Travelling with only hand luggage is a convenient way to avoid the hassle of carrying heavy bags and paying hefty baggage fees.
And one woman who has done just that has shared how she transforms a Uniqlo bag into a makeshift travel pillow.
Lifestyle blogger MenuForMaria posted a TikTok video explaining the clever trick.
In her video, she placed her orange Uniqlo bag next to her neck to rest her head.
She then used the long straps of the shoulder bag to hang her arm.
The TikToker said: “It’s actually so comfy for travelling home for Christmas.”
The video has now amassed thousands of views and nearly 27,000 likes from fellow savvy travellers.
Dozens of users flocked to the comment section to praise the tip – dubbing the idea “genius”.
One user said: “I need to try this next time! Genius!”
Another added: “I did this on my flight instead of getting a pillow.”
A third penned: “I thought I was the only one. It has been my travelling bag ever since and I can fit a water bottle.”
Other users claimed the hack can work on flights too.
They said: “On a plane rest it on the tray and close the tray upwards, it works as a foot rest. It saved me on a 15 hour flight.”
But others disagree and claimed the bag is not as comfortable as it looks.
One user fumed: “I used to do this but it made me get a dead arm all the time.”
But the content creator replied: “Make the strap longer if it isn’t comfy for you.”
There are plenty of other makeshift travel pillow hacks online too, including a woman who revealed that she stuffs her travel pillow with items like clothes.
It comes as another woman divided opinion online after sharing her strange hack for sleeping on planes.
The passenger said that it helps her get comfortable enough to drift off during plane trips, even though she hates flying.
Meanwhile, a fashion stylist who often travels for her job has revealed some of her top packing tips – and one will cost you just 20p.
She explained on TikTok that the first thing you should always do is roll your clothes.
One item she always packs? A travel steamer.
