Sun-seekers gearing up for their next sunshine-filled escape are raving about a "spacious" suitcase that's not only stylish but can also help dodge those dreaded airline baggage fees.
The Flight Knight Cabin Case is flying off the virtual shelves at Next, quickly becoming a best-seller – and with 17 colours to match every travel vibe.
At a reasonable £50 this savvy suitcase is built for smooth sailing (or gliding) through the airport. Wrapped in a sleek, waterproof, and scratch-resistant hard shell it's ready to guard your getaway gear with ease.
Inside the fully lined interior comes equipped with clever pockets and handy straps, keeping everything from flip-flops to travel documents perfectly in place.
Available at an ever-so-slightly reduced price point of £49.99 on Amazon and through Debenhams, this carry-on luggage measures 56 x 45 x 25cm, which is the absolute limit for easyJet's Large Cabin Bag allocation, making it the prime choice for jet-setters battling the complimentary luggage limits.
Heading with a different airline? Have no fear, the case also complies with Jet2 and British Airways' no-cost carry-on allowance of 56 x 45 x 25cm.
However, Ryanair flyers should to be aware that it surpasses the Priority Cabin Baggage's upper limit of 55 x 40 x 20cm, reports Chronicle Live.
While it is just as pricey, £49 will get your hands on a smaller 55x40x20cm variant, if that's your preferred size. Fortunately, there's a Ryanair Priority-compliant version of the suitcase with the requisite dimensions available for £50 at Next, and it's currently on offer for just £42.49 on Amazon.
With various sizes designed to meet the requirements of all major airlines, this Flight Knight suitcase collection boasts an impressive average score of 4.3 out of five stars on Amazon, based on a multitude of customer reviews.
A satisfied customer who purchased the easyJet Large Cabin Bag size shared: "This suitcase was able to be brought on to my easyJet flight without issue and is very sturdy and easy to manoeuvre. I'd highly recommend to anybody in the market for one!"
Another happy traveller added: "When the case first arrived I thought it was too big for a cabin bag. But sure enough, it went in the overhead locker. Got so much stuff in it, no need for hold luggage and hence didn't need to queue for my case at baggage reclaim. Had a great weekend!"
And yet another reviewer expressed their satisfaction: "Great case, nice and light, easy to glide around and perfect size. Used for a week away in Cyprus with compression bags and had plenty of clothes plus room for sandals and flip flops in the zip up compartment."
Some shoppers have cited concerns over its durability. A number of customers reported issues with the wheels on their luggage failing during travel, with one stating: "The wheels don't spin easily nor roll easily, making it very difficult to manoeuvre or pull along."
A dissatisfied customer critiqued: "The quality unfortunately is not as robust or rigid as other brands."
