Well, this is one way to do it…

A TikTokker named Mattie posted a video on the social media platform and shared a hack with viewers who only want to take one carry-on bag on flights.

The text overlay on Mattie’s video reads, “GRWM [that means “get ready with me”] for my 1 carry-on item only flight.”

The TikTokker then showed viewers that he was wearing layer upon layer of clothes on his flight.

We’re talking layers of pants, shirts, etc.

And all so he could only have one carry-on bag on his voyage.

In the caption, Mattie wrote, “Fit check!”
