A Frontier Airlines passenger thought he was being clever and stuffed all of his belongings into a pillowcase. He claimed it was a pillow to avoid paying a carry-on bag fee on the low-cost carrier. The agent was not having it and ended up getting police involved.

TikTok user @natashaorganic shared a video that shows the passenger arguing with gate agents around bringing his “pillow” onto the plane. The flight was departing Orlando International Airport (MCO) and headed to Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) and airport staff tried to get the man to pay for his carry-on bag. He refused, tried to force his way onto the aircraft, and was escorted out of the airport.

Anthony’s Take: There are many videos out there with tips and hacks to beat the system. These rarely work and often being an inconvenience to the staff and other passengers. Follow the rules and you’ll be fine. Try to beat the system and you’ll end up like this guy.
