LOS ANGELES, July 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Summer is
officially here, which means people are preparing for the vacations
they have been planning all year long. Airlines for America
projects 210 million people will travel by air this summer,
including 29.9 million travelers on international flights, the
highest level in six years. No matter the destination, premier
specialty sporting goods retailer, Sport Chalet, offers
all-inclusive recommendations on the latest luggage, organizers and
products to create an easy, seamless experience for travelers.
"Summer vacations are a time to unwind and should be relaxing,
enjoyable and stress-free," said Sport Chalet Expert Chris Burston.
"Sport Chalet strives to simplify the daunting task of packing by
providing peace-of-mind to consumers with a variety of travel
products and accessories designed to eliminate travel woes."
Burston lists the following must-have items and travel tips for
simple, secure and happy air travel to enhance vacation
experiences:
- Avoid clunky luggage. The Dakine Split Roller Travel Bag
allows fluid movement with durable wheels and is also equipped with
a split level design for easy access to the most pertinent travel
items, while also accommodating a surplus of clothes and
shoes.
- Have a backup plan. When the carry-on bag doesn't seem
to fit in the overhead compartment, another bag on hand could be
useful. With a zip-off gear bag, the Eagle Creek Morphus 22
Convertible Bag contains two carry-on sized travel bags in one. The
bag has polycarbonate back shell and includes backpack and shoulder
straps, padded sleeves for tablets, an attached bottle opener and
more.
- Protect valuable electronics. Avoid worrying about
scratches or dings on precious tablets or laptops from rough travel
conditions. The Kelty Cache Box provides a protective padded
soft-liner, adjustable dividers for custom organization and plenty
of storage space.
- Ensure carry-ons are TSA compliant. When winding through
the security line, it's necessary to keep all liquid toiletries
separate in a clear plastic bag. The North Face Base Camp Flat Dopp
Kit has a removable liquids pocket for checkpoint-friendly
compliance, internal organization pockets for easy access and a
flip-out hook for hanging.
- Maximize comfort. Often times, scratchy and upright
plane seats can make resting and sleeping nearly impossible. The
Eagle Creek Sandman Eyeshade, Travel Pillow and Cat Nap Blanket are
made with ultra-soft materials to provide the most comfortable
ride.
- Stay organized. Currency, receipts and credit cards can
be hard to find in a large bag. The Eagle Creek RFID Crossbody
Organizer is a zippered organizer that is easy to carry, and has
RFID-blocking technology to keep your personal information from
credit cards and IDs protected.
- Take precautionary measures. For ultimate security while
traveling internationally, the Eagle Creek Silk Undercover Money
Belt can easily be worn under any garments. It provides undercover
solution when touring around unknown cities with passports and
money.
