In a post on Instagram, Hannah explained why she took her tote bag and how she managed to fit everything in.

She wrote: Luggage add-ons are EXPENSIVE so when I flew to Copenhagen for three nights I went with just an under-seat bag to avoid any extra charges. Here’s what I packed in my bag.

“I stuffed two beanie hats, my eye mask and all my underwear into my boots.

“And then rolled up three midi dresses.

“I packed an oversized tee as pyjamas.

“And then a small pouch for dry/powder make-up as well as sunglasses and my toothbrush, as well as liquids (which I transferred into a plastic bag at the airport).

“Then two long sleeve tops to act as thermal layers. as well as a hairbrush, a book and my electronics.

“I put my laptop in my friend’s suitcase and just brought one jacket and jumper with me, which I wore on the plane.

“I wore a bumbag at the airport for passport, phone, wallet and keys.

“And also added my water bottle and reusable coffee cup.

“I think it was a success. I was allowed on the plane, had everything I needed and didn’t lose anything.”

People were impressed with Hannah’s packing skills.

One wrote: “I am so impressed! I could fill one of those bags for a trip out for a few hours.

“I am not a light packer but admire anyone that can do it!”

Another said: “Wow, that’s impressive!

“My motto is ‘I’d rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it!’ Which ultimately means I always overpack.”
