Don't Wear Your Closet on the Plane

While we're on the topic of headlines, here's another one that caught my eye from the New York Post:

                                        Traveler arrested at airport for wearing too many clothes
 
"A man traveling from Iceland to England was arrested at the Iceland Keflavík International Airport for attempting to avoid an excess luggage fee by wearing eight pairs of pants and 10 shirts.

"Ryan Carney Williams, who goes by Ryan Hawaii, reportedly was denied a boarding pass at the British Airways desk for his flight home after he put on all his clothes that wouldn’t fit properly in his checked luggage."

You have to give the guy points for creativity. But that's what all these extra airline fees have driven people to: The cost of your baggage could be more than the cost of your seat. 

The story goes on to say it was his alleged rudeness, not over-dressing, that led to the actions taken. I just wonder how the guy would enjoy the flight wearing a dozen layers of clothing?

Of course, it's not the first time we've seen this happen. Remember Joey and this scene from "Friends"?
