One packing question for experienced travelers
Just got my first Air Boss. Beautiful bag, very well made. However, I
have one question for experienced travelers who have traveled with this and similar bags: Where does the loose but important stuff go, like cell phones, pens, eyeglasses, calculator, alarm clock, slim flash lights, etc? The bag I was using most recently, though inferior in many ways (leather, heavier, smaller, and has a pre-9/11 frame that has screeners squinting at the x-ray image every time!) has one compartment's inner wall lined with pockets of various shapes and sizes where one can stick such stuff, keeping them secure as well as accessible. Since Air Boss is designed and used by experienced travelers, I am sure there is an answer to this, but I can't imagine it at the moment and I thought I'd just ask. When you are traveling, where do such gadgets go? |

One packing question for experienced travelers
from this site http://www.redoxx.com/catalog/carry-...-air-boss.html
$225, I am still using my simple rucksack for hand baggage from 1998 which at that time cost say + - $25, the only thing about the Air Boss is that it makes you look like a rite prick/fashion victim and you have money to spend. Also you will not have to worry about all your ":important stuff" as most of it is now banned from being taken on board as hand baggage "RPSinha" wrote in message ... Just got my first Air Boss.

Since Air Boss is designed and used by experienced travelers, I am sure there is an answer to this, but I can't imagine it at the moment and I thought I'd just ask. When you are traveling, where do such gadgets go? I have no clue what an Air Boss is, but I carry a backpack with me when I travel. My backpack is a Samsonite that's designed to carry a laptop. All my small items such as my cell phone simply go into one of the small pockets in the back pack. I get rid of pocket change before I go to the airport, but if I still have some, I just dump it in the pocket with my cell phone, keys, PDA, etc. I do not check this bag; I carry it with me. As far as eye glasses are concerned, mine are on my face in front of my eyes. If my eyes were the type where I needed different glasses for different things, the pair I didn't need to wear would go with my extra pair of glasses that I usually carry with me in my checked luggage. I do not carry an alarm clock with my when I travel by air, but if I did, I would stow it in my checked luggage along with a flash light (which I do bring with me). I only carry on board the items that are of great value to me and that would pose me a considerable inconvenience if they were lost or damaged in transit. |

Why are people spreading so much misinformation about this? Neil |

When you are traveling, where do such gadgets go? At 8 inches fat its also too fat for a carry on bag , currently at uk airports, so if you checking in in the uk its a total waste of money |

I guess it does depend on your eye sight and how helpless you'd be without your glasses. |

However, I have one question for experienced travelers who have traveled with this and similar bags: Where does the loose but important stuff go, like cell phones, pens, eyeglasses, calculator, alarm clock, slim flash lights, etc? I personally use a regular backpack that's large enough for my laptop, should I need to carry it; and that provides all the space for gadgets I might need in a separate compartment. However, the simple answer to your problem seems to be - get a zip-up bag, like the toiletries kits provided on business class by many airlines, and put all your gadgets in there. Then put the bag somewhere accessible in your AirBoss. Rupa Bose www.rupabose.org |
