In January 2018, when a British passenger found out he couldn’t afford an excess baggage fee he decided to wear multiple layers of clothing instead.
The cost of bringing luggage abroad on an airplane can be very high.
The man is Ryan Carney, who was flying out of Iceland on a British Airways flight, when he found out he had excess luggage he showed up with no luggage, instead he wore 10 shirts and 8 pants. When the airline refused to let him fly, he posted a video on Twitter explaining the problem.
Williams says he decided to wear all his clothes because he wasn’t able to afford the excess baggage fee of $125 “as a result of being left homeless in Iceland for over a week.”
He claims the airline originally told him he could board if he wore all of his clothing.
British Airways told the Iceland Monitor that Williams was denied boarding not because of the amount of clothing he was wearing but instead because he was rude to the gate agents. His behaviour eventually led to him being pepper sprayed and removed from the airport by security.
Not only the news of his removal spread to other airlines, but the following day Williams was turned away from an easyJet flight based on his behaviour the previous day.
He finally got home on a third airline. No word on which one, or how many shirts he was wearing when he finally got on board.
