- To avoid being checked for the last time, you can open your hand baggage and stuff your bag inside, if it is possible. If there is no room for your bag, you should wear your backpack suitably. For example, you should stand behind a group of people to avoid being recognized. Do not stand at the beginning or the end of queuing line, you will be checked easily by airline's staff. If passengers can act more careful, they can get on board easily.

- For those who do not have a suitcase, they can bring a bag and a nylon bag. The bag can weigh 07kg, and the nylon bag can weigh about 3-4 kg.

For alone travelers, they can take both bags to check-in counter, but the smaller one should be hidden. Then, take both bags flexibly and smartly to to avoid being recognized by staff.
