In the video she said: “Flying with Ryanair? Only allowed a small bag?

“Airport hack! Go to duty free and buy something small. Ask for the biggest bag they have!”

She showed her followers how she put her own belongings into the duty free plastic bag, using it as a clever disguise.

She continued: “Fits everything from my backpack and now I have extra space and they can’t stop me! Saving a fortune.”

This trick allows passengers to buy something small – such as a bottle of water – and then bring more bags onto their flight without being stopped.

Airlines such as Ryanair can’t stop you from bringing duty free shopping bags to your seat, making this a very handy tip from Ms Moore.

Users took to the comments to admire her smart thinking, with one person saying: “Omg this is smart.”

Another person agreed, saying: “Literally do this all the time!”

Other users shared their own hacks, with one person saying: “I just take a jacket and hide a bag underneath it, works every time.”

A fourth person was concerned that the airline would become aware of the money-saving tip, as they jokingly said: “Nooooo don’t give this secret away or they’ll start checking the bag!!!”

Airports are in a state of frenzy amid the recent announcements regarding staff strikes and flight cancellations.

Last week it was told that Heathrow bosses ordered airlines to cancel at least 1,000 more flights, capping the number able to fly each day.

On top of this, Irish holidaymakers were left in disappointment as Aer Lingus cancelled eight flights this weekend.
