The spacious bag folds into its own pocket for easy storage when not in use and opens up into a roomy 25L main compartment.
It comes with two outer zip pockets, an inner pocket and has a max weight capacity of 15kg.
Unfolded, the bag measures 51cm long, 22cm wide and 40cm high – well within the cabin bag size limits for airlines like Ryanair, EasyJet and Jet2.
Shoppers also get peace of mind with a three-year warranty included.
Lidl is also launching a £6 foldable backpack in stores from Thursday, June 5, which is perfect for Ryanair flights this summer.
The 20-litre capacity bag folds into its own pocket and supports up to 15kg.
If you're after more affordable travel bags, other retailers are also stepping up with deals worth a look.
Tesco has launched a major discount on its Constellation range of suitcases, with some cabin-sized bags scanning at tills for as little as £12.
These cabin cases are EasyJet-approved, meeting the airline's strict size and weight restrictions for free carry-on baggage.
Lidl is offering an affordable garden product for just £3.49 that is highly effective at suppressing weeds and enhancing the appearance of flower beds.
Items to always buy at Lidl
The product, a 40-litre bag of decorative wood chips, serves multiple purposes including acting as mulch, retaining soil moisture, preventing weed growth, and adding aesthetic value to gardens.
Savvy shoppers can save up to £679 a year at Lidl using insider tips and smart shopping strategies.
Key savings come from utilizing the Lidl Plus app, which provides access to weekly discounts, personalized coupons, and rewards for hitting spending targets.
How to save money at Lidl
Lidl reduces items at the start of the day, and the best deals can be found between 7am and 8am, when most stores open.
Shoppers can often find cooked meats, salmon fillets and breads reduced by 30 per cent or more.
Not only does Lidl have its own range of reasonably priced alcohol, it also has its own knock-offs of branded favourites – so say cheers to its bargain booze.
Everyone knows about the "Middle of Lidl" – it's here where you'll find a load of random stuff you didn't realise you needed, at decent prices.
But if you are hoping to avoid spending more than you planned, you can check what will be in the "Middle of Lidl" on the supermarket's website in advance.
The Middle of Lidl is refreshed every Thursday and Sunday.
Shoppers can also keep tabs on what's appearing in the "Pick of the Week" section on the Lidl website.
The discounts happen every Thursday and are usually on fruit, vegetables, and meat.
Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.

I tested Whispering Angel wine to Lidl's Breath of Paradise
This 75cl light pink concoction costs £10.99 per bottle and was made as an alternative to Whispering Angel. Produced by Château d'Esclans it is made from choice grapes in the Esclans Valley and the Cotes de Provence region. It has proved to be quite a popular option for the summer season, but it's not exactly cheap. Most sites I've found list it for around £22.50, which is what I picked it up for from Ocado. While I am not a massive wine drinker, the fact that Lidl had prioritised quite a bit of their marketing for Breath of Paradise in highlighting it as an alternative to Whispering Angel begged for a comparison to be done. Both wines are bottled in France, with Lidl's option being made from grenache, syrah and cinsault grapes, so it would be interesting to see if that made enough of a difference in the taste. For Lidl, a £10.99 wine is expensive for them, so it still had a lot to live up to, but the emphasis was still on Whispering Angel to justify the extra cost. I compared Whispering Angel rosé wine to Lidl's Breath of Paradise As mentioned previously, I am not a big wine drinker, but I have slowly progressed from liking prosecco to white wine and rosé every now and again. I'm still not quite there with red wine yet, but I hope in the next few years my palate expands a bit and becomes more sophisticated. After purchasing the wines, it was interesting to see how much inspiration Lidl had taken in the design of the bottle. The two bottles were very similar in design (Image: Newsquest) The gold seal, white label, calligraphic writing and crest in the centre of the bottle all added up to a very similar overview. While the design was very close, how would the taste compare? I decided to try the Whispering Angel first, as it was the original, and there was a bit of trouble in getting the cork out. In my first go of it, the corkscrew got in, but then partially disintegrated the cork in the attempt to pull it out. The Whispering Angel was crisp and went down smoothly (Image: Newsquest) A second attempt was more successful, but it did mean bits of cork were now floating about in the light pink drink. After filtering the wine to make sure we got bits out, it was finally time to give it a taste. It should be said that both wines had been placed in the fridge at the same time, so they were at the same temperature. The wine was crisp, had floral notes in the taste and went down fairly easily. There wasn't much to separate the two wines (Image: Newsquest) I've not had a huge amount of rosé wine in my time, but it seemed decent, although with the price tag attached, it should be. After cleansing my palate with a bit of water (I'm told that's what wine critics do), I then went onto Breath of Paradise. What I found remarkable is outside of some subtle differences in flavour, there really wasn't much to separate them. Recommended reading: Both are crisp and go down quite nicely on a warm evening, but there's not a lot to indicate that one is £11 more expensive than the other. Obviously, it should be noted I am not a professional wine critic, and I imagine there are those in the industry who would take my observations with a grain of salt, saying there's plenty to differentiate them. However, the average shopper isn't going to be at that level, and I imagine they might arrive at the same conclusion.
