A woman discovered a clever solution to avoid checked baggage fees by disguising her belongings as extra junk in her trunk.
Shewana McGeefrom Birmingham, Alabama, took to TikTok to announce the results after storing a large backpack on top of her derrière.
The bag was tucked under the figure-hugging leggings and further hidden by a denim jacket tied around her waist – creating the illusion that she had a Brazilian butt lift, or BBL.
“Keep it FREE sis,” she captioned the post.

“When you fly Frontier and they say your carry-on bag is too big,” she captioned the clip
Since Shewana shared the travel hack to TikTok days ago, her post has received nearly one million views and over 100,000 likes
She went on to add hashtags including #doingwhatigottado and #instantBBL — the latter a reference to the cosmetic surgery procedure.
Text overlay on the post gave context to the loot-enhancing quick fix: ‘When you fly Frontier and they say your carry-on bag is too big.’
A follow up TikTok van Shewana captured the hefty size of the pack, which also looked completely full. But in the caption, she explained that the photo was taken ‘before items were removed’ from the intended hand luggage.
According to a checked-in bag price breakdown Frontier’s websitethe backpack Shewana took on her travels could have incurred a fee of up to $60 if she checked it.
Since Shewana shared the initial TikTok days ago, the post has racked up nearly one million views and over 100,000 likes.
And newly converted fans of Shewana’s booty-popping travel heel flooded the comments with praise and tickle appreciation for the on-the-go solution.
‘I’m screaming!… I bet they didn’t even question it,’ read one upvoted comment – to which Shewana replied, ‘No,’ along with three laughing face emojis.
“Yeah, the booty isn’t too big for the seat,” someone else added.

Viewers used the comments to praise Shewana for the ingenious quick fix
To this the creator responded affirmatively: ‘Shole is not.’
“When there’s a will, baby make a way… that’s a good one,” praised a third admirer.
“I HUL DEW YEW HEAR ME,” declared one obviously delighted commenter.
“It looks real,” exclaimed one impressed onlooker.
‘Omggg… def gone use this,’ admitted one inspired viewer.
Shewana is far from the first TikTok content creator to see her travel hack go viral after sharing it on the platform.
Earlier this year, frequent flier Steph Gibbs took to TikTok to explain how she pre-orders toiletries from the Boots location at the airport – and simply picks everything up after clearing security rather than worrying about packing the necessities in advance.
