Luckily, one cash-savvy woman has come to rescue with an easy trick that means you won't have to fork out for a cabin bag or underseat bag for the plane.
And you've already explored more exotic destinations, such as Australia and South America, chances are you already have the necessary item.
Rather than spending a mini fortune on a carry-on bag,
TikToker Nina Edwine proved just how much you can put inside an empty travel pillow.
What's more, not only can you store your clothes safely but the packed pillow will also provide the ultimate comfort on long-haul journeys.
And don't be fooled by the relatively small size of the pillow either - Nina jam-packed the space with heaps of items.
In the video, the holiday-goer, from Germany, was seen removing a non-padded bra, what appeared to be a strappy dress, several tops, a stunning co-ord in red and more.
In total, Nina - who posts under the username @nina_edwine - whipped out a whopping ten pieces of clothing form the pillow cover.
This, she added later on, was perfect to create ''more than six'' different outfits.
Chuffed with her hack, the bargain-mad traveller said: ''Rat technique to avoid paying 50 euros (£42) for cabin luggage.''
While some major airlines offer their customers a small cabin bag free of charge, the allowance may not be enough - which is where this hack comes in handy.

The clip has since taken the platform by storm, winning the savvy woman more than a whopping 2.6million views.
With summer now officially here, the hack has gone viral, as over 75k people gave it a like and almost 1,900 flooded to comments.
''This is actually genius fr (for real),'' read a comment that's been liked more than 4,100 times.
Another viewer was in total disbelief, writing: ''Wait you fit so much stuff in there.''
''Legendary…how have I never thought of this,'' a TikToker was clearly impressed by the trick.
''Love doing this saves so much space,'' a fourth commented.
''One of those Uniqlo cross body bags - fits loads in. Wear it under your coat with a scarf round your neck to disguise the strap,'' a fashionista added.

Lola Young 'in tears' backstage after earpiece mishap at Summertime Ball
At this year's Capital FM Summertime Ball, Lola Young struggled with technical difficulties while performing her hit songs Messy singer Lola Young is said to have been 'in tears' after struggling with technical difficulties while performing on stage for this year's Capital FM Summertime Ball. The 24-year-old singer performed a few songs at the event at Wembley Arena in London this weekend, but her earpiece stopped working while she was on stage. While trying to get the earpiece to work, she told the crowd: "Sorry guys my ears are going in and out. Can I get some new ears?" She tried to continue without the earpiece but couldn't keep in time with the band, so she eventually asked the audience: "Sing along please." "It's like they're doing it on purpose," Lola told her fans after a few attempts of performing without hearing anything from her earpiece. After finishing her set, she walked off the stage in frustration. In a video taken by an audience member, Lola could be seen looking distressed from the mishap as she put her face into her hands while a few others stood by her. One person wrapped their arm around her as two others seemingly comforted her. She then slowly walked off to a different corner of the area and leaned her arms on what looked to be a box. The TikTok user captioned the post: "Lola young ran off crying because her ear piece stopped working." Fans also rushed to the comment section to share their support for the star. One user commented: "I really don't see how people can hate on someone for this? It was a sound issue and the crowd loved her still, I feel bad for her but she was one of the best acts!" Another said: "Bless her," and one concerned fan posted: "If someone doesn't hug that girl." The Mirror have reached out to Lola's reps for comment. Earlier in the show, fans were shown a statement from organisers on the screens. It read: "We have had to pause the show temporarily. Please remain in the stadium. We hope to restart shortly. Thank you." Fans were quick to go on Twitter and share updates from the venue. One wrote: "Capitals summertime ball is going well #summertimeball," whilst another added: "Whoops #Summertimeball." Capital Breakfast's Jordan North said before the show: "We are absolutely buzzing to be back at Capital's Summertime Ball with Barclaycard this year!" Ashley Tabor-King, Founder & Executive President of Global, added: "We've got a stellar line-up of global superstars and today's biggest hit music artists - all set to light up the stage! "This is truly one of our best ever line-ups and we can't wait to see 80,000 Capital listeners enjoy every moment, it's going to be a day to remember!"

Reese Witherspoon's nepo baby Ava Phillippe and her boyfriend announce major relationship news
Reese Witherspoon 's daughter, Ava Phillippe, has taken a major step in her relationship with Dakota Brubaker. Earlier this month, the actress, 25, revealed she moved in with her partner Dakota Brubaker in a sweet TikTok video. As fans excitedly reacted to the news, many social media users couldn't help but point out something a little unusual about the couple. The two seemed to bear a striking resemblance to Ava's parents, Reese Witherspoon, 49, and Ryan Phillippe, 50, who split in 2006 after seven years of marriage. Rather than ignore the online chatter, the pair leaned in to the comparisons in another video, which showed them looking dumbstruck at one of her follower's comments. In a cheeky post, the duo showed their horrified reactions to one woman writing: 'Close enough. Welcome back Reese and Ryan.' Ava, who is a carbon copy of her Oscar-winning mom, looked shocked, while Dakota, a musician, stood by her side. As Ava waved her arms and shook her head, Dakota seemed less bothered. Dakota even seemed to embrace the comparison by putting on a pair of glasses and black turtleneck sweater similar to the one Ryan wore in 1999's Cruel Intentions. 'you guys… whaaaaattt @Dakota Brubaker,' Ava captioned the video. The pair have been making a series of humorous videos together on the platform, including one on Dakota's account titled 'POV you and ur gf finally move in together.' Mike Posner's Cooler than Me was playing beneath the clip as Ava snuck up behind he guy and hugged him. 'You'll be married in a year in the suburbs or something like that,' he captioned the post. Under the post, TikTok users flooded the comments, with many declaring them the 'next gen reese and ryan.' The couple went official on social media in December when Ava posted a snap of her beau kissing her on the cheek in a photo booth. The two seemed to bear a striking resemblance to Ava's parents, Reese Witherspoon, 49, and Ryan Phillippe, 50, who split in 2006 after seven years of marriage The pair leaned into the comment. Dakota put on a pair of glasses and a black turtleneck sweater similar to the one Ryan wore in 1999's Cruel Intentions Dakota posted the same picture and added one of them sitting beneath a Christmas tree.

They were seen together at an event hosted by The Hollywood Reporter and Instagram for content creators in November 2024. Dakota is a musician who also goes by the name Vindigo.

Woman issues major TSA warning over the item you should NEVER leave out in the plastic bins
An avid traveler has issued a stark TSA warning over the one item you should never leave out in the plastic bins. The woman, known as on TikTok, often shares her travel tips and tricks on the video-sharing platform. In a recent clip, the content creator - from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - said that she made a shocking revelation after speaking to a TSA agent at the airport. 'The thing I am absolutely never doing when I go through TSA... I am not putting my phone directly into one of the containers or bins. 'It's always going inside a zipped pocket in my bag,' the traveler explained. 'Why? I did this once, the TSA looked at me and said, 'You don't like your phone?' 'I looked at him like he was a little crazy and I said, 'Yes.' 'He said, 'This is the fastest way to get it stolen.'' The TikTok user added: 'The number one thing they see get stolen on a regular basis is phones and that's because they are left out and available. 'You know the lines can back up and somebody could just swipe it and you're not paying attention until you realize it's too late. And then try traveling without your phone. 'So always make sure that your valuables are zipped up into your bag when they go through the scanners.' Dozens of users flooded the comments sharing their own stories and tips. 'Someone swiped my mom's laptop exactly like this!' one person said. 'Make sure your driver's license is put into a zipped pocket too. Lost mine after going through TSA and didn't realize it until I was on the plane,' another wrote. 'Yup. Also, I worry about leaving it in the bin (recently saw someone do it and had to chase them down),' someone shared. 'Might be gross but I shove my phone inside one of my shoes…' a user admitted. Another suggested: 'I would include passport in this too. Or wallet. So many folks toss their personals right in a bin or on top of their bags.' However, some people acknowledge that airports often require all electronics to be placed in the bins. 'Except when the airport requires all electronics and phones to be out in a bin,' a person wrote. The poster responded: 'If that's the case, I'll comply, but be overly vigilant. 'That doesn't work. I travel all the time and they always make you take your electronics out of any bag. Just keep an eye on it,' someone recommended. Many others also thanked the content creator for the advice. Recently, TSA warned travelers about a common camping item they cannot take on board after one clueless passenger put it in his carry-on. The security administration posted the stern note to Facebook after the team at Pensacola International Airport in Florida stopped a man from taking a stove - complete with propane tank - onto the plane. 'Listen, friends, we love watching cooking shows as much as you do, but any top chef has to know that you cannot bring a stove with a propane tank attached through airport security in your carry-on bag,' the post began. 'This one was hard to miss, but great job by our team at Pensacola International Airport (PNS) for discovering this during standard checkpoint screening on Monday, and educating the passenger on the regulations we have around prohibited items. 'The passenger said he was unaware that stoves and propane tanks couldn't be carried on a plane, so let this be a learning moment for everyone… propane tanks cannot and do not belong in either your carry-on or checked bags. 'Camp stoves can be carried on, but *only* if they're empty of all fuel and fully cleaned so no fuel vapors or residue remains.'
