Man wears 8 pairs of pants, 10 shirts; gets arrested

London resident Ryan Williams, AKA Ryan Hawaii, posted videos to his Twitter account in which he claimed he was denied access to a British Airways flight departing Keflavik Airport on 10 January after taking multiple items of clothing from his luggage - including eight pairs of trousers and 10 shirts - and wearing them in an effort to avoid baggage fees. "Racial profiling?", he tweeted.
Sadly for Mr Hawaii the ordeal did not end there after he was turned away from a second flight with EasyJet the following day.
One British Airways passenger tried to skirt all the fees in a unique way: he chose to wear all his clothes on board rather than putting them in a bag, The Washington Post reports.
Ryan also claimed he was "arrested and maced" during the 11 January incident.

Although he was not aboard the flight, Williams said his belongings were flown to England.
According to authorities, he managed to put on eight pairs of jeans and ten shirts - not once, but TWICE over two days.

He explained the full story on Twitter earlier today: "Arrived to airport in Iceland with no luggage on my booking".
