Antler's Ryanair-approved expandable cabin case is over £50 off in summer sale
It's officially that time of the year when we're getting ready to jet off on our summer holidays. And whether you're heading off on a tropical getaway or keeping it a local, having a trusty, high quality suitcase is essential.
We've just spotted a Ryanair and EasyJet-approved cabin case for 30% off on the Antler website. And it's even in a trendy mint green colour so not only can you fit in all your essentials but you can travel in style.
The Logo suitcase was originally priced at £175, and is now down to £122.50, and is a lightweight, hard-shell suitcase that's as stylish as it is practical.
Made from durable polycarbonate, it's built to handle all the bumps and bruises of travel, while still looking sleek thanks to its design, which means scuffs won't stand out.
It's also got a few handy features that makes it standout from the rest. These include smooth double spinner wheels for easy movement through the airport, a built-in security-approved lock so you know all your items are safely stowed away, and an expander zip to give you that extra bit of room when you're bringing back more than you packed. There's also a there's two zipped compartments inside that helps to keep things organised and the dimensions are just right for fitting the paid for, 10kg cabin suitcase requirements on most airlines.
If, however, you are looking for a slightly more affordable alternative that fits the free cabin handbag requirements, Tripp's hard shell under seat cabin case is currently on sale for £42. The dimensions of this bag would fit EasyJet and British Airways planes.
Unfortunately, the Ryanair luggage allowance is slightly smaller than some other airlines so if you're in the market for a cabin to fit their free hand luggage requirements, a backpack like this one from Amazon, £26.99 here, would probably be the best option.

Horror moment American Airlines plane bursts into flames as passengers flee
Passengers abandoned the American Airlines plane via an inflatable emergency slide amid chaotic scenes at Denver International Airport, with some needing hospital treatment This is the horrifying moment an American Airlines plane burst into flames as passengers fled the aircraft. At least one person is understood to have been injured when a plane was forced to abort its take-off from Denver Airport, in Colorado, due to landing gear failure. Passengers fled the smoking aircraft with an inflatable emergency slide being deployed in the chaotic scenes on Saturday. Video showed passengers frantically sliding down as thick black smoke billowed from the back left side of the plane. The Denver Fire Department said in a social media post at 5:10pm local time that it had extinguished the fire. American Airlines Flight 3023 reported a landing gear incident as it took off for Miami at about 2:45pm, the Federal Aviation Administration said. According to 9News, an air traffic controller could be heard telling the pilot in cockpit audio: "Flight 3023, you got a lot of smoke. The airline added all 173 passengers and six crew members were safely evacuated from the plane. Six people were checked for minor injuries with one being transported to a local hospital after getting off the plane. "All customers and crew deplaned safely, and the aircraft was taken out of service to be inspected by our maintenance team," an American Airlines spokesperson said. "We thank our team members for their professionalism and apologize to our customers for their experience." Denver International Airport said: "This afternoon, DEN First Responders and the Denver Fire Department responded to a reported issue with an American Airlines flight (AA3023, DEN-MIA) on a runway. Those on board are now off the aircraft." In another post, it added: "Update: Five people were evaluated on scene and not transported. One person was evaluated at a gate and was transported." It comes after an easyJet flight leaving Gatwick Airport was forced to divert back to the airport after take off yesterday. Shortly before 4.30pm an easyJet flight bound for Bastia, on the French island of Corsica was forced to return to Gatwick, a spokesperson for the airport confirmed. An easyJet spokesperson said: "easyJet can confirm that flight EZY8461 from Gatwick to Bastia today (26 July) returned to Gatwick and requested a priority landing on arrival into London Gatwick due to a technical issue. The aircraft landed normally and was met by emergency services purely as a precautionary measure in line with procedures, and all passengers disembarked normally. "A replacement aircraft and crew has been arranged for passengers to continue their journey to Bastia today. The safety of our customers and crew is easyJet's highest priority and easyJet operates its fleet of aircraft in strict compliance with all manufacturers' guidelines.'

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the shocking moment a female Ryanair passenger is left sobbing on her knees after being banned from boarding her flight. The tearful woman was left hitting a door in an emotional outburst as airport staff reportedly told her that her hand luggage was too big.

A packed flight was due to board a bus to their plane when the female passenger was stopped in the queue. Nikolay Stefanov, a witness to the shocking ordeal, said the woman was told she had to pay for extra baggage because her luggage didn't fit in the holdall. The woman refused to pay as she explained her bag could in fact fit. Footage shows her trying to force her bag into the luggage rack by slamming it in. The bag does eventually fit but the staff still refuse to let her board. She then breaks down in tears as she pleads with a member of the border police and takes a video of the bag which is now wedged inside the rack. Dozens of the passengers were seen watching on from behind a glass door which was all that separated them from the weeping woman. Determined to board, she then starts to bang on the door and ask for help as Nikolay films the sad ordeal. More staff quickly surround the woman as her begging grows louder. Moment Brit woman is dragged off Ryanair flight & thrown to floor after 'assaulting passengers and making bomb threat' At one point she even drops to her knees before placing her hand on the door as tears roll down her face. Nikolay said the whole situation "escalated quickly". He added: "She was pleading with us not to leave, but we were threatened that the entire flight would be cancelled if we didn't get on the bus, so passengers became frightened and left." Nikolay said many onlookers were also shocked by how the staff treated her with next to no compassion. It has also been claimed that another passenger stood behind the woman in line was removed from the flight. A Ryanair staff member allegedly said that they couldn't let him on because "reopening the gate risked the woman trying to get on the bus". The viral footage soon caught the eye of Bulgaria's parliament. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Grozdan Karadjov has reportedly ordered an inspection of the airport's security cameras. Mr Karadjov is even said to have described the behaviour of employees in the video as "outrageous", reports. He has assured people that the main ground operator will be found and given the "highest fine" and a verbal warning. In response, Goldair Handling Bulgaria insisted their employees acted "professionally and without any physical contact with the passenger". The handling company released a statement to BNT News that read: "All rules regarding passengers' baggage, its permissible size and the fees payable for baggage are determined solely, entirely and unilaterally by the airlines. "Goldair Handling Bulgaria OOD is solely obliged to monitor compliance with these rules by the airlines. "This also applies to hand luggage, as Goldair Handling Bulgaria OOD is obliged to monitor the dimensions of this baggage and collect excess baggage fees. "[Staff] acted professionally and without any physical contact with the passenger." It comes as Ryanair's CEO is considering increasing bonuses paid to staff for spotting oversized luggage. The budget airline currently pays staff approximately €1.50 (£1.30) for stopping passengers with oversized bags from boarding the aircraft. Currently, staff bonuses for doing this are capped at €80 (£70) a month. Passengers who are unlucky enough to get caught out by the airline's staff are charged a fee of up to €75 (£65) for bringing luggage that is larger than they paid for while booking their journey. 6 The passenger was left hitting the door where the other passengers were waiting to board Credit: Facebook/Nikolay Stefanov

I loved every minute of the 'Hawaii of Europe' — but you better go soon
I'm sailing over a cerulean sea, glass of champagne in hand, with three men I've just met. Around us are black sand beaches, thundering waterfalls, and craggy mountains bursting with 50 shades of green. It looks a lot like Pandora, the fictional world of Avatar, but this is Madeira, a Portuguese archipelago north of the Canaries. Marooned in the Atlantic, this cluster of volcanic rock is rightfully nicknamed the 'Hawaii of Europe'. And it's becoming a popular holiday choice — easyJet now runs year-round direct flights from London, Manchester and Bristol. It's an easy adventure. Three-and-a-half-hour flights are shorter than to the Canaries, and while Madeira is certainly not a secret, its eye-popping pebble beaches remain unspoiled, for now, at least. Fuel your wanderlust with our curated newsletter of travel deals, guides and inspiration. Sign up here. A cross between paradise and an adventure playground, Madeira is drawing more visitors than ever. In 2023, it welcomed over 1.7 million, a sharp rise from 1.1 million in 2021. Since Covid, social media has fuelled Madeira's popularity, with thousands of posts spotlighting so-called 'hidden gems' across the island. Alexandre Von Essen, a skipper for Happy Hour boat tours, says that many off-beat places he used to visit as a teenager now attract thousands of tourists per day. 'It's cool that we have so many visitors,' he says. 'But it's definitely strange. 'Before the pandemic, it was mainly pensioners visiting. You'd have rich old ladies, they'd stay at the Ritz and spend loads of money.' Now there's an influx of travellers of all ages — especially those who wish to explore and discover. And there's so much for nature lovers to appreciate. Nicknamed the 'Pearl of the Atlantic' in the 1930s for its breathtaking scenery, Madeira has long relied on tourism to fuel its economy. But even with viral travel guides and post-Covid wanderlust, Madeira has so far been spared the overtourism chaos seen in parts of Spain and European cities like Prague. During a tour of the island with Hugo, from Adventureland tours, we visit Fanal Forest, a misty laurel woodland that looks straight out of a fairytale. He's so protective of his homeland's beauty spots that he refuses to reveal some remote locations, unless tourists promise not to share pictures of them online. 'I want people to really appreciate it,' he says. All credit to him, because Madeira does feel calmer than other popular tourist destinations. The volcanic rock pools are still relatively quiet, even during the lunchtime rush, and Seixal beach – a stretch of black sand hugged by vibrant, jungle-like cliffs – looks like something from a dream, even with countless other visitors taking pictures along its shores. The capital Funchal is replete with traditional mercearias, old grocery stores that once served as places to shop and socialise. They still sell everything from local beer and wine to baby powder, sweeping brushes and chewing gum. Bento's Grocery, for instance, has been in the Bento family since 1974. It has a rustic charm and is filled with local people at all times of the day. It's also a great place to try Poncha, a traditional drink made from sugarcane rum, honey and citrus juice. It was originally drunk by sailors as a tonic to ward off scurvy. Now, you can get it at any bar and restaurant across the island in almost any flavour you can think of. Madeira is also known for its world-class seafood. I tried a tuna cornetto, which is much tastier than it sounds. You'll also find mouthwatering prawn dishes, octopus and limpets, usually served with garlic and butter. And don't leave without trying a banana passion fruit, a local favourite unlike anything you'll find in the UK. For foreign visitors, prices are incredibly reasonable. A cup of coffee and a chocolate at most local cafes will set you back as little as €2. Alcohol is similar, with a pint typically between €1 to €3, while a Poncha is between €3-€6. At the same time, Madeira is working to attract a more luxury crowd. It's become popular with digital nomads and long-stay travellers who stay at the island's more upmarket hotels. Sleek wellness centres are popping up to match demand. In the capital Funchal, I stopped by CoolZone, the world's largest Cryotherapy centre, which features a -110C chamber and infrared rooms. The state-of-the-art treatment focuses on longevity and caters to travellers looking to reset and relax, rather than rush around. More Trending And that's how the island should be enjoyed. Madeira's magic is undeniable. From its cloud-covered mountain peaks to rugged coastlines, it's made for slow and sustainable travel. The kind that locals are happy to share, as long as you take it all in, and actually be there. And, even though I've only just scratched the surface, I already know I'll be back. I was hosted at The Vine hotel by Visit Madeira, where standard rooms start from €265.70 per night. The hotel is in the heart of Funchal, with the city's best restaurants and attractions right on your doorstep. Santa Caterina Park, which boasts a lake and views over the bay, is just a five minute walk away, as is Funchal Cathedral, built in the 15th century. Funchal's Farmer's market is a must visit in the city, full of exotic fruit, spices and knick-knacks and is just a 10 minute walk from the hotel. The hotel's rooftop features a sleek infinity pool with panoramic views of the city and hills. You can also enjoy the scenery from its rooftop restaurant or bar. Do you have a story to share?
