Holidaymaker slammed as 'pathetic' for taking 20 kilos of weights on his flight

Rob Adcock, a 31-year-old content creator from Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire, booked a day trip with a pal to Krakow, Poland via Wizz Air from London Luton Airport to watch a football match, returning the following day.
Adcock decided to fill his 20kg baggage allowance with weights in a 'petty' protest because he felt 'irked and annoyed' that the Wizz Air flight booking system only offered tickets that included 20kg of baggage, even though he didn't need it.
Adcock, who considers himself a 'petty individual', was annoyed at having to pay for something he didn't need, leading him to create a TikTok video of his stunt that gained over 670,000 views.
Adcock stated, "Just the idea of paying for something that I was never going to use just really irked me and at the time I didn't need it, that's what annoyed me," and felt it was unfair to pay £266 for the ticket.
Wizz Air, which identifies as an ultra-low-cost carrier, stated that the basic fare doesn't include hold baggage but was available as part of a Wizz Air package that the customer chose, also noting that tickets are subject to dynamic pricing and are based on demand, encouraging customers to book in advance, especially during peak travel periods, which was the case in this instance.
