Flight 001

It’s an interesting-​enough little travel boutique situated on a cool section of Smith Street. Fun to go in and browse. Emphasis on neat-​o gadgets and gear. Not a vast selection; mind – but just might have the esoteric ‘solution’ you really need. Prices: a little high but that’s perfectly reasonable. These are not items you would buy every day. Render unto Caesar, grok?

Great service the girls at the front desk were very kind and helpful. Definitely going back!

Very cool store. It has a lot of useful items you may not realize that you’d need while traveling. However, we came in about 10 min before the store was closing and they literally kicked us out, even though we were about to make several purchases. I understand locking the door so no new customers can come in, but to kick out multiple paying customers because of the impatient staff will make sure that I’ll never shop here again

I love this store! I wish I had the time (and money, let’s be honest) to travel more. But the selection of specialty items they have is awesome! They carry Herschel and Lipault bags here. They obviously carry others but those happen to be my favorite.
Although the décor is a bit bright and the music slightly Virgin-​airlines-​cheesy, I still enjoyed my shopping experience here.

I’ve always been a light packer. One of my ex bf’s once packed luggage big as a steamer trunk for a one week trip to Cancun. I blinked and checked the tickets to make sure we weren’t booked on a slow boat trip around the world. He in turn wanted to know why I wasn’t packed yet when I showed up with my small duffel. He thought that was my carry on. But even light packers can use some help here and there and Flight 001 can help even the most packing challenged.
The store has everything from luggage tags in numerous colors, to passport holders to neck pillows to luggage. Flight 001 has a huge assortment of labeled bags/​satchels to organize your things. Going scuba diving? Get the bag that says it’s for wet items like wetsuits. Is your man’s self esteem low lately because he teared up when he saw the Puppy Love Budweiser commercial? Sweetly hand him the organizer bag that says,“Man things”. For those who don’t travel, these bags can organize your handbag. This store is pure delight for anyone OCD.
The store is cylindrical inside to resemble the inside of an airplane. Merchandise was neatly displayed. The salesperson was friendly but not hovering. If you are traveling and need a special item, check out Flight 001. I saw many travel clocks, eye pillows, neck pillows but again, was most impressed by just the sheer number and color of bags to organize stuff.

Who said this place was moderately priced??? Someone suffering from severe jet lag I presume.
But I will admit that their stuff is quality.
I needed a really good sleep mask. You know, the ones that don’t crush your eyelashes into your eyeballs when you sleep. The ones with molded eye cups, that don’t block light by smashing your eyes into your frontal lobe. Flight 001 has them.
There is something to be said for a specialty shop in the age of Walmart. Planning a big trip and need to actually use your 5 senses in order to chose the items you need… Flight 001 is for you.

I was really struggling to find a unique gift for my lovah and found this place in the nick of time. Literally, the nick said St. Nick.
I picked up the world’s smallest humidifier and an insulated takeout tupperware container. BPA, leak proof and microwavable.
This place also has a nice selection of odds and ends ranging from luggage to practical bags, tags, guidebooks, thermoses etc. The gift wrapping, which they provided me free of charge, is also quite clever.
If you’re struggling to find something unique for a hard to find person, this place would be a good place to start.

Strange
Airport
Travel store
Where the prices
Are not drastically high. Worth a peek.

Nice place to pick up a bag for the almost upscale and hip travel adventurer. Not as pricey as locations I’ve seen in other cities.

This is the kind of store that I can’t pass by without walking in, even if things haven’t changed much inside. And all of a sudden I feel sorry for my crappy mess of a canvas tote that has dutifully served as my hand carry for years. When it comes to gift shopping for my traveling buddies, I go nuts here. A friend of mine bought me a jetlag relief kit for a trip to Asia. I paid it forward and bought another friend an adorable sushi-​shaped luggage tag (it was a toss up between that and one shaped like a Pez dispenser). The gift wrapping is funky, futuristic, and free. I love the clean design of the store. They have a fantastic selection of foldable bags, luggage, travel laundry/​lingerie bags, day bags, fanny packs (for lack of a better description), accessories for the flight, brightly colored passport holders, travel size toiletries, neck pillows… even foldable tupperware which I will be back to buy for myself. Cool stuff!

Do you travel a lot because your manager likes to send you on unnecessary business trips as retaliation for those times you made fun of his appetite, haircut, clothing, mannerisms and personality, and because he may or may not be trying to steal your girlfriend in your absence? No? Is that just me?
Well, whatever causes you to travel, Flight 001 has some awesome items you might want to check out. I wandered in searching for a toiletry bag. Although they carry several excellent options, personally, I feel $ 35 is too much to spend on a bag that holds my toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, and various STD medications.*
However, I was delighted by the numerous other things available: suitcases, passport holders, pillows, organizers, maps, tour (ist) guides, random gadgets… they’ve got it all. Including an impressive selection of mini-​games, like Monopoly on the Go, Travel Scrabble, and a sweet Desktop Bowling set.
I think my favorite items are the bag tags with comical inscriptions like, «I’m pretty sure this isn’t your bag.» Or, «Nothing worth stealing in here.»

*Just kidding. I obviously don’t wear deodorant.

some cool stuff. some gimmicks too. i think the pricing is what makes this store more of a window-​shopping kind of place. but if you have money to burn, there is probably something to find here.

What a great store for that person that likes to travel. It sucks when I leave my house right before I fly away and think that I forgot something (co’mon we all do that). Well if you are that type of person come here to get your «teeth cleaing kit» or your «place to keep your wet bathing suits» bag. Or how about when you are on a red eye flight and you wake up with some stank breath, here you can get your «red eye flight» kit which consist of mouth wash, a pack of chicklets, eye mask as well as some other cool items.
This spot has all of your travel needs. Check it out if you are around the area.

I like this store alot. Most of their goods have a sleek design. I love all the different travel accessories they carry. Its true, this place makes you nostalgic of the past. I wanted to change professions and be a stewardess when I stepped in here. That says alot about a store…
Their items are compact and stylish. Reminds me of European goods. Have fun in this place. It is definitely a money trapper :)

I love this store so much. They’ve got such cool stuff. Ya, it’s a little expensive and I probably don’t NEED it, but those are my favorite kind of stores. There is definitely some useful stuff in there though. I just bought the best backpack ever, but if you need travel chopsticks or a bag for your shoes or wet bathing suit or bras or any other random item, they’ve got that too. The guys that work there are nice too.

I travel a lot for work so I find that this store has all the little travel accessories I want and some I never know I wanted until I went inside. That is why I have a love/​hate relationship with Flight 001 I love it because of all the great stuff but I hate it because I always buy more than I was planning on and leave with a list of more stuff that I want.
I’ve been to some of the other locations but this one is my favorite, one of the reasons is the store explains that it got it’s name from PanAm flight 001 the only scheduled westbound round the world flight.

it is excellent that such a store exists. i know when i travel i get all jazzed to have pretty stuff to take with me. this involves buying tons upon tons of new things to wear but also, thanks to flight 001, involves new pretty things to house my new pretty things inside of like suitcases, toiletry kits, jewelry bags, passport holders, etc. there’s tons of good looking stuff to help you travel in style, plus nifty things that make jet setting a lot easier and more comfortable. i’m a fan of the neck pillows, the cleansing wipes and the luggage tags especially. i also love that they high quality products like malin + goetz and mario badescu in small, security-​check safe sizes that won’t get seized when you’re rushing to catch your flight. the prices can be a bit on the steeper side, but not egregiously so. the staff, however, leaves much to be desired. they seem to really, REALLY want to sell stuff-​asking often if you need any help and inquire as to what you’re looking for. okay, that i can handle even if i’m not a fan of being so sold to. however, the last few times i’ve been there and have actually tried to buy something, i’ve had 2 or 3 salespeople standing 4 feet from the register just chatting away and completely ignoring me patiently standing at the register with my purchases. this kinda customer ‘service’ makes me not exactly hasten to return.

I like this store, if for no other reason than it just feels strangely nostaligic. It reminds me of how wonderful I thought traveling was when I was a kid. Back when people would get dressed up for a long flights, the airlines would give you cool carryon bags and the flight attendants seemed like the most glamorous people on earth. Back when traveling was something really special.
This store it full of all sorts of random, travel-​related stuff, 90% of which you will probably never use, but you just want to have so you can look at it.
I have only been in on Sunday afternoons, but have never experienced pushy sales staff. I browsed around for a good 30 minutes and wasn’t pestered once by a salesperson. I got a friendly smile when I first walked in and a helpful answer to one of my questions.
I managed to walk out with only a sleep mask and one of those credit-​card-​sized maps of Central Park (I’ve been wanting one of those for a long time and have never managed to find one).
Overall, this is a cool place, even if you don’t find yourself traveling often.

Hey jetsetters, this is an awesome place to score fashionable travel gear. Forget the trial-​size aisle at Target — here you can find designer cosmetics and potions, shrunken to fit in your quart-​size zip-​top plastic bag. Speaking of bags, the ones here are gorgeous. I was seriously swooning over their many brightly colored, all-​leather handbags. But since I didn’t have $ 300 to blow, I settled on some cute luggage tags and a cheery Marimekko umbrella instead.
I didn’t have any problems with the staff. On a laidback Sunday afternoon they were helpful without breathing down my neck.

I love kitsch, but I generally steer clear when it comes to traveling supplies… well, until I found this place. Flight 001 has become an addiction in the worst sense of the word; I know I don’t need this stuff, but I WANT IT.
Every time I walk by, I get drawn in like a cracked-​out squirrel, looking for the next shiny object to brandish during a long flight, or a short subway ride. The bright fuselage design of the shop and the friendly-​as-​an-​airline-​attendant staff don’t help to curb my newfound dependence on sleek organizers, travel containers, cool luggage, and gadgets (did I mention gadgets?!? — just shy of an «off button» for crying babies, they have anything you could imagine or ask for).
Flight 001, you rock my slipstream-​riding, asphalt-​rolling, and rail-​gliding life.
