If you have a winter holiday on the horizon, or you’re set to travel this Christmas, you might want to consider snapping up luggage that is less likely to get lost at the airport. Earlier this year, Ryanair issued a warning to passengers who typically travel with black, navy or grey suitcases – urging them to alter their luggage to avoid any issues upon arrival.
A statement from Ryanair reads: “Make it easier to spot your checked-in luggage on the carousel, especially if your luggage is black, navy or grey (like 99.9 per cent of the population). Add a colourful luggage tag or ribbon to the handle so that there’s no confusion on arrival.”
Those worried about losing their bag are taking advantage of the luggage brand Antler’s sale with up to 40% off large, medium and cabin suitcases in a number of striking and stylish colours. The Logo Case from Antler is designed to offer you a streamlined and lightweight travel companion. Purposefully designed, the hard shell suitcase was £165 but is now £115 in yellow and midnight blue.

The luggage measures 55 x 40 x 20cm with a a capacity of 35.2L, making it suitable for taking on most budget airline flights without having to pay extra for size restrictions, though it is always wise to confirm with your airline. It prioritises functionality with an ergonomic grip handle and double spinner wheels for seamless navigation. Its expandable design allows for versatile packing, while the fully recycled interior lining offers organisation through two zipped compartments.
More than 80 people have left reviews for the Logo Case from Antler, many saying it is ‘stylish, lightweight and glides easily’. One person confirmed that it fits within the Ryanair restrictions at the time of their travel, writing: “Perfect size for Ryanair cabin bag. I tested it in a Ryanair measuring gauge at an airport. I wasn’t even travelling but wanted to be certain! Robust, very stylish and a gorgeous colour. Feels luxurious.”
Another customer said: “Lovely little case easy to spot due to the colour. Love the zipped compartment too.” And a third shared: “Really functional and super smooth, made travelling to the South of France by train very stress free. Was a bit disappointed how easily it gets scratched though. First time I put it in the overhead shelf on train it was damaged.”
With an even greater saving of £62, the Antler Cabin Suitcase in teal has dropped to £93 down from £155. It’s the same size as the Logo case, measuring 55 x 40 x 20cm, and made from polycarbonate, the suitcase promises to be light and strong – so it’s easy to wheel through the airport, but can also withstand all the bumps and knocks that come with travel.
Elsewhere on the Antler website, larger suitcases are also on sale. The Large Logo Suitcase in mustard yellow was £225 and is now £157.50. Measuring 81 x 53.7 x 34.3cm, it features two zipped compartments and double spinner wheels to help navigate on your travels.
Amazon has a range of cabin cases which are Wizz Air, Ryanair and EasyJet approved, such as this £39.95 Cabin Max Anode 24L TwinWheel. If you would prefer something a little bit more personalised, Katie Loxton has these £159.99 Oxford Cabin Suitcases in a range of colours that can be customised.
