Savvy travellers race to nab cabin case approved for use by ALL budget airlines, as it scans for just £8
THE rules about which cases you can take on the plane seem to be getting stricter on an almost daily basis. And while the majority of people are trying their best to stick to the rules, they don't want to shell out on expensive luggage - as the restrictions could well change again. 2 2 So they might want to head to their local Morrisons, after one savvy shopper spotted cabin cases for just £8. The hard shell case is apparently suitable to use on "all budget airlines", according to the sleeve on the product. Aly took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share her find, as she shared snaps of the case and wrote: "Morrisons today, £8!" The LUGG Venus Cabin bag measures 40 x 25 x 20cm, and is "lightweight and durable", as well as having an "ABS hard shell and scratch resistant finish". It's also got 360 degree swivel wheels, designed to give it "smooth effortless mobility". While the Venus design isn't available anymore on the LUGG website, they have similar cabin cases they're selling for £25.99 and up. "I bought a couple last year, but different design," one person commented on Aly's post. "Are they good quality? Tempted to get some but with 4 kids I don't want any busting on us," another asked. To which they replied that they make a "brilliant under-seat bag". "Did they have any bigger ones?" a third questioned.

As Donna, who had picked up the £8 case in Morrisons, posted on X that the store she'd gone to also has a 24 inch suitcase in the same LUGG range for sale for £25. "Are these the ones that fit under the seat?" another asked in the comments on the Facebook post, with Aly replying "Yes". "I got one in navy blue," someone else wrote.

Head to our holiday tips, tricks and hacks page for more ways to save cash on your travels. 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."
