Packing for a holiday can sometimes turn out to be a stressful process as you frantically make sure you have everything on your list before you leave.
Not to mention the fear that your luggage could exceed your weight restriction. However, the problems you have encountered with your luggage are slight compared to the wacky items these passengers tried to get through customs.
Research by Virgin Atlantic has revealed the weirdest things passengers have attempted to check-in on flights, here are some of the strangest ones.
1. Live fish
A passenger on a flight to Barbados attempted to check-in four live goldfish in a plastic bag filled with water.
2. A fridge
At Nevada airport, someone tried to check-in an entire fridge freezer. Perhaps they still had leftovers?

Tyres are actually a common discovery in people’s luggage, especially on flights from Lagos. A passenger also tried to fly a car bumper from London Heathrow.
4. Bed head
On a flight from Delhi, a group of travellers attempted to check-in the headboard of a bed. The survey also found that brooms are a popular check in item in that region.
