Andy Strapz from £20 a pair

The makers of these luggage straps say they’re stronger and safer than bungees. They are 50mm wide and come in 75cm, 1m and 1.5m lengths and are the brainchild of an emergency nurse who’d seen eye injuries caused by other types of luggage cords. They secure using Velcro and their flat profile means they won’t cut into the cargo they’re securing. www.nippynormans.com
