No Carry-on Bags Allowed

As many of you already know, as of last week's foiled transatlantic terror threat carry-on bags are no longer allowed on flights originating in the U.K. bound for the U.S. At this point, all you are allowed to bring on board is your passport, wallet, keys and any prescription meds you may need during the flight. To carry it they want you to put it in a clear plastic bag. Eewwww! How un-jet-setter! In planning my upcoming trip to London, I found a great little clear carrier at Flight 001 to solve this problem and to avoid the crinkling of plastic. Check out the PACKAGING on this document carrier.

The red wallet inside is NOT what you are looking at here (it's hard to get this from the picture). What you want is the package the wallet comes it. It's a clear (the red inside is actually the document case you are SUPPOSED to be buying), thick plastic with a zip lock top and just the right size to fit all of the items listed above. It's also has that necessary touch of design with the document label neatly placed in the top corner. PLUS you can use it as a pointer! Typically this item goes for $15. But right now Flight 001 is having a sale on selected colors (red, lime green, kelly green and light blue) for $5.99. It doesn't matter which color you choose since you are buying this for the PACKAGING, not the actual microfiber case housed with (although that item can be used as well in your checked luggage). If you are a frequent traveler to London, nab yourself one of these smart document cases before the sale ends!
