Man customizes coat to avoid airline fees
Packing for a flight that has strict baggage restrictions can be tricky, but a man in England managed to outsmart one airline.

Packing for a flight that has strict baggage restrictions can be tricky, but a man in England managed to outsmart one airline.



Lee Cimino says he was frustrated with Ryanair's new carry on restrictions and fees.



So he took an old coat to a tailor to modify the lining in order to hold a small suitcase worth of belongings.



Cimino tested out the new coat on a flight from Manchester to Belfast last Friday



He successfully made it to his destination.



There is no word on if he's planning to make more.
