Gel Rodriguez - from Davao City in the Philippines - took an innovative approach when her luggage exceeded the weight limit, as her multi-layered outfit saved her 2.5kg.

She wrote on Facebook: ''when the airline staff at the check in counter said: 'EXCESS NA PO KAYO, 7kg lang po allowed na hand carry.'

''Me: NO PROBLEM! *from 9kg to 6.5kg baggage

#ExcessBaggageChallengeAccepted (sic)''

Despite commenters on social media praising her ''genius'' ploy, Gel admitted she wasn't sure if she'd try it again.

She told Vice: ''Maybe not. It was really hot. I don't recommend other people do it.''
