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."

Brits urged to do one important thing when flying abroad this summer
Founder of Vidrate, Nick Hird, shares his expert tips for staying hydrated on aeroplanes and beating the heat on holiday - especially if you are keen to drink alcohol British holidaymakers heading to sunny destinations are being advised to keep this one tip top of mind for their health and safety. To ensure you enjoy the summer heat responsibly, a hydration expert shares their best tips to stay safe and comfortable. Nick Hird, founder of Vidrate, shares his tips on how to keep the whole family hydrated while flying, as well as during the rest of your trip. First and foremost, Nick says flying can be more dehydrating than people realise. " Cabin air is far drier than what we're used to as planes are kept at lower humidity levels than a normal room, typically around 10-20% lower," explains Nick. "As a result, your body loses more water through the skin and respiratory system faster, which can lead to a greater risk of dehydration, even on short-haul flights." However, while you may be inclined to gulp down water to reverse the damage Nick says this isn't the solution. 'Drinking large volumes of water in a short amount of time can actually be harmful due to the levels of sodium in your system diluting down to dangerous levels, which can induce nausea and even vomiting in some cases.' He advises air passengers to instead sip on water over a longer period to prevent sodium levels from diluting. Supplementing hydration levels with electrolyte drinks before or during takeoff can also help. Nick also stresses the importance of keeping children hydrated during travel to reduce their risk of travel-related illnesses. He suggests carrying a reusable water bottle as a simple way to promote hydration, keeping it full with 'water, juice or child-safe electrolyte sachets'. 'Another way you can help keep children hydrated is by giving them water rich food to eat, such as watermelon, cucumbers and tomatoes,' says Nick. 'These foods all have over 90% water content, so consuming them can contribute significantly to hydration.' Finally, Nick says you should avoid food and drink that can increase dehydration - though some of these are holiday staples. 'Alcohol, caffeine and sugar all have dehydrating effects, which can be amplified by high temperatures and increased activity levels on holiday,' he explains. However, you don't need to cut these out completely. Instead Nick recommends consuming alcoholic and caffeinated beverages in moderation. 'These should be limited during the day and instead replaced with water or electrolyte drinks to help stay hydrated.' He recommends a practice known as 'zebra striping' if you plan on drinking alcohol on holiday. The practice involves drinking a glass of water for every alcoholic drink you have and alternating between the two. 'This means that whilst the alcohol is having dehydrating effects, the water helps to prevent this from being too severe, helping you to remain hydrated and hopefully help with the hangover the next day too,' Nick concludes.

Starmer to raise Gaza ceasefire and UK steel tariffs in Trump meeting
The Prime Minister will travel to Ayrshire, where the US president is staying at his Turnberry golf resort, for wide-ranging discussions on trade and the Middle East as international alarm grows over starvation in Gaza. The two leaders have built a rapport on the world stage despite their differing political backgrounds, with Mr Trump praising Sir Keir for doing a 'very good job' in office ahead of their talks on Monday. But humanitarian conditions in Gaza and uncertainty over US import taxes on key British goods in America threaten to complicate their bilateral meeting. The US president has been playing golf at his Turnberry resort in Scotland (PA) Peace talks in the Middle East came to a standstill last week after Washington and Israel recalled negotiating teams from Qatar, with White House special envoy Steve Witkoff blaming Hamas for a 'lack of desire' to reach an agreement. Since then, Israel has promised military pauses in three populated areas of Gaza to allow designated UN convoys of aid to reach desperate Palestinians. But the UK, which is joining efforts to airdrop aid into the enclave and evacuate children in need of medical assistance, has said that access to supplies must be 'urgently' widened. In his talks with Mr Trump, Sir Keir will 'welcome the President's administration working with partners in Qatar and Egypt to bring about a ceasefire in Gaza', Number 10 said. 'He will discuss further with him what more can be done to secure the ceasefire urgently, bring an end to the unspeakable suffering and starvation in Gaza and free the hostages who have been held so cruelly for so long.' The leaders will also talk 'one-on-one about advancing implementation of the landmark Economic Prosperity Deal so that Brits and Americans can benefit from boosted trade links between their two countries', it said. The agreement signed at the G7 summit last month slashed trade barriers on goods from both countries. But tariffs for the steel industry, which is of key economic importance to the UK, were left to stand at 25% rather than falling to zero as originally agreed. Concerns had previously been raised that the sector could face a levy of up to 50% – the US's global rate – unless a further agreement was made by July 9, when Mr Trump said he would start implementing import taxes on America's trading partners. But that deadline has been and gone without any concrete update on the status of UK steel. Downing Street said that both sides are working 'at pace' to 'go further to deliver benefits to working people on both sides of the Atlantic' and to give UK industry 'the security it needs'. The two leaders are also expected to discuss the war in Ukraine, which Number 10 said would include 'applying pressure' on Vladimir Putin to end the invasion, before travelling on together for a private engagement in Aberdeen. It comes after Mr Trump announced he had agreed 'the biggest deal ever made' between the US and the European Union after meeting Ursula von der Leyen for high-stakes talks at Turnberry on Sunday. After a day playing golf, the US leader met the President of the EU Commission to hammer out the broad terms of an agreement that will subject the bloc to 15% tariffs on most of its goods entering America. This is lower than a 30% levy previously threatened by the US president. The agreement will include 'zero for zero' tariffs on a number of products including aircraft, some agricultural goods and certain chemicals, as well as EU purchases of US energy worth 750 billion dollars (£558 billion) over three years. Speaking to journalists on Sunday about his meeting with Sir Keir, Mr Trump said: 'We're meeting about a lot of things. We have our trade deal and it's been a great deal. 'It's good for us. It's good for them and good for us. I think the UK is very happy, they've been trying for 12 years to get it and they got it, and it's a great trade deal for both, works out very well. 'We'll be discussing that. I think we're going to be discussing a lot about Israel. 'They're very much involved in terms of wanting something to happen. 'He's doing a very good job, by the way.' Mr Trump's private trip to the UK comes ahead of a planned state visit in September.
