We've all thought about it...trying to get one over those pesky excess baggage charges by doing a Michelin man impression as you smugly waddle passed the desk twiddling your evil genius moustache. Does it work?
Well James McElvar found out this week. The 19-year-old – who happens to be a member of Scottish boy band Rewind – thought he was getting one over on EasyJet. Unfortunately all he got was heat exhaustion.
It all started when the band tried to board an EasyJet flight from Stansted to Glasgow. While the rest of the band breezed through, James was told he had too much luggage.
At this point he had three options: stump up £45, chuck his clothes, OR put them all on.
Obviously, putting them all on seemed like the best option, and that’s exactly what he did. All six t-shirts, four jumpers, three pairs of jeans, two pairs of jogging bottoms, two jackets and two hats of them.
Planning on removing them asap he was told he had to wait until they were airborne but a combination of the heat and the wardrobe he was wearing he passed out in a vomit strewn haze.
He was removed and taken to hospital where he made a full recovery. Should have just paid the 45 quid!
