Unexpected luggage comments on a flight

I once had a passenger who insisted their oversized bag was a ‘companion animal.’ It sparked a hilarious debate on whether baggage fees should apply to it. Have you ever had a funny encounter with a passenger trying to sneak something through?

I’ve definitely seen creative attempts to avoid baggage fees! :luggage: Had a guy once try to pass off a giant potted plant as his emotional support buddy. What’s the funniest thing you’ve witnessed sneaking by?
