Connor Kirk re-enacted an iconic Friends scene
A cheeky holidaymaker re-enacted an iconic Friends scene to dodge Ryanair's 'stupid' £50 excess baggage fine - by piling on five layers of his own clothes. Connor Kirk was ready to board his flight back from Lanzarote when he says he was told his carry-on duffel bag was too large and he'd have to pay a £50 fine.
The clip of his clothes-wearing antics at Arrecife Airport has gone viral, racking up more than 9,000 views on Facebook. Connor claims that when he was let through by bemused staff other holidaymakers cheered and when he repacked the bag before take-off it still fit under his seat. "I wasn't paying £50 to get back into my own country. I'd spent enough on holiday as it was, it's stupid. Everyone was laughing but I didn't mind it. I wasn't embarrassed at all. I'm quite outgoing like that anyway.
He insists staff didn't have any issue with their carry-on bag ahead of their outbound flight from East Midlands Airport, Derbyshire. Connor says Kerry was forced to pay the return flight fine as her small carry-on bag was too large too and she didn't want to copy her son's cheeky stunt.
