Meanwhile, jetsetters have shared a travel hack to get free checked luggage at the airport - but comes with a risk.
Airlines across the globe have been cutting their hand luggage allowances in recent years, with many charging passengers to bring a large carry-on item onboard.
In an article in , one expert revealed a workaround to get a free checked bag.
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.
