An Australian teen has been slapped with a $65 fine after she attempted to avoid paying airline baggage fees by wearing as many as 13 pounds of clothing. The video of the same has gone viral on social media platforms and shows the girl wearing the clothes whilst laughing hysterically. Nineteen-year-old Adriana Ocampo pulled the hack during a Jetstar Airways flight from Melbourne to her hometown of Adelaide after she had gone for a girls' trip with her friend Emily Altamura. However, prior to boarding the departure flight, she knew she had exceeded the airline's 15-pound limit after seeing the staff pull out a trolley with a scale. To game the system, both teenage friends draped themselves in layers of clothing, hoping that the airport crew would not have the time to check or notice their uncanny size. “We thought the only way we can take the weight off our bags is if we put it on ourselves so we started putting on our jackets and coats,” Ocampo was quoted as saying by South West News Service.

I’m small and petite but I looked like the exact opposite,” added Ocampo while her friend also started wearing the clothes. “Besides the layers of jackets and jumpers, I had baggy trousers on and I was stuffing t-shirts and my iPad in them. I had about six layers on and stuff in my pockets.” ALSO READ | Plus-sized influencer starts petition for free and extra seats on airlines Ocampo said by the time she was done wearing the clothes, she was totally hysterical and looked like Augustus Gloop from “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.” Authorities impose fine The authorities saw right through their hack and fined them $65. “Everyone in line was staring at us and laughing at us, it was kind of embarrassing. People were annoyed that we were holding the plane up.” To make matters worse, the airport crew forced the duo to endure the 80-minute flight wearing clothing like an attack dog trainer.

Australian teen wears six layers of clothes to avoid baggage fees, gets caught and fined

The Supreme Court today dismissed an appeal by Hotel Leela Venture Ltd and asked it to pay Rs. 258 crore to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) as royalty for possession of its property near Mumbai International Airport.

A bench comprising Justices R F Nariman and Navin Sinha junked the appeal filed by Hotel Leela challenging an order of the division bench of the Delhi High Court.

The court held that there was no infirmity in the High Court order and the appeal filed by Hotel Leela Venture lacked merit.

&quot;The special leave petition is dismissed. Pending applications, if any, shall stand disposed of,&quot; the bench said.

The High Court had in November 2016 upheld its single judge&#39;s decision asking Hotel Leela Venture Ltd to pay Rs. 258 crore to the AAI as royalty.

Hotel Leela had moved the division bench challenging the single judge&#39;s July 15, 2016 verdict setting aside the arbitration award in favour of Leela Venture in 2012.

The arbitration award had declared that payment of royalty by Leela had become impossible and therefore the parties may enter into a new contract in relation to possession of the property.&nbsp;

The arbitrator had discharged Leela from liability of paying the royalty.

While dismissing Leela&#39;s plea, the division bench had said, &quot;The award is perverse and is liable to be set aside&quot;.

AAI, which owned 29,000 square metre of land near Mumbai Airport, had leased two parcels measuring 9,000 sq mt each to Leela Scottish Lace Ltd and Leela Venture Limited. The remaining 11,000 sq mt was initially given on a license to Leela.

The dispute relates to the 11,000 sq mt of land, which was leased to Leela in February 1996 for a period of 30 years for adding a wing of 150 rooms to the existing hotel.
