A Ryanair passenger has shared a video detailing how they were able to sneak extra luggage on board their flight without paying for it.

The TikTok clip, which has since gone viral, shows the traveller holding what appears to be an ordinary pillow case at an airport.

However, after arriving at their destination they begin taking clothes out of the pillow case — revealing that they only pretended it was a pillow when in fact they were using it to store luggage.

According to Ryanair's website, all passenger fare types include a small personal bag, which must fit under the seat in front of them.

These include rucksacks, handbags, and small luggage bags.

In order to be allowed to take more baggage onto your flight, you are required to pay an additional cost.

By disguising their extra baggage as a pillow, the traveller was able to take additional luggage without paying a fee.

Since being posted, the TikTok has gained nearly 600,000 likes and thousands of comments from users sharing their thoughts.

After going viral, the clip caught the attention of Ryanair themselves, who commented: "Bestie PLEASEEEE what is this?"

The person who shared the clip then responded: "Uhm... Hope we're still friends?"

Another TikTok user wrote: "Yeah I've worked at the airport, they can see it all in the X-ray we just don't care."

"Course they know, it goes through the scanner," agreed a second.

"Ryanair deffo having your picture at every check-in desk," a third joked.

A fourth commented: "Thank you! You're my god!"

"Haha this is brilliant," echoed a fifth.

A sixth simply said: "Genius."
