Holidaymakers rush to buy half price Antler cabin case 'perfect' for easyJet passengers

Daily Mirror7 days ago
Shoppers have been praising the Antler case that "fits under seats" and "feels like top quality"
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."

New study reveals the cities where Brits have most disposable income in 2025

Link is copied Comments If you're coupled up in the UK, some cities will be kinder to you financially. That's according to new research from specialist mortgage lender Pepper Money, anyway. The company recently conducted a study to find where British couples have the least and most disposable income, and you'll be surprised by the results. While a northern gem came out on top, other cities - that are renowned for being pricey - also fared particularly well (Picture: Getty Images) Pepper Money explained that, while wages across the UK are rising, many Brits are finding they have less money left at the end of the month in certain areas. This means the average Brit's disposable income is shrinking, despite a national living wage increase and higher median salaries. The research - based on couples who own a home together - looked at essential outgoings such as mortgages, utility bills, and car finance, plus average wages. With all of these paid off, they then did the math to find out how much each couple was left with at the end of the month. Curious about how your home city fares in terms of disposable income? Here are the top 10 cities: (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,304.13 Total bills: £1,418 Average disposable income available: £886.51 At number 10 is Manchester, which has an affordable cost of living, especially when compared to other large cities like London. Student accommodation site uhomes ranked Manchester the 13th cheapest place to live in the UK. In 2024, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported that the average house price in the northern city is £257,000. So, for couples with more money to burn at the end of the month, Manchester is a great place to spend it (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,334.59 Total bills: £1,400 Average disposable income available: £934.48 Next up is Leeds, a major city in West Yorkshire. While it's not the cheapest place to live, it is considered generally more affordable than other major cities. In May 2025, the ONS revealed that the average house price here is £241,000. From exploring the historic Kirkgate Market to grabbing cocktails at one of the many indie bars, there's a lot to spend your extra cash on in Leeds (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,352.12 Total bills: £1,381 Average disposable income available: £971.33 The third northern (and second Yorkshire) city to make the list is Sheffield. The cost of living is significantly lower than Manchester's - according to the Sheffield College, it's 10% lower than the national average, and 25% lower than London. House prices here average at £221,000 as of January 2025 (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,226.75 Total bills: £1,248 Average disposable income available: £978.80 Liverpool has so much going for it. From the iconic Docks to delving into the music scene at the Cavern Club, there's never a dull moment in the city. And, there's always an activity to spend your cash on. Expatistan estimates the cost of living in Liverpool is 47% cheaper than London, while house prices average around £180,000. This is way cheaper than the previous fellow northern cities on this list (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,257.82 Total bills: £1,241 Average disposable income available: £1,016.72 Further down south to the Midlands now, and Nottingham has come in at a respectable sixth place. According to whatuni, the cost of living in Nottingham is quite close to the national average, but is around 18% cheaper than London. But, Rightmove prices houses a little higher, at £265,448 on average. With couples having over a grand to spend per month, it's worth checking out Nottingham Castle, the City of Caves, and the Old Market Square (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,120.69 Total bills: £1,100 Average disposable income available: £1,020.95 In 2024, the cost of living in Belfast was around 37% lower than in London. As of the first quarter of 2024, the average house price in Northern Ireland's capital was approximately £216,098. There's so much to do in Belfast that suits every kind of person, from taking part in a seisiún (traditional Irish music session) in a local pub to diving into the city's history at Belfast City Hall. Or, experiencing the vibrant atmosphere of St. George's Market (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,439.84 Total bills: £1,300 Average disposable income available: £1,140.18 Glasgow is considered to be more affordable than Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, and the UK's capital in general. Living in Glasgow is, on average, 20% cheaper than in London and 10% cheaper than the rest of the UK. House prices are also way more affordable, coming in at £188,000 as per the ONS. And, with almost £1,200 to spare after monthly outgoings, couples can enjoy the best of the Scottish city. The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the Riverside Museum, and strolling through the Glasgow Botanic Gardens are highlights. Glasgow also has a thriving nightlife ready and waiting for you to splash the cash, too (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,760.42 Total bills: £1,581 Average disposable income available: £1,179.25 Considering Edinburgh is renowned for being an incredibly expensive city, it's quite shocking to see it offering one of the highest disposable incomes in the UK. In 2023, it was actually named the third most expensive city to live in in the UK. Still, for home-owning couples (the average price sits at around £295,000), Edinburgh is a vibrant city that can provide a high standard of living. From the annual Fringe festival, exploring Edinburgh Castle to taking part in a Scotch Whisky Experience, there's never a dull moment in the Scottish capital (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,671.22 Total bills: £1,340 Average disposable income available: £1,331.11 At number two is Coventry, where couples have over £1,300 to fritter away each month. In contrast to Edinburgh, the cost of living is a lot lower here. So are house prices, averaging around £224,000. Though Coventry isn't considered a 'day tripping' kind of town, it has a lot to offer residents. This includes Coventry Cathedral and FarGo Village, the city's creative quarter (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,775.69 Total bills: £1,304 Average disposable income available: £1,471.27 Last but not least, it's Newcastle. With almost £1,500 of disposable income for couples, the city can be enjoyed without having to stress too much about money. Not only this, but Newcastle is known for being quite an affordable place to live: it's 23.0% less expensive than London, and has an average house price of £237,760. So, what can you spend your hard-earned cash on? Why not catch a show at the Theatre Royal, immerse yourself in live music at the Glasshouse International Centre for Music, or take a guided tour of Victoria Tunnel, a preserved 19th-century coal waggonway and wartime air-raid shelter. Even walking through the cobbled streets of Newcastle, and hopping into one of the many restaurants and bars, is a lovely way to while away your spare time (Picture: Getty Images)

As for the interior, think thick red carpets, velvet stools, black walls and dim lighting.

The Cricketers Inn is possibly the oldest pub in Brighton having been around since 1547.

After going on a romantic escape to Venice with his boyfriend, Ross Whyatt decided to return the favour by booking them on a Gavin and Stacey tour in Wales. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 The couple had just returned from a romantic getaway to Venice Credit: Jam Press/@whyitsross 5 Their next trip took them much closer to home, to Wales Credit: Jam Press/@whyitsross Ross had just spent a relaxing weekend basking in the sunshine, sipping on Aperol Spritz and eating delicious pizza. He was taken to the Italian city as a treat by his boyfriend, Riccardo Gugliermini. As it goes in relationships Ross decided to do something equally as thoughtful in return - and decided to book a trip to Barry in Wales. The pair had become big fans after watching the final episode at Christmas. Ross revealed to What's The Jam that they binged the whole series and as Riccardo had been "quoting it all year" it only felt right to visit. Ross took to social media to document their experience revealing that on the tour, a knock-off version of Nessa welcomes guests on board a coach. And they recite Smithy's very lengthy Indian takeaway order. There's even a group sing-along to gets spirits high, and Riccardo showed off his Pam Shipman top. It turned out not that many people knew about the tour with one commenting on Ross' video: "Omg, I had no idea you could do a Gav and Stace tour with Nessa, this is mint."

'It's part of the fun of being in a multicultural relationship, I'm slowly learning Italian and enjoying his cooking. I've introduced him to Greggs, Yorkshire puddings and a chippy tea. 'I'm also getting him into other British comedy classics, like Outnumbered, Peep Show and The Inbetweeners. But Gavin and Stacey is his favourite." Although Ross admitted that he'd rather do a week in Venice over a day out in Barry, Riccardo disagreed. For anyone who wants to head over to do Barry to do some film location sight-seeing themselves, make sure to visit Trinity Street in Barry is home to the homes of Gwen, Uncle Bryn, and Doris. On Barry Island itself there's the famous Marco's Cafe and the arcade where Nessa worked the slots. Up the road is The Colcot Arms aka Smithy's local Essex hangout and of course the Tadross Hotel which doubles as The Dolphin. Here's more about Barry from a local who lived there before it was made famous by Gavin and Stacey. She reveals more about what Barry was like in the days of the Butlin's resort on Nell's Point Here's even more on Barry Island which is loved by huge Hollywood star has beachfront theme park and new attraction.
