In an article in Business Insider, one expert revealed a workaround to get a free checked bag.
[authenticated-scripts src=”%3Cscript%20class%3D%22palin-poll%22%20src%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thesun.co.uk%2Fpollingwidgets%2Fv3%2Fwidget.js%3Fquestion_id%3D113117%26game%3Dpolling%22%3E%3C%2Fscript%3E” type=”embedded” width=”100″ /]They wrote: “I ask to check my bag the minute I get to the gate, regardless of whether it’s been requested.
“The gate agent almost always says yes, and I get to skip the checked-bag fee.”
Henry Harteveldt, the president of Atmosphere Research Group, described this is as a “well-known hack”.
He even suggested asking for the bag to be checked at the last minute.
This is because if it is loaded at the last moment, it has a better chance of being first off the plane and first on the baggage belt – although this is not always guaranteed.
However, the hack isn’t without its risks.
Passengers who haven’t paid for a larger carry-on item may be charged to put their suitcase into the hold.
Additionally, gate staff may measure and weigh the larger carry-on item, leading to additional charges.
