While the recent crackdown on carry-on luggage on airlines flying from the United Kingdom has been a real headache for travelers, Thomas Anthony only sees a business idea:
What’s interesting is what you CAN bring on a flight. Light reading, passport, other traveling documentation and prescribed medicine.
This idea may be more relevant to U.K. travelers (more restrictions), but make trendy plastic bags. If the above mentioned is all the carry-ons TSA will allow why not do it in style. Campers have used extremely strong plastic bags for years. This is the kind of bag you would need, because you want these bags to have some value. You give them value in two ways. One, is to make them sturdy enough where they can have repeated use and wear and tear. Two, is to give them some gusto… possibly make them tinted colored(green, blue, pink) or embroider them…. there’s tons of possibilities here. Another feature could be to have different compartments inside or outside the bag. Have a pocket that is the size of a passport… have a pocket that hold pills… and maybe have separators for random papers and whatnot. Add comfortable strap or handles. The beautiful thing is that the whole product can still all be plastic.
