Win a pair of O2 Suitcase Headphones

Ever tried wearing half your holiday wardrobe at the boarding gate? You’re not alone. New O2 research found that 67% of UK travellers worry about hand luggage restrictions and 39% have left belongings behind to avoid extra baggage charges.

So we teamed up with content creators Live The Dash to make Suitcase Headphones - an oversized pair of headphones with hidden space for a few extra holiday essentials. They’re a playful prototype designed to show the lengths travellers go to when trying to avoid unexpected costs.

Suitcase Headphones are a conceptual prototype created for marketing purposes. They are not approved cabin baggage and should not be used to get around airline rules. Always check and follow your airline’s luggage limits.

Got a travel hack that makes travelling simpler, cheaper or more comfortable? Email your travel hack to TheDrop@virginmediao2.co.uk by 11.59pm on Sunday 9 August 2026 for a chance to win.
