'Spacious' Ryanair cabin bag 'perfect for a weekend stay' reduced in Antler sale
Luggage doesn't always come cheap, particularly if you're keen on a luxury brand like Antler. However, for holidaymakers looking to upgrade their collection, the brand has launched a massive summer sale with an impressive 40 percent off selected styles.
For those planning city breaks or shorter trips this year, Antler has cut the price of this Ryanair and easyJet approved cabin bag that fits neatly under your seat. The easyJet and Ryanair measurement approved Chelsea Overnight Bag in Taupe was originally priced at £140, but has been reduced to £112 for a limited time only.
Fans of the bag have praised its numerous compartments and robustness, with a 'sleek' and 'minimal' aesthetic that slides easily over the handle of your cabin bag. It's water-resistant, made from durable nylon, with dimensions 41.5 x 26 x 18cm, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Alternatively, Amazon is offering this ECOHUB Easyjet 30L Cabin Bag for £18.99 in six different colours that shoppers describe as a 'great travel bag for all airlines'.
On the Antler website, the full product description reads: "Designed to be the perfect piece of hand luggage, our overnight bag will sit neatly under the seat in front of you on a plane, and has a back sleeve to slot over a suitcase handle.
"It doubles up as an ideal gym bag and comes with a detachable shoulder strap (you'll find this inside a pocket on arrival). Inside, there are plenty of slip pockets including one for a laptop. This holdall is finished with premium leather details."
The discounted bag has earned an impressive 4.8 out of 5 rating from customer reviews, with one delighted buyer commenting: "A good size bag that neatly fitted under the seat on my recent plane trip.
"Spacious inside, the lighter colour lining is a bonus to help see the contents; nothing worse than rummaging around a dark bag! Useful slot on the outside fitted over my suitcase and made navigating around the airport a breeze.
"Recommend this bag, don't hesitate to buy if you've got your eye on it!"
Beauty deal of the week
YSL Black Opium remains an iconic perfume - and we know where to bag the newest edition for its cheapest price.
The YSL BLack Opium Le Parfum offers a more vanilla-heavy fragrance that has been hailed as "intoxicating" in reviews, with a 50ml now half-price at Boots after being dropped from £115 to £57.50.
Massive saving aside, it's the cheapest it can be bought for at the moment, as rival retailers Superdrug, Lookfantastic and The Perfume Shop still stock it at full-price.
This interpretation of the iconic perfume was only launched in 2022, with its original floral gourmand fragrance still offering its famed notes that include pear accord, green mandarin, orange flower petals, jasmine sambac and cinnamon.
However, the iconic coffee accord has been twisted with four different, yet still complimentary, notes of vanilla, which is said to be its most important ingredient, to create an "unexpected smoothness, with uncompromising intensity."
Meanwhile, the unique glossy bottle that has been crafted from a precious black stone, with its dazzling glitter emblem at the heart, eludes to the luxuriousness of the fragrance contained within.
As for the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Boots shoppers wanting to take advantage of the half-price discount will be glad to hear it has amassed a 4.7 rating from thousands of customers who say it "lasts all day" and "literally turns heads" when it is worn.
One five-star review read: "I love the fragrance. I used a lot the first time, not realising how intense it was. It lasts all day and continues to smell great. I literally turn heads when I wear it."
Don't miss Boots' half-price discount on the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum (50ml) that is now £57.50, down from £115.
Another review stated: "Absolutely love this bag. It's sleek, minimal and feels really well made. Fits more than I expected, perfect for a short trip or even a gym session. The handles are comfortable and it keeps its shape well even when full. One of the best travel bags I've owned. Looks premium too."
A third customer remarked: "Great travel bag. Perfect for hand luggage or an overnight/weekend stay. Great casing and plenty of space inside without it being too big. Great colour, very sleek and smart."
However, some reviews pointed out that the bag was 'smaller than they would've liked', so it's crucial to pay attention to the product dimensions.
One customer expressed their thoughts saying: "Love it but wanted the weekender - but not available in taupe for some reason. Smaller than would have liked but still great."
If this cabin bag appeals to you, it's available for purchase at £112.
For those who prefer a more robust luggage option, the Stamford 2.0 cabin in midnight black, originally priced at £210, is now on offer for £168 in the sale. This case boasts Japanese wheels for a 'whisper-quiet' glide and measures 54.1 x 40.2 x 20 cm.

Ryanair calls on all UK passengers to take action after 7,000 delayed in one day alone this week
FLIGHT CHAOS Ryanair calls on all UK passengers to take action after 7,000 delayed in one day alone this week Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RYANAIR has called on all UK passengers to take action after 7,000 were delayed in just one day this week. The budget airline is calling on the CEO of the UK's leading provider of air traffic control services to step down following the travel disruption. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Ryanair has called on all UK passengers to take action after 7,000 were delayed in just one day this week Credit: LNP Martin Rolfe, CEO of the National Air Traffic Services (NATS) is facing calls to resign after staff shortages delayed 38 flights by up to an hour this week. Those delays impacted the travel of over 7,000 UK passengers according to Ryanair. In a message to its passengers, the airline said: "Ryanair has long campaigned for ATC reform to ensure that ATCs are fully staffed, but UK ATC delays are getting worse due to repeated NATS mismanagement and staff shortages. 'Ryanair calls on all passengers to visit the 'Air Traffic Control Ruined Your Flight' webpage and demand that Transport Minister, Heidi Alexander, sack Martin Rolfe and reform NATS's hopeless ATC service, so that airlines and passengers do not suffer further avoidable ATC delays at the hands of NATS's continued mismanagement and staff shortages.' NATS provides assistance for both civilian and military aircraft in UK airspace and at a number of UK airports. The message comes just days after easyJet expressed their "extreme unhappiness" with strikes by French air traffic control (ATC) workers. French ATC staff walked out on July 3 and July 4 in a dispute over working conditions disrupting tens of thousands of passengers. Flights to and from French airports as well as those due to fly over French airspace were impacted. With 70 per cent of short-haul flights going in and out of the UK using French airpsace, easyJet is heavily reliant on France's air traffic control. At least 18 people injured after fire in Ryanair plane at Majorca airport as passengers abandon jet by clambering over wing Issues relating to air traffic control have caused 49 per cent of delays for the Luton-based carrier since the start of the holiday season (Easter). This is a 77 per cent hike compared with the same period last year. Chief executive, Kenton Jarvis, warned that the industrial action is presenting "unacceptable challenges". 'We are extremely unhappy with the strike action by the French ATC in early July, which as well as presenting unacceptable challenges for customers and crew also created unexpected and significant costs for all airlines," he said. He added that the walkout earlier this month was "very, very disruptive" as the company was forced to cancel nearly 700 flights at a cost of £15 million. Travel advice With a summer of further disruptions expected, The Sun's head of travel Lisa Minot has advised what you should do if travelling this summer. She said: "Whatever happens if it is [your flight] delayed or cancelled for reasons outside of the the airlines control, then unfortunately there is no compensation due. "But the airline does have a duty of care to look after you. "If your flight is cancelled and it is the airline's fault ... then you could be due compensation. "It could be anything up to £520." Last month Ryanair also said that this summer would be the worst summer for flight delays and cancellations. The airline revealed the worst air traffic control centres (ATCs) for delays and this included the UK as the fifth worst. Ryanair said that the European Commission and European governments "have taken no action to fix their shoddy ATC services and ATC delays will now be even worse in summer 2025". Micheal O'Leary, the airline's CEO, also said that if staff shortages and ATC issues are not sorted, there will be "record ATC flight delays this summer". The airline's 'League of Delays' revealed that France and Spain have been the most impacted so far this year, with 15,634 and 11,576 flights delayed respectively. The airline has also claimed that 90 per cent of their flight cancellations during the French ATC strikes, could have been avoided if overflights over France were allowed to take place. Many airlines are now calling on Brussels to complete the 'Single European Sky' project which would allow airlines to fly the most direct route possible within the EU. This would mean that airlines would not follow diversions via several points, but instead fly straight to a destination.

Flight compensation rules A look at your rights if a flight is delayed or cancelled, when your entitled to compensation and if your travel insurance can cover the costs. What are my rights if my flight is cancelled or delayed? Under UK law, airlines have to provide compensation if your flight arrives at its destination more than three hours late. If you're flying to or from the UK, your airline must let you choose a refund or an alternative flight. You will be able to get your money back for the part of your ticket that you haven't used yet. So if you booked a return flight and the outbound leg is cancelled, you can get the full cost of the return ticket refunded. But if travelling is essential, then your airline has to find you an alternative flight. This could even be with another airline. When am I not entitled to compensation? The airline doesn't have to give you a refund if the flight was cancelled due to reasons beyond their control, such as extreme weather. Disruptions caused by things like extreme weather, airport or air traffic control employee strikes or other 'extraordinary circumstances' are not eligible for compensation. Some airlines may stretch the definition of "extraordinary circumstances" but you can challenge them through the aviation regulator the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Will my insurance cover me if my flight is cancelled? If you can't claim compensation directly through the airline, your travel insurance may refund you. Policies vary so you should check the small print, but a delay of eight to 12 hours will normally mean you qualify for some money from your insurer. Remember to get written confirmation of your delay from the airport as your insurer will need proof. If your flight is cancelled entirely, you're unlikely to be covered by your insurance.

Now Ryanair pay staff bonuses to catch out passengers with oversized cabin bags - after EasyJet introduced similar incentive
Ryanair is paying staff bonuses to catch out passengers who try to sneak oversized cabin bags onto flights – and they can make up to €80 a month just from enforcing the strict rules. A leaked payslip shows how one former employee earned a 'gate bag bonus' for flagging up bags that broke the airline's famously tight size restrictions. The ex-worker claimed they pocketed around €1.50 (£1.30) for every oversized bag they reported, according to the Sunday Times, although they said the monthly bonus was capped. Ryanair, which made a staggering €13 billion in revenue last year, confirmed on Saturday that staff are financially rewarded for flagging bags that breach the rules – with passengers charged up to €75 for each oversized item caught at the gate. But despite confirming the scheme, the airline refused to say exactly how much staff are paid as part of this 'gate bag bonus'. A Ryanair spokesperson said: 'We do pay commission to our agents who identify and charge for oversized bags, but these fees are paid by less than 0.1 per cent of passengers who don't comply with our agreed bags rules. 'Our message to those 0.1 per cent of passengers is simple: please comply with our generous bag rules or you will be charged at check-in or at the gate. 'For the 99.9 per cent of our passengers who comply with our rules we say thank you and keep flying as you have nothing to worry about.' Currently, Ryanair allows just one small bag measuring 40 x 20 x 25cm free of charge, as long as it fits under the seat. A second, larger cabin bag (up to 10kg) comes with a fee starting at €6. But change is on the horizon. The airline said earlier this month that it will increase the size of free hand luggage to 40 x 30 x 20cm – in line with upcoming EU rules banning airlines from charging for small carry-ons. However, those regulations haven't yet come into effect. The revelation of Ryanair's bonus scheme comes just months after the airline's chief marketing officer Dara Brady claimed no such commissions were being paid. Speaking in April to Ireland's Virgin Media News, he insisted: 'We don't pay our staff commission for bags. [The policy] is about protecting the amount of bags we can bring on board. 'We can only take a limited amount of bags on board, so our staff have to be very conscious of the bag sizes that people are taking. I reiterate that there's been no change in the Ryanair bag policy and if people travel with the right size bags, well you'll have a great flight with Ryanair.' But Ryanair isn't the only airline profiting from passengers' luggage slip-ups. An internal email leaked earlier this year revealed that easyJet was also running a bonus scheme for staff who enforce its own baggage rules. The message, sent to employees at Swissport, which manages gates for easyJet at several UK airports, confirmed agents would earn £1.20 per oversized bag caught at the gate – £1 after tax. The 'easyJet gate bag revenue incentive' is reportedly still running at airports including Belfast, Birmingham, Glasgow, Jersey, Liverpool, and Newcastle. Swissport's Dean Martin, a station manager at Glasgow Airport, wrote that the payments were designed to 'reward agents doing the right thing'. And it doesn't stop there. At airports like Gatwick, Bristol, and Manchester, DHL Supply Chain workers are also believed to be getting a 'nominal amount' per oversized bag detected.
