PLANE EASY Brits praising a £7 underseat cabin bag that 'can take a fair amount of weight'
And another shared: 'I can't wait to buy these.'
However, some were quick to offer a word of caution, with one user commenting: 'Still check the airline you are travelling with and their underseat bag size.'
The bag in question is the Bordlite underseat cabin bag, which comes in either black or grey.
It's ideal for weekend trips or quick getaways and is designed to hold all the essentials without the need for a larger suitcase.
With dimensions of 40 x 25 x 20cm, it comfortably meets the size limits for most budget airlines.
B&M writes in the product's description: 'Travel with convenience using this Under the Seat Handheld Bag,' and confirms it is 'suitable for major airlines.'
It easily complies with Ryanair's underseat baggage rules, which allow for bags up to 40 x 20 x 25cm, as well as EasyJet's more generous 45 x 36 x 20cm policy.
That means you can take it on board without worrying about extra charges for overhead cabin space.
Many passengers are now turning to underseat bags as airlines continue to crack down on carry-on luggage and impose extra fees.
Having a compact, airline-friendly option like this makes travelling lighter and cheaper – and with B&M's current offer, it's more affordable than ever.
Other high street retailers are also getting in on the action.
Primark recently launched its own underseat cabin bag, which has become a big hit among travellers.
The bag measures 40 x 20 x 25cm once the wheels are removed, making it perfect for Ryanair flights. Its 'easy click' wheels can be detached in seconds, making it both practical and compliant.
Holiday packing tips
Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday.
1. Write a list
Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase.
Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack.
2. Involve your kids
Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list.
'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.'
3. Try a hack or two
She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip.
"Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver.
'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes.
"These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked.
"I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived."
4. Decant beauty products
Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller.
Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive.
5. Get organised before you come home
Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes.
'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person.
"Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it."

Warning to 40million Brits as major mobile brand to DELETE accounts in just weeks – here's what you need to do
The tech giant warned Brits to take action now or lose their accounts SAVE YOURSELF Warning to 40million Brits as major mobile brand to DELETE accounts in just weeks – here's what you need to do A MAJOR mobile brand has issued a warning to millions of Brits with accounts set to be deleted in just weeks if you don't act now. The Korean tech giant is warning users to act now before their accounts are deleted. 3 Following Google's lead the tech firm announced accounts left inactive would be deleted Credit: Getty 3 Samsung sent warning messages to millions of users Credit: Getty Samsung has sent emails to users warning of an imminent change that will see "inactive accounts" deleted. The accounts at risk of being deleted are used to access native apps on Samsung devices. Following the lead of Google, who warned accounts that were inactive for two years would be deleted, Samsung issued a similar warning. The firm told users that their data could be at risk of being lost in the wake of the changes. While Google announced the change in 2023 Samsung issued their warnings this year. Samsung said accounts that had not been logged into for a period of 24 months would face deletion to protect users data. The policy change will see access to inactive accounts restricted and all data linked to the account deleted. Once gone the account data will not be recoverable so Brits have been urged to act now. Users who received the message have been warned to log into their accounts as soon as possible if they want to avoid losing their data. The warning message issued to users reads: "Samsung is implementing an inactive Samsung account policy to protect the data of users who have not used their account for an extended period of time. Samsung insider reveals top tricks every user needs to know about to save battery and storage "Once this policy is implemented Samsung accounts that have not been logged in to or used for twenty-four months will be considered inactive and will be subject to deletion." Data linked to it should be safe from deletion after users have logged in to their accounts. Previous warnings from the Korean tech firm said accounts would be deleted on July 31. If users have logged into their account at least once in the last 24 months then it should be safe from the deletion. Receiving the warning message likely indicates that your account has been inactive for nearly 24 months and should be logged into if you want it saved. The Galaxy Store and all of Samsung's apps, like Health and Galaxy Wearables, require a Galaxy account to log in. Save your Samsung account Simply log into your Samsung account before 31 July. This will mark the account as active to Samsung, and spare it from deletion. Galaxy users who haven't logged in for a while should receive an email from Samsung notifying them of the change. Though, as 9to5Google notes, that may prove ineffective if the email associated with the account is also inactive. Samsung – a brief history Here's what you need to know... Samsung is a major South Korean company made up of many businesses that operate globally It's known locally as a "chaebol", which means "business conglomerate" It was founded by Lee Byung-chul in 1938 as a trading company But over several decades, it branched out into food processing, insurance, textiles and retail It wasn't until the late 1960s when Samsung entered the electronics industry – for which it's best known in the west today It also launched businesses in construction and shipbuilding in the 1970s Today, Samsung's most important sources of income are its smartphones and computer chips The firm accounts for around 20 per cent of the South Korea's GDP More than 270,000 staff are employed by Samsung globally

I was being swallowed by £120k debt but cleared it AND became mortgage free on a low income using the ‘pound job' method
Read on for some more tips about clearing your credit card debt COUNT ON ME I was being swallowed by £120k debt but cleared it AND became mortgage free on a low income using the 'pound job' method Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ONCE drowning in £120,000 worth of debt, Harriet has completely transformed her life. Not only has she paid it all off, but she's also become mortgage-free - all while living on a low income. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Harriet revealed her top tips for getting out of big debts Credit: TIKTOK Now, through her TikTok account, 'thefreedomfinancecoach,' she's on a mission to help others achieve financial freedom by sharing practical and empowering advice." 'No one teaches you this when you're broke, but I will,' Harriet says in one of her videos. 'If you're barely making it through the month and your debt feels like it's swallowing you whole, this is for you.' With a relatable and empowering approach, Harriet introduces herself as someone who has been through the same challenges and comes out the other side debt-free, including her home. Her step-by-step advice is designed for those who feel overwhelmed by their finances, especially when every pound counts. Harriet begins by urging people to prioritise survival: 'Food, shelter, electricity - these come first. "Debt collectors will have to wait, especially if your essentials aren't covered.' She then emphasises the importance of using a zero-based budget, where every pound is assigned a specific job. Even for those earning between £800 and £1,000 a month, Harriet insists that budgeting down to the last penny gives greater control over finances. Her tips don't shy away from tough decisions either. 'Cut ruthlessly,' she advises. I'm in £15k worth of debt but STILL have TWO gardeners - people might judge me but they are an essential and a godsend 'No Netflix, no takeaways, no unnecessary subscriptions. You're in survival mode now - luxuries can wait until you're out of debt.' Tracking every penny is another cornerstone of Harriet's strategy. Whether it's through a notebook, an app, or her favourite method - the Cash Envelope system - she believes that awareness is key and not to 'bleed money' that you can't see. Harriet also recommends creating a mini emergency fund, even if it's just £100. It's the only way to change your situation. It's really hard but possible TikTok comment She warns that without it 'every emergency' like a flat tire 'can wipe out your entire budget.' While she acknowledges that the journey to financial freedom isn't easy, Harriet reassures her audience that it's possible. 'I did it too,' she says with confidence. Her video, which was shared on 9 June, has received 48.1k views and 51 comments. The Zero Based Budget! Never heard of this before TikTok comment One person wrote: 'This is such great advice. 'It's the only way to change your situation. It's really hard but possible.' A second commented: 'In £5k of debt and paying off slowly, also paying myself £25 a week with the goal to make £5k whilst paying off my £5k.' And a third said: 'Thank you Queen, The Zero Based Budget! Never heard of this before.'
