I'm desperately needing a flight bag to put my hand luggage in, going to spain on 15 july! i've tried argos and woolworths but i can't get one without buying a whole set of suitcases, which i can't afford and dont want!

anyone any ideas where i can buy just a flight bag?!

Hey Leanne

They have a pretty smart one from Antler in the Avon catalogue! Shame I'm just taking my handbag!

They also have some pretty nice ones in Makro cash and carry

Tesco have some nice luggage ranges, from full suitcase sets to individual bags and holdalls, from luxury prices to budget. The website has a better choice than the store. HERE is a small selection.

thanks cyberspacekadette

i've found one i like on ebay but it gives the dimensions in inches!

thomsonfly's regulations say the flight bag must be no more than 55x40x20cm and this is 13.5"x9.5"x8" which i think is well within the dimensions but i'm absolutely no use at converting inches to cm's so if anyone has any ideas could they let me know asap please!!! thank you!

Hi Leanne
2.5cm =1 inch. 30cm = 12 inches.
Was going to suggest Matalan for a cabin bag.

Hi Leanne,
Just a thought we are flying with Thomas Cook and their dimensions differ slightly to those I got from Manchester Airport site!!!!

First places that spring to mind are TK Maxx or T J Hughes. Usually last season or end of lines, but you can pick up a bargain.

Leanne,

13.5"x9.5"x8" in cm = 34.5 x 24 x 20.5

So it's well within your limits :wink:

I'd second Pams suggestion of TK Maxx. I picked up a great one last year from there and got it for less than half its retail price. Noticed they had a lot when I popped in earlier this week. May be worth a look.
