IF you’re planning a mid-term trip or maybe a weekend away to visit some Christmas markets, B&M has just the thing.
The bargain retailer has an underseat cabin bag that will help you cut down on luggage fees when travelling.
B&M slashed the price of an underseat cabin bag from £18 to just £5[/caption]
Fit everything you need under the seat and avoid any baggage expenses at the airport.
This handy bag fits the criteria of most airlines, though shoppers are advised that these may vary.
Be sure to check with your airline ahead of travelling to find out the exact restrictions on cabin bag allowance.
Bargain bag
The budget-friendly bag was shared by a shopper on the Facebook page Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK.
According to the poster, the item makes an “excellent travel bag” and is the “cheapest” they’ve seen.
The shopper went on to say there were “plenty” in their local B&M, though bargain hunters may want to hurry to snap up this deal.
This hand luggage has been moved to the clearance section of the shop, reduced from £18 to just £5.
Product details
The Bordlite buy measures 45cm in height and 36cm in width, with a depth of 20cm.
Accoding to the manufacturer, this makes the item approved for use on Easyjet.
And while it is designed for under the seat use, this bag also converts into a wheelie case.
Featuring two wheels and an extendable handle, the item can be easily transported.
It is also contructed with “durable material”, making it ideal for mutliple trips.
Other bargain hunters shared their thoughts on the deal in the comments section.
“Someone in our shop bought seven of these in one go,” wrote one commenter.
Another person admitted to purchasing six at once for their whole family.
