Flight 001

With 4 retail locations in LA, NYC, Chicago and San Francisco, Flight 001 is soaring to new heights taking shoppers on a bit of a journey towards what's chic in stylish travel. If you're an international man of mystery, or woman, you'll want to check out Flight 001. Maybe some people aren't concerned about how they look when they travel, but I actually plan my outfit days in advance and make sure everything I wear coordinates with my carry-on bag and luggage. I know, a bit over the top, but it's just how I roll. If you're a tad bit OCD when it comes to looking chic as your plane lifts you off to exciting destinations (your parents house in Nebraska counts too), then check out these nifty products and see if any of them would improve your overall cuteness. Flight 001 carries everything from passport holders to laundry sets by Tocca and tech gadgets, in flight goodies, luggage, and everything else needed to make that 9 hour flight a little bit sweeter. Sorry, they don't carry chairs with more leg room, and muzzles for those brats sitting in front of you, but with plenty of vodka and an iPod, you'll get through it. "Our final passenger just boarded the plane and girllll look at that - the cutest passport we ever did see. (two snaps up and a twist) Passengers, now we are ready for lift-off, baby. Mmm hmmm" Located in San Francisco at 525 Hayes Street or online at http://www.flight001.com/ more

1 black rolley bag. 2 black rolley bags. 3 black rolley bags. All that luggage making its way around the carousel at the airport has the same boring look. Travellers who prefer things that are a little more unique or have had actual design concepts applied to their construction should visit Flight 001. The store has loads of interesting accessories from luggage (of course) to gadgets. Not only is it a great place to go for your own travel needs but it's a veritable jackpot of gift ideas.

Flight 001 is a little travel shop in the middle of my favorite neighborhood of Hayes Valley. They have all the trendy things one might need for travelling abroad. The store is set up like the inside of an airplane and they stock cute (but expensive) luggage and travel bags, along with books and whatever travel accessories you could think of. It's a great place to buy a friend a fun and funky gift as well. more
