A travel enthusiast named Laurel, known as @laurel_magin on TikTok, has shared a \u201cgenius\u201d suitcase hack that could save you from experiencing arm ache when wheeling your suitcase through the airport.<\/p>\n
In a popular video on the social media platform, which has received over 200,000 likes, Laurel demonstrates different ways to wheel a suitcase and the best method to prevent injury.<\/p>\n
She said: “So I have a travel hack. So you know the suitcases that have the four wheels, a lot of people push it by their side…<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople think it has four wheels for easy pushing, but I only use the four wheels when I have something else I want to carry to make carrying it easier.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe old-fashioned suitcases that have two wheels when I walk I am always hitting my ankle.”<\/p>\n

One user exclaimed: “Mind blown”, while another hailed it as “genius”.<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> However, not everyone was convinced, as a different TikTok user argued: “I worked for a luggage company when a case has 4 wheels you push it when a case has 2 wheels you pull it.”<\/p>\n Another user warned: “Sooner or later the handle would break because the pressure from the weight distributes worse in that position.”<\/p>\n One indifferent TikTokker commented: “It’s not a travel hack, there are two ways of carrying the suitcase and you choose which one suits you.”<\/p>\n *** An AI tool was used to add an extra layer to the editing process for this story.***<\/strong><\/p>\n
