-on the way back.”
“This is a great idea because I have about 55 suitcases from each time I had to buy an extra one,” said another.
Another said: “Oh my god new life hack unlocked.”
A savvy packing hack has also been doing the rounds on social media, helping shoppers whittle down their wardrobe into just nine essential items.
The trick means you can save on baggage fees by only bringing one free hand luggage bag.
