A pair of cheeky holidaymakers made a giant coat with super-size pockets so they could wear their entire 30 kilos of luggage - avoiding £300 in additional Ryanair fees.

Joshua Pieters and his pal Archie Manners set themselves the goal of wearing all their luggage to see if they'd be able to avoid the usual added costs for their trip to Portugal from Luton airport in June.

The 30-year-old had a coat specifically tailored with 'heavy duty' pockets so he could stuff them full of his entire suitcase including a portable kettle and even a portable sofa.

Meanwhile Archie Manners, 31, donned a tent so they even had their 'accommodation' with already them.

Youtuber Joshua's coat managed to carry an array of holiday essentials including teabags, shorts and underwear, a beach ball, a chewable toothbrush, a spork, shampoo, and conditioner.

Despite a few funny looks, footage shows how the content creators miraculously managed to make it through security before boarding the plane before happily landing in Portugal.

Joshua claims they saved £59.99 on luggage costs each way as well as the surcharge of £120 there and back for exceeding the usual baggage weight limit.

Joshua, from London, said: "It's just a question everyone's always had like 'could I just wear my luggage?' or 'could I just stuff my pockets with my luggage instead of paying for a suitcase?'

"We always see flights advertised as really cheap, but we always send up spending way more money.

"We wanted to explore the question of whether you could actually take a budget flight for the price the flight was advertised as.

"We got loads of funny looks at the airport. We were a little bit nervous. When we were going through security, we thought 'this might not work'.

"It was one of those things where we knew it should work because we weren't technically breaking any of the rules, but it definitely felt like we were doing something wrong.

"The coat was made of a denim-like material, it was very heavy duty as the pockets had to be really strong [to hold everything].

"A lot of people were actually asking where they could buy the coat from because they wanted to try it themselves too.

"[When we landed and got off the plane] we were relieved we were on holiday. It was summertime and we were able to enjoy the beauty of Portugal."
