Holidaymakers rush to buy half price Antler cabin case 'perfect' for easyJet passengers
The iconic British heritage brand Antler has been lauded by travel experts for striking "the sweet spot between affordable and aspirational," with their "lust-worthy" luggage that marries style with functionality. While Antler suitcases aren't exactly budget-friendly, the brand assures they're a long-term investment, featuring clever design, high-quality materials and a lifetime warranty.
With the Antler Summer Sale now in full swing, savvy jet-setters can save up to 50% off on premium suitcases and cabin bags. One particularly impressive highlight of the sale is the Soft Stripe Underseat Cabin Case, that comes in a choice of black, blue, or green colourways.
Originally priced at £130, this deceptively spacious case has been slashed to just £65. With dimensions of 45 x 35 x 20 cm, it's an ideal pick for travellers departing from UK airports being within the under-seat cabin bag allowances of major airlines, including budget favourites Ryanair and easyJet (although additional fees may be applicable).
It's dimensions also allows passengers to dodge overhead storage charges with certain airlines. As always, passengers are advised to verify their baggage allowance prior to departure.
The Soft Stripe Underseat Cabin Case is a sleek, compact solution for regular travellers. Crafted to slide effortlessly under most airline seats, it provides ample space for overnight essentials or brief weekend escapes, reports Derbyshire Live.
As part of Antler's Soft Stripe range, the case is made from fully recycled, ultra-lightweight polyester. A standout feature is its double-layered front pocket, perfect for storing laptops and tablets, or keeping travel essentials within easy reach.
Despite its slim profile, it boasts a robust structure that helps protect your belongings while on the move. It also features an adjustable four-stage handle, smooth-rolling inline wheels and a TSA-approved combination lock for added safety and security.
For those needing extra space, the Soft Stripe Medium Case offers ample room without sacrificing style. Originally priced at £220, it's now up for grabs at just £132.
While the Antler Underseat is a steal at £65, it might not meet everyone's travel requirements. Other highly-rated alternatives include the Samsonite Litebeam, currently on sale on Amazon with prices starting from £88.50
Another top choice is the Beis Mini Roller, a chic, compact cabin case lauded by savvy travellers. Although it retails at £193, many shoppers see it as a worthwhile investment, describing it as the "perfect size" and "surprisingly spacious."
For a more budget-friendly option, the Nere Stori Cabin Case is a fabulous choice. Available in a range of striking colours, it has garnered an impressive 4.7 out of five-star rating from customers and is now available with up to 40% off selected styles.
Customers who have snapped up the Soft Stripe Underseat are raving about it, giving it a stellar 4.8 out of five stars. One customer said: "After lugging heavy bags around with me for years, this under-seat case has been a game changer! Fits perfectly under seats (even budget airlines), looks great and has really helpful compartments. 10/10."
Another added: " Beautifully made small under seat case which was perfect for my carry on luggage. Easy to pull around and the storage compartments are just perfect for everything I needed. So pleased that I bought this."
A third shopper was particularly taken with the quality of the case, saying: "I tried an alternative brand recently, to use as an under-seat bag, but the adjustable handle broke after a single use. This bag is much better quality. As an added (unforeseen) bonus the adjustable handle is longer than on my previous case. I will no longer have to slightly stoop over when pulling it through the airport."
One buyer described it as " perfect for under the seat on EasyJet and ideal for overnight stays," adding "should last a good number of years. Especially like the laptop compartment."
While the majority of reviews are positively beaming, one traveller did highlight a small hiccup: "Well made and ideal for the cabin. Only one issue, when moving the zips around the corner of the bag, you sometimes have to manoeuvre carefully or it stops moving."

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the shocking moment a female Ryanair passenger is left sobbing on her knees after being banned from boarding her flight. The tearful woman was left hitting a door in an emotional outburst as airport staff reportedly told her that her hand luggage was too big. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 A female Ryanair passenger was filmed crying and begging on her knees to be allowed to board a plane after staff banned her over her luggage Credit: Facebook/Nikolay Stefanov 6 She was left screaming, sobbing and venting her frustration over Ryanair's strict baggage policy Credit: Facebook/Nikolay Stefanov 6 Footage shows her trying to force her bag into the luggage rack by slamming it in after being told she had to pay extra Credit: Facebook/Nikolay Stefanov 6 Onlookers were also shocked by how the staff treated her with next to no compassion Credit: Facebook/Nikolay Stefanov Chaos unfolded at Sofia Airport in Bulgaria when the woman was left screaming, sobbing and venting her frustration over Ryanair's strict baggage policy. A packed flight was due to board a bus to their plane when the female passenger was stopped in the queue. Nikolay Stefanov, a witness to the shocking ordeal, said the woman was told she had to pay for extra baggage because her luggage didn't fit in the holdall. The woman refused to pay as she explained her bag could in fact fit. Footage shows her trying to force her bag into the luggage rack by slamming it in. The bag does eventually fit but the staff still refuse to let her board. She then breaks down in tears as she pleads with a member of the border police and takes a video of the bag which is now wedged inside the rack. Dozens of the passengers were seen watching on from behind a glass door which was all that separated them from the weeping woman. Determined to board, she then starts to bang on the door and ask for help as Nikolay films the sad ordeal. More staff quickly surround the woman as her begging grows louder. Moment Brit woman is dragged off Ryanair flight & thrown to floor after 'assaulting passengers and making bomb threat' At one point she even drops to her knees before placing her hand on the door as tears roll down her face. Nikolay said the whole situation "escalated quickly". He added: "She was pleading with us not to leave, but we were threatened that the entire flight would be cancelled if we didn't get on the bus, so passengers became frightened and left." Nikolay said many onlookers were also shocked by how the staff treated her with next to no compassion. It has also been claimed that another passenger stood behind the woman in line was removed from the flight. A Ryanair staff member allegedly said that they couldn't let him on because "reopening the gate risked the woman trying to get on the bus". The viral footage soon caught the eye of Bulgaria's parliament. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Grozdan Karadjov has reportedly ordered an inspection of the airport's security cameras. Mr Karadjov is even said to have described the behaviour of employees in the video as "outrageous", reports. He has assured people that the main ground operator will be found and given the "highest fine" and a verbal warning. In response, Goldair Handling Bulgaria insisted their employees acted "professionally and without any physical contact with the passenger". The handling company released a statement to BNT News that read: "All rules regarding passengers' baggage, its permissible size and the fees payable for baggage are determined solely, entirely and unilaterally by the airlines. "Goldair Handling Bulgaria OOD is solely obliged to monitor compliance with these rules by the airlines. "This also applies to hand luggage, as Goldair Handling Bulgaria OOD is obliged to monitor the dimensions of this baggage and collect excess baggage fees. "[Staff] acted professionally and without any physical contact with the passenger." It comes as Ryanair's CEO is considering increasing bonuses paid to staff for spotting oversized luggage. The budget airline currently pays staff approximately €1.50 (£1.30) for stopping passengers with oversized bags from boarding the aircraft. Currently, staff bonuses for doing this are capped at €80 (£70) a month. Passengers who are unlucky enough to get caught out by the airline's staff are charged a fee of up to €75 (£65) for bringing luggage that is larger than they paid for while booking their journey. 6 The passenger was left hitting the door where the other passengers were waiting to board Credit: Facebook/Nikolay Stefanov

An American woman has said she's finally come to understand why Brits have a favourite service station after visiting a Welcome Break in the UK she compared to a theme park UK service stations are typically quite basic, offering a couple of eateries, a shop and toilets for travellers in need of a rest on the motorway. However, one Welcome Break UK services is drawing visitors from far and wide. An American woman was left astounded after her recent visit at the Yorkshire service station, describing it as "exquisite".

The Mediterranean island that Brits don't know about with spectacular beaches and it's loved by Italians
Plus, how to get there for under £10 IN THE MED The Mediterranean island that Brits don't know about with spectacular beaches and it's loved by Italians Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MANY holidaymakers will jet off to Italy over the summer - but few know an underrated island so special even locals gush about it. Places like Sicily will always be popular with British holidaymakers, though if you speak to Italians its the Aegadian Islands they will be heading for. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 The island of Favignana is the largest in the Aegadian Islands Credit: Alamy 5 You'll find amazing beaches with bright blue seas Credit: Alamy In total there are five Aegadian Islands, but only three are inhabited - Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo. Favignana is the largest of three main islands and from above is shaped like a butterfly. It's known for its blue and white fishing harbour and narrow streets. It's small, too, so there's no need to hire a car - you can cycle or walk around to see the towns or go to the beach. Another option is to take one of the many boat day trips to take a tour of the island. You'll see loads of coves and even go to the neighbouring island of Levanzo. Some of the most popular beaches on the island are Cala Rossa, Cala Azzurra, Bue Marino and Lido Burrone. One visitor said about Lido Burrone: "The crystal-clear water and white sand make it one of Favignana's most interesting beaches. It feels like being in the Caribbean." Another described Cala Rossa as a "blue dream" with spectacular sea and white sand. The beach is a recommended place for seeing marine life, as it's full of fish and a popular snorkelling spot. For any history buffs, Favignana was once the tuna capital of the world because of its tuna fisheries. 'Otherworldly' Italian island just three hours from the UK that featured in two huge Hollywood franchises 5 There are lots of restaurants, cafes and food stops around the island Credit: Alamy 5 You can easily explore the island by bike or foot In the 15th century, the island was ruled by Giovanni de Karissima who was also known as the 'Baron of Tuna". When it comes to where to eat on the island, you're most definitely spoilt for choice. There's plenty of seafood dishes thanks to its island location, as well as pasta, arancini and panelle. You don't have to eat at a restaurant either, there are plenty of markets and little takeaway shacks if you fancy something more causal. There are bars dotted around the island so whether you seek shade in the towns or full sun on the beach, you can always find somewhere to have a refreshing drink. When it comes to venturing there, Favignana is 10 miles from Sicily and is easily accessible by ferry. You can travel from Trapani to Favignana all year round and in the high season there are 25 crossings a day. The trip can take up to 1 hour and 10 minutes, with tickets starting at €10 (£8.68). Or you can hop from Marsala to Favignana which has five daily crossings and is generally quicker taking 30 minutes per trip. The ticket prices start at €13 (£11.29). Here's another Italian island that's loved by celebs and the royal family - it has hidden beaches and holiday villages. And you can visit this largely untouched Italian island with red sand beaches.
