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.

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."

'I'm a British expat and one Spanish shop is much better than most UK supermarkets'
Carolina Cornell, originally from Taunton, Somerset, adores Mercadona and prefers it to most supermarket brands in the UK, such as Tesco and Sainsbury's and Asda A British expat has raved over a Spanish shop that is "far superior to most supermarkets in the UK". Carolina Cornell, who originally comes from Taunton, Somerset, reviewed her local Mercadona supermarket and gave her top tips for what to buy while on holiday. She first visited the booze section where they have a "great selection of different wines". Carolina, who has lived on Spain's Costa del Sol for 11 years, noted her preference for "semi-sweet white wine" and showed off a bottle of La Distinguida for just £2.30 (€2.65). Her favourite bottle of Árabe comes in at just over £3.47 (€4). The 33-year-old woman then reviewed Mercadona's crisps section, recommending a home-brand packet of nachos that is best accompanied with a tub of guacamole. Next up, she showed off the soft drinks section, highlighting a new cherry juice for just £0.95 (€1.10) and carton of coconut water for just £2.25 (€2.60). Carolina then visited the skincare aisle where Mercadona has "so many amazing items at really good prices". She also waxed lyrical over their gluten-free products and range of herbal teas. In a follow-up video titled 'Mercadona faves part 2', Carolina recommended the supermarket chain's tinned clam and tuna products. She then showed their packaged lemon chicken pieces "which are great in the air fryer". Carolina also visited the cheese and ready-made meals aisles, which included lasagne and meatballs. She said: "If you like fresh fish, they also have a big fresh fish counter. This frozen wild salmon is super well priced, I always buy this." She also visited the supermarket's "best selection of ice creams" and recommended her favourite products from the huge freezer. She shared the videos on her TikTok page with the message: "If you're anything like me, I just love a browse in different supermarkets and seeing what other people more so if it's on holiday!" But Carolina said the prices have definitely gone up in recent years, especially the last 12 months. She added: "However, the quality and freshness of the products are far superior to most supermarkets in the UK. A lot is grown and sourced locally in Spain so you can really tell it's fresh." Online users flocked to the comments of Carolina's TikTok video. One local said: "Great store!" They added: "Love this video, saved!" Another TikTok user remarked: "Love this, you look like you have so much more choice than I have in my local French supermarket, and so much cheaper!"

Tiny European island dubbed 'Maldives of the Med' with 11-hours of daily sunshine
A tiny European island which boats transparent waters, balmy weather and swaying palm trees is giving the Maldives a run for it's money thanks to it's idyllic setting Choosing your holiday getaway can take a lot of time and planning and if you're after a white sandy beach and crystal clear waters - you'll more than likely have to jump on a long-haul flight. However people have been raving about a tiny Balearic island, and are comparing it to being the ' Maldives of the Meditarranean'. Formentera promises the same sunny weather, palm trees and crystal blue transparent waters, just like the Maldives, without the massive price tag. Situated right next to Ibiza, the two islands may be geographically aligned, but they couldn't be more opposite. Formentera is peaceful escape and the island is just 12 miles long and a mile-and-a-half wide at its narrowest point and there's little to do apart from eat, drink and enjoy the soft sand beaches. Lonely Planet describes the European island, which was also loved by Kate Moss in the 90s, as a 'beautifully pure, get-away-from-it-all-escape'. The travel guide adds: "Formentera's pace of life is blissfully languid, designed for lazy days spent lounging on some of Europe's (dare we say the world's) most exquisite beaches." Playa de Ses Illetes is Formentera's best known beach and it's even won Travellers' Choice Best of the Best award and the coastal spot is located within the Ses Salines National Park and has white sand with bright turquoise water. Platja de Migjorn is also considered one of the island's prettiest beaches. The longest beach on the island it stretches across 5km. For those looking to plan a trip to the beautiful island, travellers will need to fly to Ibiza to get to Formentera with direct flights available on British Airways, easyJet, Ryanair and Jet2. They can then catch a ferry from Ibiza. Ferries tend to run frequently and take around 30 minutes. It also promises 11-hours of sunshine a day and in July and August, the temperature averages 26 degrees on the island and the average temperature is usually above 20 degrees in May, June, September and October as well. However if you don't fancy hopping on a plane, the UK boasts stunning landscapes that are the envy of the world, offering a plethora of beautiful spots to discover if you're planning a staycation this summer. One of the most 'underrated' regions offers the top must-do activity for holidaymakers this summer, located on a picturesque island just off Scotland's coast. A breathtaking drive along the Isle of Arran's coast in Scotland has emerged as the top choice, according to a survey of 2,000 adults about their staycation dreams. Often dubbed 'Scotland in miniature', the Isle of Arran boasts a range of spectacular landscapes, with the 109km Arran Coastal Way providing views of the coastline, charming villages, and mountain peaks. Journeying around the stunning Isle of Arran presents ample opportunities to discover remnants of Scotland's Gaelic and Norse heritage. It features numerous coastal towns, such as Lochranza and Kildonan, where you can enjoy a walk on beautiful beaches and explore ancient castle ruins. Scotland is renowned for its rich culture and history, which you'll experience at every turn when exploring Arran.

A new water regime must still reward private investors
The weekend's torrential Yorkshire rain amid a hosepipe ban offered a handy metaphor for the chaos that has befallen the privatised UK water industry. Sir Jon Cunliffe's Independent Water Commission report – aiming for a 'fundamental reset' to restore public confidence, clean our waterways and ensure future supply – is welcome for the clarity of its central conclusion: that unfit-for-purpose Ofwat and a jumble of other regulators should be replaced by a single body with more teeth and comprehensive oversight of the sector. So far, so good. Cunliffe – a veteran of the Treasury, the Bank of England and Brussels – can also be applauded for his bureaucratic cunning in tabling no fewer than 88 recommendations, in the hope that perhaps eight of them might actually be adopted. But one reform he was forbidden from contemplating was the renationalisation of water companies, whatever the alleged extent of their failures and dividend-gouging under foreign and private-equity ownership. And that means future investment in leak-free pipes and reservoirs, supply to new housing and elimination of sewage slicks remains dependent on the willingness of private investors to put capital at risk – a mechanism widely misunderstood by consumers and campaigners who believe all shareholder rewards from water supply are somehow exploitative and wrong. Cunliffe's report talks about creating a stable regime that reduces uncertainty and thereby attracts 'low risk, low return' long-term investors, rather than (though he doesn't quite put it this way) the fast-buck financiers who gamed Ofwat so effectively in an era when successive governments were far less concerned with infrastructure improvement than the voter optics of lower water bills. In the Commons, Environment Secretary Steve Reed gave grudging spin about 'fair' returns for shareholders who meet their obligations. I note his previous career in educational publishing and hope he has texts in praise of capitalism on his bookshelf, because having ruled out state ownership he must now embrace investors who will naturally be sceptical of Labour promises. At least Cunliffe has given him a blueprint. Man of secrets David Alliance, who has died aged 93, was a man of secrets. An Iranian immigrant trader who started buying up Lancashire cotton mills in the 1950s, he eventually controlled, in the Coats Viyella combine of the 1990s, most of what remained of the British textile industry. That he liked to hold his cards close to his chest made him a potent deal-maker but a difficult client for his ghostwriters, of whom for a year or so I was one – though my version of his memoirs remained unpublished, eventually to be overtaken by Ivan Fallon's A Bazaar Life (2015). 'You research it,' Alliance would say with a hint of irritation when I tried to probe him about his takeover battles or his clandestine role in rescuing Falasha Jews from persecution in Ethiopia. So inscrutable was he that in the end I missed the core objective of my commission, which was a book saying that treacherous boardroom colleagues had thwarted his efforts to sustain Coats Viyella as a global competitor against cheap foreign rivals, before forcing his 1999 resignation. I suspect neither a nine-digit fortune from his second business empire in mail-order, nor a Lib Dem peerage, nor his name on what is now the Alliance Manchester Business School, brought consolation to his rather lonely later life. He seemed to have few real friends and I was never one of them, but I salute him as a remarkable entrepreneur. Sinking flagship 'The knives are out for BP's Norwegian chairman Helge Lund,' I wrote in April. This followed the energy giant's shareholder-driven U-turn, refocusing on fossil fuels and dumping the commitment to renewables for which Lund and his former chief executive Bernard Looney were largely responsible. Sure enough, Lund's own plan to step down 'most likely during 2026' has been accelerated to this October. His successor, Albert Manifold, previously ran the Irish building materials group CRH whose product range, embracing concrete, aggregates and bitumen, demonstrates a relatively low level of ambition to approach net zero any time soon. Tellingly, its share price has more than doubled over the past three years while BP's has stayed exactly where it was. Underlying that difference is the fact that CRH also led the current fashion for seeking higher valuations elsewhere by shifting its primary listing to New York in 2023. As the activist BP shareholder Elliott Management shouts about a need for decisive leadership to counter chronic underperformance, watch whether this sinking flagship of the FTSE 100 follows CRH across the pond. In one dramatic move, I fear that would nullify most of Chancellor Rachel Reeves's recent initiatives to inject new life into London's capital market. Storm warning I set off for my summer sojourn in France with a nagging concern about relative values. The Financial Times reports that the global cryptocurrency market has reached $4 trillion (£3 trillion) and is likely to go higher as funds flood in following the passage of Donald Trump's pro-crypto legislation. The market capitalisation of Nvidia, the Californian AI microchip giant, has also passed $4 trillion and here too pundits say there's further to go. Both those markers easily surpass the combined market value of the FTSE 100 – the top one hundred London-listed companies – at £2.1 trillion, which itself reflects an all-time high for the index at 9000. Yet economies flatline, inflation ticks up, government debt soars and geopolitics are in perpetual turmoil. Something surely has to give, maybe next month, maybe in the more traditional crash month of October. Ah well, fine French lunches should keep me sanguine – and, I hope, beguile you when I write about them.
