Home Bargains brings back ‘hassle-free’ £6 luggage approved by 30 airlines

The deal is back in an exclusive sale

Home Bargains has brought back a “lightweight” piece of luggage that will be instantly approved for travel on dozens of airlines as an under-seat cabin bag. The offer reduces the price from £14.99 to just £5.99, while stocks last.

Describing it online, Home Bargains said that the Bordlite Under Seat Cabin Bag is a “lightweight, compact travel buddy with three external pockets and a long shoulder strap”. It is ideal for “organised journeys and approved by over 30 airlines”, according to the brand.

The approximate bag dimensions were shared as 40 x 30 x 20cm. Shoppers can be assured the bag is suitable for free travel on most major airlines, such as Ryanair, easyJet, TUI Airways, Jet2, Wizz Air and more.

Below is a full list of the 30 airlines which accept this size (or larger) when booking. In most cases, carriers include a free personal item or underseat item with the ticket price — but always check with the airline directly before risking an unexpected airport charge.
