A SAVVY traveller dodged Ryanair’s baggage fees by faking a pregnancy bump.
Grace Hale, 20, stuffed two jackets and a make-up bag into her top and wrapped up in a trench coat.

She then breezed through without being charged for the hidden extra hand luggage.
Grace pulled off the stunt while flying from Stansted to Edinburgh last Sunday.
The London-based business student, from Dallas, Texas, came up with the last-minute idea because she could not stuff all her luggage into her carry-on bag.
She said: “I realised the jackets and make-up bag weren’t going to fit, so I thought I’d act like I was pregnant.”
Grace even practised her fake bump on the train to the airport to ensure nothing would fall out — “because that would be embarrassing.”
At the airport, staff asked her how far along she was. She said: “I decided on 26 weeks which is so lucky because at 28 weeks you need a doctor’s note.”
Grace said she would definitely use the trick again for future flights.
Ryanair was contacted for comment.
