The Airport Jacket
« on: March 16, 2023, 04:10:38 PM »
I'm not embarrassed to admit that I fly ULCCs somewhat frequently (ok fine maybe I'm a little embarrassed because it means none of you are my friends  :'(). Bli ayin hara I have never had any big issues with them and I usually travel with more stuff than is really allowed.

I flew out of Trenton yesterday and for the first time I was told that my suit bag counted as a bag and I needed to pay $99 to bring it on. I just put my suit on to avoid paying and then they asked me to size my backpack (also the first time I ever had to). Everything fit after leaving behind some dirty laundry :D. (It was also the first time I was told that my pillow would count as a bag :o)

With my Go Wild Pass starting soon I was thinking of better ways to bring everything I need with me without having to pay. I was thinking If I had some sort of coat that had lots of massive pockets I could bring more stuff while still following the rules. I looked around online and found this:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/244427582/the-airport-jacket-wearable-luggage-for-the-freque/description

I love the idea of this and would really consider buying one, but unfortunately it doesn't look like it was ever produced. Does anyone know of a good alternative?

The top 3 things I liked about it were
-It had a lot of really big pockets. It's not one of those things that say 923 pockets but 99% of those pockets are useless
-It looks like a nice coat that I wouldn't mind wearing around
-It comes with a bag that you can fit the coat into if you don't want to wear it

This year has made me really appreciate tactical jackets. So many useful pockets and features.

Here is the one I'm currently wearing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L15NLMP/?tag=cl03f-20
