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."

'I'm a Disneyland expert - here are 6 things to avoid when going'
here are 6 blunders that an expert encourages visitors to avoid when going to Disneyland. A travel agent who specialises in Disneyland has shared the ultimate no-nos for Brits jetting off to meet Mickey at the happiest place on Earth. A Disney getaway represents a significant financial commitment, and for many families, it's a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Therefore the important thing to do is pre-prepare so that all of the wonderful opportunities available are not missed. Hannah Westphal from byHannah Vacations is a travel agent to specialises in Disneyland and Disney World. She says on her website: "The Most Magical Place on Earth will be the most stressful vacation planning you've ever done." So to that end, here are 6 blunders that the expert encourages visitors to avoid . . . 1. Dressing inappropriately Hannah warns against impractical clothing choices, stating: "It's easy to forget, but comfortable shoes are essential for a fantastic Disneyland trip. High heels, flip-flops, and brand-new shoes might not be the best choice after a day of exploring rides and soaking up the magic." 2. Lingering too long over meals Additionally, don't spend ages dining when you could be enjoying attractions. Whilst Disney offers an incredible array of dining options, Hannah advises striking a balance between eating and entertainment She explained: "If you're tight for time exploring the parks, a long, leisurely meal might not be the best way to spend your day. "It's a shame to see visitors feeling deflated after a lovely meal, only to find they've squeezed themselves out of time for their top ride." The specialist recommends that guests should either set aside sufficient time for dining or choose swift bite-sized options to maximise their park experience. For those curious about food budgeting, Disneyland has published comprehensive details of all its dining establishments online, including pricing brackets and full menus. 3. Failing to utilise the Disneyland app To elevate your enchanting adventure, visitors can download the Disneyland app, which the specialist describes as a "fantastic tool" for your trip. Yet countless guests fail to harness its full potential. "The app provides everything you need to know, from current ride wait times to character meet-and-greets and show schedules," Hannah explained. Visitors can also browse their PhotoPass snaps and attraction photos, store their park tickets conveniently on the app, and pre-order meals to avoid lengthy queues. The specialist recommends downloading the app and establishing your profile well in advance. This approach allows you to familiarise yourself with its capabilities before arrival, preserving valuable park hours for what truly matters - soaking up the enchantment. 4. Standing in line for treats Few things prove more frustrating than developing an appetite whilst trapped in an endless queue for refreshments at Disneyland (or whilst awaiting an attraction). Thankfully for visitors, there's a clever strategy to sidestep those interminable waits - pre-ordering your snacks. Disneyland has come a long way from the days of our childhood, now offering a host of conveniences to its visitors. One such convenience is the ability to pre-order food and drinks via the Disneyland app, allowing guests to bypass queues and spend more time enjoying the attractions. Hannah explained: "Simply place your order and pay through the app. Once you get a notification that your food's ready to collect, you can swing by and grab it." 5. Watching fireworks inside the park When it comes to the nightly fireworks display, a favourite among park-goers, Hannah cautioned about the typically large crowds that gather to watch. "While the fireworks are stunning from within the park, you might find yourself feeling a bit overwhelmed by the crowds," she revealed. "For a more relaxed experience, you might want to consider alternative viewing spots outside the park. 6. Not exploring beyond the rides Hannah also highlighted that there's more to Disney parks than just the rides; they're brimming with amazing performances by talented cast members. She encourages visitors not to overlook these experiences simply because the thrill rides seem like the main attraction. Hannah advised: "The way I see it, it wouldn't be a good idea to miss out on a fantastic show just for the sake of a short ride with a lengthy wait.". She recommends guests make the most of the parades, spectacular evening shows, and captivating daily events that only Disney parks can provide.

I discovered how to dodge extra baggage fees with flight attendant's 1 clever hack
Flying with just a small personal bag can be a struggle when it comes to packing light, but a flight attendant has shared a handy hack that could help avoid extra fees Excess luggage charges can quickly escalate, turning a dream getaway into a costly nightmare. Keen to keep my Poland trip this month on the cheap, I flew with no-frills carrier Ryanair and stuck to the complimentary baggage allowance – just a small personal item. The challenge arises when you're keen to bring home souvenirs, on top of having a compact cross-body bag. Flight attendant Miguel Muñoz previously shared with a nifty loophole, noting that "duty-free bags don't count as carry-on baggage" and are usually overlooked by gate staff. This tip has even been echoed by thrifty TikTokers, so I was eager to try it out. Miguel outlined the trick: "If you have something that doesn't fit in your suitcase or you want to bring an extra bag on board, here's the trick. "All you have to do is carry a duty-free bag. Or ask for one at the duty-free shop, and you can place whatever you want in the shopping bag." Boarding the plane with my bulging duty-free bag had me anxious, but to my relief, the crew waved me through without a hitch. With Ryanair's baggage fees stretching from £12 to £59.99, avoiding that extra charge felt like a victory. This trick was a lifesaver for the extra bag and jacket that I couldn't squeeze into my main luggage. While this method did work wonders for me, a few folks have mentioned that airline staff requested a look inside their bags. To sidestep this, if you've made any duty-free purchases, place them on top. Also, always ensure your airline permits carrying duty-free items onboard in this manner. Having triumphed with this hack, I'm eager to test out the neck pillow packing hack. This essentially involves replacing the pillow stuffing with small clothing items.

Travel influencer reveals favourite summer day in Scotland where you can beat the crowds
And it's great for families on a budget 'WE LOVE IT' Travel influencer reveals favourite summer day in Scotland where you can beat the crowds Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WITH summer well and truly underway, hundreds of families will be waiting for the sun to return so they can head to the beach. When it's hot and bright outside, there is nothing better than building canoes and going for a dip in the sea. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Beaches can quickly become super busy when the sun is out Credit: Alamy 3 Which is why influencer Howey Ejegi prefers to visit a quieter spot in the summer Credit: Howey Ejegi 3 And he says it's great for families on a budget Credit: Andrew Barr But chances are, most of the country will have the same idea, which means they will quickly become swamped with people when the temperature rises. So it's no wonder that more and more people are looking for lesser-known, hidden gem spots to enjoy a peaceful day out. And one travel influencer has revealed his perfect Scottish location where there are no crowds - and he swears it's his favourite summer day. Howey Ejegi is a digital creator at @howeydon and and a dad from Dundee. And he revealed that while he loves visiting Aberdour Silver Sands in Fife, it usually gets too busy in the summer months. So he likes to save it for the cooler, and when it gets hot outside, he heads to the Scottish Deer Centre near Cupar, in Fife, with his son, Jaivon, instead. We love it. It's really educational and you can easily spend the whole day there, staying for lunch or bringing your own picnic Howey Ejegi Howey told The Sun: "Living on the Fife coast, we have some of the most beautiful beaches in Scotland a short drive from us. "However, in summer, everyone has the same idea and they get really packed, with traffic jams and car parks all full. "Aberdour Silver Sands is probably the most popular beach but we prefer to go in spring or autumn. "It's not as hot, but sometimes we get the place almost to ourselves, so it feels like a secret beach. Rare giant 'spaceship-like' sea creature that grows up to 2.5 metres spotted off Scots coast "When it starts to get busy with locals and tourists, Jaivon and I prefer to head inland to the Scottish Deer Centre near Cupar." Howey gushed over the massive wildlife park and said it's perfect for families on a budget because of its 'pay as you please' policy. He added: "This wildlife park spans 55 acres and has 12 species of deer, wolves, otters, elk and bears. "What's great about this place is that they have a 'pay as you please' admission, so guests pay what they can afford. "It's a great incentive to encourage visitors from lower-income areas to experience the park without worrying about the admission price. "We love it. It's really educational and you can easily spend the whole day there, staying for lunch or bringing your own picnic. "I know people head to the beach for a cheap day out in the school holidays. "But this is our favourite local spot when the coast gets too crowded."
