Most people sport some kind of flight bag, you see them at the airport all the time. They’re the little cross-body bags in which you keep all your essentials: passport, tickets, money and all your travel documents.

My little bag has two zip pockets and a small flap-over pouch at the front. The main compartment fitted my camera and purse in perfectly and the slim other pocket is perfect for stashing my passport.

My flight bag is made of a lightweight fabric, so it can easily be washed back to new by slinging it into the machine on cool when I land safely back home. I would recommend everyone take one of these little beauties on holiday. I had a quick search and some of the “Antler luggage” flight bags are rather nice and is the Jupiter shoulder tote.

For an inexpensive option you could try the Shoreline green smart shoulder bag. It’s almost identical to the one I carry but it has the benefit of an adjustable length strap and a flap-over pocket hiding the main compartment further.

For any traveller, male or female, I would emphatically suggest investing in a flight bag: it would certainly make a great stocking filler for the keen voyager in your family. If the material is fabric then you can opt for any colour you choose because it will be machine washable and so you don’t have to stick to mundane black … then again, if like me it doubles as your handbag, black tends to go with everything!
