Antler's sale axes 'biggest carry-on' cabin bags for Jet2 and Ryanair flyers by £75
Antler, the renowned high-end luggage label, is all set for the rest of the travel season, as top items from its latest Icon Collection land on the retailer's massive summer sale. Boasting an impressive 110 years of excellence, the iconic British brand described last summer's Icon collection as "the perfect combination of style and practicality."
This range is crafted to suit every kind of trip, whether it's a luxurious long-haul or a swift city break. It includes three distinctive styles: the Icon Stripe Suitcase, Soft Stripe Suitcase, and Discovery Backpack.
The Icon Stripe Suitcase, in particular, is causing quite a stir among Antler enthusiasts as it's touted as the "biggest cabin bag" that still meets the size requirements of popular airlines Ryanair, EasyJet, and Jet2. What's more, the Icon Stripe cabin case is currently up for grabs with a major discount.
The Icon Stripe Cabin Bag is quite roomy, measuring 39.5 x 58 x 24 cm and weighing a mere 2.8kg. This ensures it fits snugly in the overhead compartments of several budget airlines, helping jet-setters dodge those pesky extra luggage fees at the airport while providing ample space for all their essentials on their next weekend break.
For those who often need more packing space when prepping for a trip, the Icon Stripe's generous 55L main compartment will be a godsend. The well-equipped interior features a lining, dual-zip pockets, and compression straps to keep belongings secure.
Crafted from top-quality recycled polycarbonate, the Icon Stripe is incredibly sturdy and can handle any airport mishaps or bumping around in the luggage compartment. Plus, it's waterproof, so there's no need to worry about water damage inside the airport or as you make the trip from the airport to your hotel.
Not only is it resilient, but this case also glides effortlessly around the airport thanks to its Silent Glide 360 spinner wheels, so you can wave goodbye to the grating sound of rattling wheels or the uncomfortable rocking of uneven wheels as you traverse to your gate. The handle also boasts a bespoke comfort grip.
Now reduced to £111, this cabin case comes in a wide range of colours—with alternative-size models available if you'd like to secure the whole set or something bigger to meet your needs—but it's worth noting that the Dune Yellow hue is currently boasting the massive £75 discount.
This cabin bag has amassed a majorly impressive 4.9 out of 5-star rating from thrilled Antler shoppers. One buyer beams: "Great purchase. Light and the wheels are amazing. Glides on its own."
Further accolades come from this shopper who shares: "A perfect suitcase - you know you're getting old when you ask for a new suitcase for your birthday but I am delighted and now want the bigger one!"
A third shares the same sentiments, gushing: "Literally cannot fault this bag in any way. Obviously it's small, but it fits the dimensions for Ryanair flights perfectly too. 10/10."
And a fourth chimes in: "Having to use a carry on for the first time ever I was really pleased with the space inside. It has been well thought out with three useful pockets. I got far more in than I thought I would be able to and even have space left over to pop in some gifts for people when I return. Gorgeous colour and so easy to set the lock code. Looking forward to using it shortly for my trip."
Though one customer leaves a slightly disheartened 4-star review, noting: "The colour was a little dingier than the sunshine pale lemon I was expecting," that said, they do go on to say this: " but I cannot fault the build and quality. Looking forward to airing her out very shortly!"
If you'd rather shop elsewhere and don't mind splashing some cash, check out Kapten & Son's Heathrow Essential Cabin Case for £189.90.
Or, if you're keeping to a smaller budget, take a peek at this AVIO Underseat Cabin Bag perfect for easyJet and Wizz Air customers without paying extra for luggage, that's up for grabs on Amazon for £22.60.
For something offering a little more personality, Nere's vibrant gelato-inspired cabin range is surely one to bring a smile to shoppers. This is the brand's lightest hard suitcase, engineered with a scratch-resistant PP hard shell for stress-free travel, and it sells for £59.40.

Ryanair passengers warned as strikes loom at multiple holiday airports
The action is expected to affect thousands of British holidaymakers, with travellers urged to check their insurance policies as they may not be covered for delays, cancellations or being stranded With just a week left before widespread strikes kick off at 12 airports across Spain, British holidaymakers are being advised to review their insurance policies in light of potential delays, cancellations, or the risk of being stranded overseas. More than 3,000 baggage handlers from Azul Handling, which provides services for Ryanair flights, are set to strike at 12 of Spain's busiest airports starting from August 15, as highlighted by experts at Forum Insurance. The airports facing disruption include Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Alicante, Ibiza, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Tenerife South, Girona, Lanzarote, and Santiago de Compostela. The walkouts are planned for August 15, 16, and 17 during three critical time windows: 5am to 9am, 12pm to 3pm, and 9pm to 11.59pm. The industrial action is then slated to continue every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the remainder of the year. The union has cited poor working conditions and violations of labour rights as the reasons behind the strikes. This comes at a time when summer holidays are at their peak, potentially impacting thousands of Brits travelling to Spain. José Manuel Pérez Grande, federal secretary of the FeSMC-UGT air union, said: "Azul Handling maintains a strategy of precariousness and pressure on the workforce that violates basic labour rights and systematically ignores union demands." However, a spokesperson for Ryanair has downplayed concerns, stating: "Ryanair does not expect any disruption to our operation as a result of these third-party handling strikes in Spain." Advice for travellers affected by Spanish airport strikes Niraj Mamtora, director at Forum Insurance, explained: "Standard travel insurance policies often exclude airspace disruptions, so you should never assume that you're covered for events like strikes, airport closures or air traffic control outages. To protect yourself, look for a policy that offers 'travel disruption' or 'airspace closure' as an optional extra or higher-tier feature." He continued: "Travel disruption insurance can cover you if your flight is cancelled or delayed due to strikes or airspace closures, and may reimburse you for unused travel and accommodation, enforced stays abroad, or extra expenses if you're stranded and no suitable alternative transport is available for more than 24 hours." The insurance expert added: "Even when the disruption is caused by ground staff, such as baggage handlers, it can still affect flights and fall under certain travel disruption or airspace closure clauses, depending on the policy wording." Mamtora cautioned: "Always check your policy wording carefully. Some insurers require that the disruption be unexpected and not known at the time you book or buy your policy. If you travel against official advice, or if the event was foreseeable, you may not be covered." Already booked but unsure if you're covered? Niraj added: "First, check your existing policy documents carefully. Some standard travel insurance plans may offer limited protection for delays or missed departures, even if they don't specifically mention airspace closure. Look for sections on 'travel disruption' or 'missed departure' to see if any cover applies. "If your policy doesn't include this, contact your airline or travel provider directly. Airlines are often obliged to offer rebooking, refunds, or care such as meals and accommodation. Package holiday providers may also be responsible for rearranging your travel or offering compensation. "For future trips, consider adding 'travel disruption' or 'airspace closure' cover as an optional extra. It's a small investment that can save you significant stress and cost if the unexpected happens again." Practical advice for holidaymakers Niraj has also provided further guidance for those heading to Spain later this month: Examine your policy paperwork immediately. Even if you believe you have coverage, the small print, exclusions and terms are crucial. Those who have recently booked their getaway or insurance should note that insurers might refuse to cover disruption from industrial action that was already publicly announced. Verify whether the strike qualifies as a 'known event' according to your policy. Get in touch with your airline or tour operator promptly if you're scheduled to fly during strike periods. Whilst many companies have contingency measures ready, swift action on your part is essential. Hold on to receipts for any additional expenses incurred due to delays, as they may be required if you decide to make a claim. If possible, try to plan your travel outside of the anticipated strike periods to minimise the risk of disruption. In case your flight is delayed and you miss a subsequent journey or prepaid transfer, your insurance might only cover this if it includes missed connection or onward travel protection. It's always wise to read the small print. Niraj advised: "Travel disruption cover usually doesn't allow you to cancel your holiday just because of expected delays. Claims are typically only accepted for specific costs you've incurred due to confirmed disruption."

Beautiful UK resort dubbed the 'Queen of seaside towns' during summer
A picturesque British seaside resort has it all - from a stunning bay and pristine beaches to a charming town filled with independent shops, and a history dating back to the Iron Age Boasting a broad bay, shimmering turquoise waters, a rich history tracing back to the Iron Age, and a town brimming with delightful independent shops, this coastal resort has plenty to offer. Nestled on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, Swanage caters to all tastes, whether you fancy sunning yourself on Swanage Beach, trekking along the Jurassic Coast, perusing local art galleries, savouring fresh seafood at quayside cafés, or enjoying a traditional Punch and Judy show right on the beach. Swanage perfectly blends age-old tradition with relaxed coastal allure. Its Victorian pier, heritage railway, and plethora of listed buildings lend the town an unmatched charm, while the bay and beach are undoubtedly among Swanage's most prized assets. It comes after reports of a small fishing village with some of the UK's best seafood but hardly any tourists. In 2024, for the 23rd consecutive year, Swanage Beach was honoured with both the Blue Flag and Seaside Award, a testament to its golden sands, pristine environment, and crystal-clear water, reports the Express. The dramatic chalk formations of Old Harry Rocks, marking the eastern end of the Jurassic Coast, provide awe-inspiring views over the sea. Whether you choose to reach them by hiking the picturesque coastal path from Swanage or embarking on a boat trip from the bay, a visit to Old Harry Rocks is an unforgettable experience and an absolute must for any first-time visitor to the area. Swanage, once a humble port and quarry town, has blossomed into a seaside gem, hailed by The Telegraph as the "queen of seaside resorts". It boasts a plethora of activities, steeped in history and natural allure. One visitor couldn't help but sing Swanage's praises on TripAdvisor, highlighting its "all independent" shops. They commented: "Lovely beach. Nice and clean and a sea to die for. Perfect for everyone as it's a shallow walk into a very clear and calm sea. It's a bit busier near the town where the shops, bars/pubs, cafes and restaurants are." Adding: "The town is super. Spoilt for choice of shops to eat or drink and buy something from. Best bit is it's ALL independent shops, bars and cafes and NO branded names." Another traveller captivated by Swanage's charm, noted: "So many beautiful sites in and around Swanage, historical, thatched villages, the splendid ruins of Corfe Castle, and gorgeous sunsets over the bay." Another TripAdvisor enthusiast also shared their experience of Old Harry Rocks: "Beautiful natural feature that was relatively tourist-free. The one-mile walk from the National Trust car park was very pretty along a cleared footpath through ferns, trees and shrubs." They added: "There's a flowering meadow on the cliffs overlooking Old Harry with views across to Bournemouth. There's a cafe and pub close to the National Trust car park. Loved this walk!!"
