This is the hilarious moment a determined Ryanair passenger went to extreme lengths to avoid paying extra luggage fees on a flight by wearing several T-shirts.
The unnamed man was seen peeling off multiple layers of his clothing onboard a plane in Dublin Airport.
Footage filmed by a fellow passenger shows the man removing four T-shirts while a female onlooker cackles in the background.
‘It’s amazing’, she exclaims, fascinated at the man’s genius hack.
‘Packing light’, another woman can be heard joking.
This is not the first time a passenger has used the clever trick to avoid paying hefty luggage fees.
Last year, another Ryanair passenger determined to avoid a ‘stupid’ £50 fine for excess baggage was pictured wearing five layers of his own clothes.
Connor Kirk, 25, was ready to board his flight back from Lanzarote in early June when he was told his carry-on duffel bag was too large and he’d have to pay the fine.
But rather than cough up the extra cash, Mr Kirk simply began piling on extra layers until his bag was small enough to be within the airline’s requirements.

Ryanair’s baggage policy states: ‘Each passenger can take one small item of carry-on baggage (up to 40cmx20cmx25cm) on the plane with them’
The holidaymaker was filmed as he began pulling out items of clothing and pulling them over his outfit.
In total, he put three shirts and a jacket over his vest top and managed to pull on three pairs of shorts.
Footage shows a staff member and fellow passengers laughing as he completes the bulging multi-coloured outfit.
The clip of his clothes-wearing antics at Arrecife Airport has gone viral, racking up more than 9,000 views on Facebook.
Mr Kirk claims that when he was let through by bemused staff other holidaymakers cheered and when he repacked the bag before take-off it still fit under his seat.
Despite finding the situation funny, he said Ryanair should allow larger bags to be carried on board for free.
The budget airline has been slammed in the past for charging passengers extortionate fees for excess baggage.

The airline’s rules state that each passenger can only bring ‘one small item’ onboard the plane
This bag ‘must fit under the seat in front of you’ and can be a ‘handbag, laptop bag or backpack’.
The airline’s rules state that: ‘If your small bag does not fit in the baggage sizers, which are placed at every boarding gate, we will tag your bag and place it in the aircraft hold subject to the payment of a gate bag fee.’
The airline’s rules state that each passenger can only bring ‘one small item’ onboard the plane.
This means that passengers can legitimately be charged the excess baggage fee by Ryanair if an extra item, such as a water bottle in a carrier, doesn’t fit in their under-seat bag.
