I’m a frequent traveler – this free hack gets you so much more packing room, it’s great when you only get a carry-on
PACKING for a vacation can amount to loads of stress if you’re only allowed to bring a carry-on.
It may seem next to impossible to pack everything you need for a trip in a small bag, but one traveler has figured out a sneaky way to get more packing space.
The best part is that it’s completely free and airlines won’t charge you for an extra bag.
Ally McKenna, who said she has an upcoming flight on Spirit Airlines, shared the genius packing hack in a video.
Instead of using a travel neck pillow to sleep, McKenna had the smart idea to use it as more packing space.
McKenna took out the pillow’s stuffing and packed it to the brim with extra clothes.

She was able to fit a pajama set, several pairs of underwear and bras, two scarves, and two matching sets all inside the pillow.
With the stuffed pillow around her neck, McKenna excitedly said: “No one can tell, oh my gosh.
“Let’s hope that security doesn’t think that this is suspicious tomorrow.”
In the comments section, several people were left seriously impressed by McKenna’s clever travel hack.
