Shoppers race to Poundstretcher for easyJet-approved £19.99 case that can ‘carry more items & beat weight restrictions’
HOLIDAYMAKERS on a budget are rushing to their nearest Poundstretcher store to get their hands on its reduced luggage.
So if you need a new case for an upcoming trip, but you’re keen to save your cash for the resort bar, this could be the deal for you.
The stunning and affordable bags come in a range of sizes, with more than enough room to fit everything you’ll need for your adventures.
There’s no need to panic over pesky airline restrictions, as online retailer Swolit says the cabin bag option is suitable for easyJet, British Airways, Emirates and Virgin Atlantic.
The cabin case measures 45 x 36 x 20cm and weighs just 2.2kg.
One bargain hunter, named Vanessa, spotted the Bordlite bags in her local branch of Poundstretcher.
Eager to share her find with other money-conscious travellers, she took to social media to alert them.
She shared a quick snap of the luggage to Facebook’s Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, where 2.6 million users share deals, offers and money-saving tips.
Vanessa simply captioned her post: “Suitcase, Poundstretcher.”
She told members a large suitcase cost £29.99.
The medium case cost £24.99.
While the small cabin case costs £19.99.
Her picture showed all three sizes of case in two colour choices – a sleek black or classy champagne.
The bags feature a sturdy hardshell case, ideal for keeping your belongings safe while on your travels.
And for an added layer of safety, they’ve got a combination lock, so you can relax onboard with the peace of mind that your belongings are secured away.
They cases are lightweight and come with four 360° double spinner wheels for easy manoeuvrability (just what you need for those last-minute dashes to the gate!)
And they feature an adjustable trolley handle, which can be tucked away when not in use.
Facebook users were quick to tag their friends in the comment section, shocked at the incredible value for money.
One person alerted her mate, writing: “Look how cheap these are!”
Her pal replied: “We need to have a look for them.”
