If you're looking for new bags or suitcases for your summer getaway, this could be the perfect opportunity.

As part of the Amazon Spring Deals Days promotion, the prices of some lust worthy luggage has been slashed. From Ryanair-friendly underseaters to designer cases for discerning travellers, there are some good deals to be found.

Savvy shoppers must be quick though, as the sale ends on Monday, March 31. Here are four of my favourite offers that could be ideal for your next trip.

If you are travelling with Ryanair, EasyJet or Wizz Air you'll be aware of just how strict their hand luggage restrictions are. With this in mind, I've thrown in an Amazon cabin bag that has been designed exactly for that purpose.

The VMIKIV Cabin Bag is the right size for Ryanair(Image: Amazon)

The VMIKIV Cabin Bag is now £16.92 (down from £19.95) and has been a top choice among travellers, with over 2,000 sold last month. Designed for convenience, it features strong shoulder straps, multiple compartments—including a laptop section and waterproof pocket—an anti-theft pocket and a suitcase-style 180-degree opening.

Measuring 40x20x25cm, it meets Ryanair’s strict hand luggage limits and is also suitable for airlines like easyJet, British Airways, Jet2, and TUI without extra fees.

With over 1,200 reviews one buyer called it: "Perfect backpack for travel on Ryan Air. Fits under seat perfectly. Holds more than you expect," while another added: "Size is perfect and will hold a surprisingly large amount."

Another traveller was less impressed, leaving a two-star review that said: "The iPad pocket isnt particularly strong."

The Antler Juno is now half price at £80(Image: Amazon)

If you are looking for a cabin case that is more capacious, the Antler Juno Expandable Cabin Case is now half price at £80. This chic hard-shell suitcase comes in three distinct colours and is an ideal choice for passengers flying with Jet2 and easyJet, as it complies with both airlines' maximum size restrictions.

A brilliant buy from this designer luggage brand, the case is also available in medium and large sizes if you fancy a matching set.

Buyers love the Juno range, with one buyer calling it: "Fantastic suitcase! Sturdy and lightweight." Another agreed saying: "It’s super spacious and sturdy and looks super cool."

A third buyer was less impressed though, saying: "Rather flimsier than expected and trying to set the locking code is a total nightmare!! Expected a lot better of Antler - think we’ll stick to Samsonite in future."

The Antler Saturn has 30% off in the sale(Image: Amazon)

Fans of the Antler brand will be delighted that the Saturn Hard Shell Case is also included in the Spring sale. With 30% off, the cabin case is now £108.50 and boasts practical features including a robust polycarbonate shell, a lightweight design for easy lifting, four double spinner wheels and three zipped compartments for organised packing.

With most Antler cabin cases costing upwards of £120, this is still a great buy. Travellers have called the Saturn "a lovely cabin case," that is "well thought out with the internal pockets and zip up compartments."

With 87 five-star reviews on Amazon it's hard to find fault, but one buyer did stress that "the lock can be a little bit fiddly."

The Aerolite Cabin Case is a good buy (man with rubber rings not included)(Image: Amazon)

For travellers that would prefer the flexibility of a soft sided suitcase, the Aerolite Expandable Ryanair Priority Max is now £44.39 - 20% off the original price of £59.99.

The suitcase is made from durable 600D jacquard polyester and features high-mileage rollerblade wheels and a telescopic aluminum handle, a large double-zipped front pocket and a smaller top pocket for quick access to passports and travel money.

As the name suggests, it fits the maximum luggage restrictions of 55x40x20cm making it suitable for passengers who have paid for those all important extra inches.

Lightweight and spacious, buyers love it. One five-star review out of 1,480 said: "Lovely little case. Cant believe how much it can hold." A second delighted buyer added: "Loved this case as it can takes soo much in and fits perfectly in most airlines cabin."

Some buyers however found that the zip on the case wasn't very reliable. One disappointed traveller said "Very good cabin bag, but the zip broke after 1 use."

If you can't find what you are looking for on Amazon, the Katie Loxton Siena Canvas Cabin Bag is another favourite of mine. Available to buy at John Lewis for £69, it oozes good looks and practicality.

For passengers looking to spend less, Dunelm has 30% off the IT Luggage Sandy Skin Gravitate Hard Shell Suitcase range with prices starting from £31.50.
