Free baggage allowance of up to 7 kg was allowed on the flight. If the weight of the item is more than that, the fine will be charged. To avoid fines, many people throw less essential items out of their bags. Others chose a different path. One of them is Adriana Ocampo, a 19-year-old girl who put on about 6 kg of clothing to avoid fines. After completing the trip, Adriana was going from Melbourne, Australia to Adelaide on a Jetstar flight with a friend. at the airport
On arrival, he realized that his luggage would weigh more than 7 kg. Then without delay, he took the clothes from the luggage. Seeing him, his friend also did the same.
Despite all this, Adriana’s luggage weighs more than 7 kg. Authorities then fined him $65 for being overweight. But Adriana is not willing to pay the fine. So he took out the rest of the clothes and put them on quickly. The young woman said that she looked like a bear because she was wearing pants and trousers over pants and a jumper and jacket over a T-shirt. Besides, while boarding the flight, the rest were looking at them crookedly and smiling.
However, this is not the first case to avoid fines. Earlier, in 2019, a similar incident took place in a Filipino airline. There, a woman put two and a half kilograms of clothing on her luggage to bring it under six and a half kilograms. Source: NDTV.
