They told her to ascertain the bag — she checked them as an alternative.
A fierce flyer goes viral for muscling her suitcase right into a carry-on sizer at a European airport — leaving airline staff stunned when the bag actually fit.
The now-legendary shove got here courtesy of TikTok user Arina (@summermken_official), who posted a video of herself forcefully wedging her luggage right into a metal bag checker on the Vueling counter during a recent flight from Paris to London.
“Never quit, a minimum of not on the sake of €200,” she wrote within the caption — and the web agreed.
The clip has racked up greater than 10 million views because it was posted on July 22.
“They asked me to position my bag within the checker to substantiate it met size requirements,” Arina told Newsweek.
“It seemed that they were just suspicious of the scale of my bag because it didn’t appear to be carry-on luggage.”
The Spanish low-cost carrier, like many budget airlines, has earned a status for eagle-eyed enforcement of size rules — and for slapping on sky-high baggage fees.
Vueling charges as much as €88 (about $96) on the airport in case your bag doesn’t fit their requirements.
“I used to be 100% sure that it could fit […] plus I measured it before buying and it fit the standards of the corporate,” she told the outlet.
What followed was a now-iconic suitcase showdown: Arina is seen within the clip straining to push her bag into the checker — after which yanking it out with just as much effort.
The Vueling worker? Gobsmacked.
“She seemed quite surprised that the suitcase actually fit,” Arina said. “She said, with real shock, that I should be very strong… she clearly didn’t expect it to suit in any respect.”
TikTokers applauded her persistence — and side-eyed the airline.
“Her face, that’s ‘I told you’ face,” wrote one viewer within the comments section.
“She’s so real for that,” one other chimed in.
“Bro that’s small carry-on too, I hate airlines,” added a further user.
As previously reported by The Post, one Ryanair passenger broke down in tears this week at Sofia Airport after being denied boarding when her bag wouldn’t fit the airline’s size limits.
Despite shoving it into the sizer, she refused to pay extra, pleaded with border police, and ultimately collapsed to her knees sobbing as staff looked on.
Overall, in the case of budget flights, it’s bend or break — and these women did each.
