A video that has taken TikTok by storm features two Cubans creatively wrapping their luggage with plastic film right in the middle of an airport. Shared by user @reilan0310, the clip has brought laughter to thousands across social media, showcasing the inventive solutions many travelers from Cuba come up with.

In the footage, the individuals diligently cover their suitcases with layers of plastic, accompanied by the on-screen text: "When you're heading to Cuba and don't do this little task at home." This phrase highlights a common habit among Cubans to safeguard their belongings before a journey, resonating deeply with many viewers who quickly shared their own stories and reactions.

"That's nothing; I packed my stuff in bags and prepared my suitcases at the airport because I didn't have a scale," one user remarked, showing solidarity with the scene. Another chimed in with, "For us, it's all the same," reflecting the carefree attitude many Cubans possess when facing unexpected situations. An additional comment recalled a similar experience in another country: "I did the same thing in Venezuela."

The video has garnered thousands of views and widespread sharing, with comments applauding the ingenuity and creativity of Cubans in overcoming obstacles—even if it means wrapping their bags directly at the airport.
