Savvy travellers save up to 30% on 'game-changing' Antler accessory perfect for overpackers
The iconic British luggage brand Antler is helping travellers pack more for less with the addition of one simple packing accessory. Better still, overpackers can shoehorn even more in thanks to the Antler sale, which offers up to 50% off selected travel must-haves.
The Antler Packing Cubes have been designed to help travellers utilise every available inch of space, making them perfect for passengers flying with Ryanair, easyJet and Jet2. These clever cubes have compression capabilities, meaning you can get more in your case for the ultimate space-saving hack.
Deals start with a Two-Piece Packing Cube Set reduced from £30 to £24, offering a small and medium packing cube in a choice of colours. Spacious enough to keep essentials organised on the go, this low cost set would work well with under-seat-size luggage.
For travellers who want to pack that little bit more, the Four-Piece Packing Cube Set starts from £35, reduced from £50. A true travel saviour, each set comprises one large cube measuring 24.5 x 33 x 10cm, one medium cube measuring 33 x 17.5 x 10cm and two small cubes measuring 17.5 x 16.5 x 10cm.
The largest Six-Piece Packing Cube Set has also seen prices slashed in selected colours - was £75, now £60. With the addition of one X-large cube measuring 43 x 33 x 12cm and an additional medium cube, this set is spacious enough to tackle family holidays or longer adventures.
Travellers can also use the compression cubes with almost any suitcase, backpack or cabin bag. The cubes come with double compression zippers that help to squish the bags down to make them lie flat. Made with a mesh panel on the top, it's easy to see what's in each cube without having to unzip them.
According to Antler, these ingenious cubes are "the perfect way to organise your suitcase. Use them to separate your tops from your socks, and there's no need to unpack - simply lift them straight out of your suitcase on arrival."
Should the Antler cubes not fit the bill, there are plenty more to choose from. Over at Nere, a 5 Pack Packing Cube Set is now reduced to £23. The pack comes in a selection of colours and sizes and buyers have called them "great quality."
Amazon shoppers can also save on a three-pack of Gomatic Packing Cubes, that feature a zippered compression system to condense clothing. Available for £75.99 they are effective, but also more expensive than the Antler version.
For buyers on a budget, Argos is selling a Home Packing Cubes Set Of 4 for just £12. Practical enough to help keep clothes organised on the go, shoppers have given them a 4.5 out of five-star rating.
Holidaymakers seem to be impressed with the Antler Packing Cubes, giving the best-selling Four-Piece Set an impressive 4.9 out of five-star rating across 960 reviews on the website. One buyer said, " Game changer. These packing cubes are spacious and so useful. The compression zips make these stand out from cheaper versions, fitting more into each cube. I love these and now have two sets."
Another added: " Lifesaver! Packing for a two-month trip with various climates—these cubes have been a lifesaver! They've allowed me to keep my luggage to a minimum and made space in the suitcases for souvenirs."
A third buyer was equally as delighted, adding: "Really pleased with the packing cases, plenty of room with a top you can see what you've packed. As usual with Antler, they are great quality. Highly recommend them."
While nearly all reviews have praised the upscale travel accessories, one buyer noted that they were a "good quality product" but "a lot smaller than expected."
Overall, buyers seem to have found the best way to maximise their packing power. Another five-star review summed it up, saying: "I can't tell you how these have revolutionised my packing. Getting to the other end and being able to find anything and everything without having to unpack the whole case is a game-changer. I would absolutely recommend these to anyone who is looking for ease of packing and finding another 50% capacity in what they can pack."

EasyJet, TUI, Ryanair, Jet2 and British Airways alcohol rules passengers need to know before flying
The summer holidays have arrived! Brits from across the nation are heading off on their jollies, whether it's a Spanish getaway, an Italian adventure or a trip to more distant shores, airports are brimming with travellers. Once you've sorted your boarding pass, passport and other essentials for your flight, many choose to enjoy a pint in the departure lounge, while others prefer to wait until they're airborne. However, this might be trickier than you'd think. Some passengers may fancy a tipple to soothe pre-flight nerves or simply to unwind during a lengthy journey. But there are specific rules about drinking alcohol on planes, reports Chronicle Live. We've looked into the latest regulations and policies, which can differ between airlines. We've compiled a list of the most popular airlines to help you best prepare for your next holiday. TUI TUI's guidance says alcohol is allowed in carry-on baggage or checked-in hold baggage if it does not contain more than 70 per cent alcohol by volume and when in retail packaging with a maximum total quantity per person of five litres. But drinking it on board Tui flights is not allowed. Any liquids you buy from duty-free must be in a sealed security bag, which you will be given at the checkout. You need to keep the item and the receipt sealed in the bag throughout the journey. It was in 2019 that the drinking of duty-free alcohol on all flights was banned in an attempt to stamp out anti-social behaviour on planes. World Duty Free, which operates all the shops at airports, voluntarily took the steps of putting booze in sealed bags that say 'Do not open alcohol purchases until your final destination.' If you are connecting with another flight at your first stop, security officers might open the duty-free bag to screen the item. If you let them know you are catching another flight, they will reseal it in a new bag. easyJet EasyJet says you can bring alcohol on the plane but cannot drink it during the flight. The airline's guidance states: "You can bring alcohol bought in the airside departure lounge into the cabin as long as it's unopened. Alcohol must be lower than 70% alcohol by volume and packed either in an airport shopping bag or in your cabin bag. "It's strictly forbidden to drink any alcohol that has not been purchased on board the aircraft and those found consuming their own alcohol may face prosecution." Ryanair Ryanair says passengers can carry duty-free alcohol onboard to many destinations but must not consume it during the flight. The airline released a fresh update and told customers it had implemented a new ban on bringing any booze on board for anyone flying from the UK to Ibiza, Alicante, Barcelona, Malaga, Palma, and Tenerife South. "In order to prioritize the comfort and safety of all passengers, Ryanair will implement the following restrictions on your upcoming flight to Spain," the airline told customers in the email. "Customers will not be allowed to carry alcohol on board and all cabin baggage will be searched at the boarding gates. "Any alcohol purchased in airport shops or elsewhere must be packed carefully in a suitable item of cabin baggage, which will be tagged at the gate and then placed in the aircraft hold free of charge if you have purchased priority boarding or have a small piece of hand luggage. "If the bag is unsuitable for placing in the hold (e.g. plastic bag) then customers will be required to dispose of the alcohol in the bins provided. Boarding gates will be carefully monitored and customers showing any signs of anti-social behaviour or attempting to conceal alcohol will be denied travel without refund or compensation." Anyone found concealing alcohol and bringing it on board risks being removed from the flight, without refund or compensation. The decision is designed to cut down on incidents of anti-social behaviour among Brits onboard flights to popular hotspots. They recently spoke out about restricting alcohol outside of their planes too, wanting a 2-drink limit for passengers in the airport. A spokesperson explained: "We fail to understand why passengers at airports are not limited to two alcoholic drinks (using their boarding pass in exactly the same way they limit duty free sales), as this would result in safer and better passenger behaviour on board aircraft, and a safer travel experience for passengers and crews all over Europe." Jet2 Jet2 says passengers cannot bring on board any alcohol for the purpose of drinking while on the aircraft. Only alcoholic drinks purchased on board are allowed to be consumed during the flight. Alcoholic beverages, containing more than 24% but not more than 70% alcohol by volume, must be kept in their sealed duty-free bags and be no more than five litres per person. In 2016, Jet2 stopped serving any alcohol on morning flights to prevent drunken behaviour. It said at the time: "We believe that stopping sales of alcohol before 08:00 BST on our morning flights is an effective way to ensure everyone has an enjoyable and comfortable journey. We understand that we're the first of the European airlines to take this bold step and call upon industry partners in airports to also trade responsibly." British Airways British Airways says there's no limit on the number of alcoholic beverages you can travel with if their alcohol volume is below 24%. You can bring up to five litres of alcohol with an alcohol volume between 24% and 70%, and this can travel in your cabin bag if you purchased it in the airport duty-free shop or in your checked-in baggage. You can't drink it on board and can only enjoy alcohol purchased from the in-flight cabin services. Drinks above 70% alcohol volume are not permitted on board BA aircraft in either checked baggage or hand baggage. Emirates Like other airlines, Emirates allows passengers to bring alcohol on board. The alcoholic beverages must be in their original retail packaging, contain more than 24% but no more than 70% alcohol, and the total quantity per person cannot exceed five litres. Additionally, duty-free alcohol must remain in its bag during the flight, as it cannot be consumed on the plane. In 2018, Emirates clarified its rules, saying people WERE allowed to drink alcohol on its flights (though only from the in-flight service). It said: "Alcohol consumption is not prohibited on our flights. Furthermore, alcohol is also served in the lounges in Dubai airport and available for purchase in the duty-free." Visitors should be aware of the alcohol regulations upon landing in Dubai. Tourists are permitted to consume alcohol only in approved venues such as hotels, bars, nightclubs, and restaurants; drinking in public is not allowed. You could be arrested for public intoxication, so it's advisable to drink in moderation, especially if you plan to walk back to your hotel or move to another venue. Additionally, visitors are not allowed to purchase alcohol from off-licenses, as these are exclusively for locals who have a permit.

Eight in 10 Brits on a mission to get healthy by adding fruit and veg to their weekly shop, research reveals
EIGHT in 10 Brits are on a mission to buy British fruit and veg, according to research. A poll of 2,000 adults found 79 per cent agree supermarkets should do more to prioritise British produce. Advertisement 3 A study has found that eight in 10 Brits want to buy more food grown in the UK Credit: SWNS 3 A huge number of Brits also want to eat healthier too Credit: Getty The same percentage of Brits added it is important to include homegrown vegetables and salad in their weekly shop. Of these, 67 per cent said they want to support British farmers, and 47 per cent recognise it reduces the UK's reliance on imports. However, when looking at their shopping basket, just six per cent know where their produce was grown - despite 63 per cent wanting to be more knowledgeable about the origins of their produce. The research was commissioned by GrowUp Farms and its brand Unbeleafable, which offers salad leaves grown without pesticides, year-round, in climate-controlled conditions grown in the UK. Advertisement Will Howard, UK MD and CCO from the vertical farming company, said: 'It's really encouraging to see so many people looking for homegrown produce. 'There's real power in choosing local – it means fewer food miles, fresher taste, and more support for British farmers. 'But there is still a lot more to be done. 'Food insecurity remains a major challenge in the UK. In 2024, only half of the salad leaves eaten in the UK were grown here. Advertisement 'We're here to change the world by growing better, showing that people can back British produce – all while enjoying food which tastes amazing.' The research went on to reveal 62 per cent are eager to support British farming even if ends up costing them a little more. What is kefir? The fermented milk drink that could improve your energy, skin and even Alzheimer's Respondents estimate they willingly spend as much as £32 a month more on their shopping as a result of opting to buy locally grown fruit or veg. Overall, 72 per cent would be willing to spend more on British-grown vegetables over imported. Advertisement And, according to the survey conducted via OnePoll, more than two-thirds would pay more for UK-grown salad leaves. Will Howard from GrowUp Farms, which has its Unbeleafable products available in the likes of Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Co-op and Ocado added: 'We know shoppers want to integrate delicious, vibrant, and healthy food into their everyday meals, so we listened."

Nationalisation of train operators ‘tackling deep-rooted problems'
Bringing train operators into public ownership is 'tackling deep-rooted problems' with the railways, Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said. The Cabinet minister made the claim ahead of c2c becoming the second operator to be nationalised by the Labour Government on Sunday. The operator, which runs services between London Fenchurch Street and south Essex, has been owned by Italy's state-owned rail company Trenitalia since 2017. The Department for Transport (DfT) said c2c is 'consistently rated one of the best performing operators in the country'. It achieved a passenger satisfaction rating for the overall journey of 89% in the most recent research by watchdog Transport Focus. This was the joint sixth best performance out of 22 operators. Ms Alexander said: 'Whether you're shopping in Lakeside or walking along the beach in Southend-on-Sea, from this Sunday you will be able to get there on a train service run by the public, for the public. 'Public ownership is already tackling deep-rooted problems we see on the railway that's led to spiralling costs, fragmentation and waste.' Customers of a nationalised train company can use their tickets on another publicly-owned operator at no extra cost during disruption. Ms Alexander added: 'A unified network under Great British Railways (GBR) will take this further with one railway under one brand with one mission – delivering excellent services for passengers wherever they travel.' GBR is an upcoming public sector body that will oversee Britain's rail infrastructure and train operation. Nationalised services are currently the responsibility of DfT Operator. South Western Railway became the first operator brought into public ownership by the Labour Government in May. It joined Northern, TransPennine Express, Southeastern and LNER, which were nationalised under the Conservative government because of performance failings by the former owners of those franchises. Rob Mullen, managing director of c2c, said: 'We are proud of the reliable and high level of service we offer our passengers, consistently being rated as one of the best performing operators in the country. 'We now have a golden opportunity to collaborate with the wider family of publicly-owned operators, sharing our successes and best practice, but also learning from a wide range of different and diverse operators who have already benefited from public ownership, to drive even more improvements for the people and places we all serve. 'A unified and focused railway can deliver more for our communities, including better growth, jobs and houses.' Eddie Dempsey, general secretary of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union, welcomed the nationalisation of c2c but expressed frustration that staff cleaning its trains and stations will still be employed by private company Bidvest Noonan. He said: 'The injustice of outsourcing must end so all railway workers can reap the benefits of public ownership and greedy private contractors can no longer extract obscene profits from the industry. 'Our members working for Bidvest Noonan deserve decent pay and the same terms and conditions as their colleagues, and we will fight tooth and nail to achieve it.' Paul Nowak, general secretary of trade union body the TUC, said: 'We need a fully integrated national rail service that works for passengers and the rail workforce. 'That means tackling outsourcing in the sector.' The next operator to be nationalised will be Greater Anglia on October 12.
