MANILA, Philippines - Flight 001 (pronounced “flight oneâ€) the world’s premiere travel store, has finally made its way to the region and is excited to announce its aggressive expansion plans in various key cities all over Asia.
Starting with Bangkok (Siam Discovery), Indonesia (Gandaria City), and the Philippines (Shangri-La Plaza Mall), Flight 001 Asia has held press launches to locally spread the word about its innovative line-up of travel items that make each customer’s travel experience much more enjoyable and of course, stylish.
It does not matter where you are headed, as Flight 001’s comprehensive range of travel accessories and bags have your packing needs covered.
“Flight 001 is quickly becoming a global brand, which is a vision Brad (John) and I have had for the company from the start. And we are particularly excited and passionate about our latest expansion in Asia,†said John Sencion, co-founder of Flight 001.
Whether in Indonesia, Bangkok, and the Philippines, the first-ever Flight 001 stand-alone stores that were put up feature interiors designed to give the look and feel of a 747 jet fuselage. Complete with curved walls, wood paneling, and a retro-modern ticket counter, the stores are reminiscent of the glamorous jet-set era of the 50s and 60s.
Serving as a one-stop travel store, Flight 001 was “conceived†back in 1998 during Air France Flight 023, somewhere between New York and Paris wherein two business travelers, John and Sencion, who had spent far too much time preparing for their trip, envisioned a travel store as streamlined as the flight itself.
Luckily for travelers of every kind, their mid-air detour resulted in a jetsetter’s dream: an all-inclusive, retro-modern retail experience that satisfies the frequent traveler’s every need.
Take, for example, Flight 001’s own brand of highly functional travel products, starting with the Spacepak packing system, which maximizes cabin-size luggage space by compressing the air out of two weeks’ worth of clothes, to the Go Clean pack bag collection, which helps travelers stay organized through its range of versatile mix-and-match bags that are great for stashing laundry to shoes, and beach to gym gear.
But for more innovative travel solutions, it’s best to check out the Flight 001 stores itself and get to experience its unique brand of shopping experience while getting all your packing and travel needs met.
