Ok Mile-High Members-in-Training.... you need these.

You also need to try and time your trip through security to coincide with that of the pilot of your plane. Trust me, when he sees you unzip these to put them in the little plastic tray for the X-ray he will later forgive anything and everything you try to do in the lavatory of his plane. He might even stand guard at the door for you.

At the very least, he'll give you little plastic wings to commemorate your adventure.

Rimowa Silver Topas Luggage

First to recommend

Description

Your success in joining the Mile-High Club is only ensured with proper planning. It starts before you even leave the house.

Your goal? To intimidate the airline through good taste into looking away as you complete your mission. It's that simple. You want to be the cool kid, the one they want to like them. Thus ensuring they won't tattle on you.

So you need serious, ass-kicking luggage. The kind that, when you roll up with it, purrs "Gentlemen, there would be far too much paperwork involved for you in the opening of this case."
______________________________
About these cases: Rimowa's First-class line with sophisticated details. Available in 20" carry-on and 36" Jumbo sizes. Exterior features integrated telescoping pull handle with locking snap-in handle levels and groove design. Aluminum. 5-year warranty.

Club Med Last-Minute Deals

First to recommend

Description

Great site for doing just what it says- showing you last-minute, super-cheap deals to various Club Med Resorts. And I mean SUPER-CHEAP. Hope the CAPS emphasized that for you. Some of the prices are absolutely incredible.

If you got to this rec by way of the How to Join the Mile-High Club list, good. I'm glad you're taking your mission seriously.

Here's the thing- I don't care how classy you believe you are. If you pull off a mid-air boink, you're going to want to tell someone. Which is, again, why proper planning is important. You may only complete this adventure once in your life. For ONE magical trip you may live the dream. Which sounds better? "We did it in on the way to a Trek convention in Des Moines" or "We ravaged each other on the way to the beaches of Punta Cana?"

If you chose the former, get off my list. Now. Please.

If you chose the latter and found yourself giggling because somehow, some way, Punta Cana in and of itself sounds naughty, welcome to my world. Sigh.

Pure Cashmere Zebra Throw Blanket

First to recommend

Description

I know, I know, everyone says size matters when packing. But really, I'm a quality over quantity kind of girl.

So when getting on an airplane, I will give up a few inches of carry-on space in favor of a lush, cashmere blanket like this over its size-conscious, made-to-be flattened peers. Really, it's not THAT big.

Shame On You Kit

8 people recommended this item

Description

a) it says SHAME ON YOU on it
b) it actually has all those random overnight essentials (i think i have my own version in my car)
c) there are so many ideal places to leave this... like in your bathroom when your roomate has someone stay over... on your bedside table for when whoever that person is on the other side wakes up... oh the ideas continue.

But it is useful, handy, and a great random gift.

Description

This isn't the good ol' days people. There was a time when you could saunter onto a plane with an open fifth of bourbon in your hand and a large spiral-sliced ham tucked under your arm. For starters. Now? An orifice does not exist where so much as a small bottle of water can find shelter.

So you must plan accordingly. This site helps you do just that. Not only does it list the available seats for your flight but it also uses color coding to show their proximity to such important locales as the Lavatory of Love. In addition, it identifies which seats recline only part-way and things like the location of power ports, should you have any non-battery powered accoutrements that need a quick charge.

Good stuff. It won't help you hide the water bottle but it will show you how many steps you have to stumble to the in-flight bar.

anya hindmarch First Class British Airways Travel Bag

First to recommend

Description

I discovered these a few years ago and have collected them ever since. They would make a fabulous gift alone or as the packaging for a theme kit- ie fill with manicure tools and sassy polish for a "Put Your Feet Up and Relax" gift or even better, stop by the local liquor store and buy the airline-sized mini bottles of booze for a "Travel Bar" present....

Some time ago, Anya Hindmarch- she of the fabulous bags- designed a travel kit full of goodies that was given to all First Class passengers on British Airways flights.

Well..... those kits make regular appearances on Ebay now. For usually under $10 you can find a new, unused Anya Hindmarch travel bag to use in a myriad of ways.

Re-read that- Anya Hindmarch. Under $10. Sigh. I'm giving myself little kisses for this discovery in between keystrokes.

Use the products within for your Mile-High adventures or fill it with your own favorite potions. There are so many designs available you should keep checking this link regularly. I have a dozen different ones. All fabulous.

They're sneaky bastards. You know it. I know it.

No one better defines "covert operations" than these boys and girls. So if you can't beat 'em and your college escapades and ensuing legal skirmishes prevent you from joining 'em, you might as well at least use their web site to learn a few things from them.

Getting down without getting caught in an airplane bathroom might be one such thing. Just a thought. A naughty, naughty thought.

Aesop's Fabulous Face Oil 25mL

First to recommend

Description

This is another favorite travel product I first encountered when reading a Harper's Bazaar article in which Anya Hindmarch (goddess!) described her "must have" travel essentials. Being a bag-carrying member of the Cult of Anya, of course I had to try it myself.

Wow.

For transcontinental air travel, nothing beats this potion. Forget someone else wanting to touch you- you won't be able to stop touching yourself. Think moist and delicious skin....

About Aesop's Fabulous Face Oil:
Nightly moisturising serum for dry, dull or stressed skin.

Use before bed on clean skin for an aromatic hit with superb hydration benefits, helping to relieve dryness and roughness. The pungent blend of deeply hydrating floral extracts, combining wild Ylang and precious Jasmine Petal, is instantly addictive. Absorbs completely, without greasy residue and is totally preservative free.
