While the stated goal of the 30-acre entertainment complex known as CityWalk is to entertain and educate patrons in a variety of themed environments, its real accomplishment is giving tourists a place to deposit their cash.

The next time you’re in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Berkeley, Chicago, or Dubai and realize you’ve forgotten your toothbrush again, don’t fret: Flight 001 is there to rescue you. Selling everything from toiletries to fashionable luggage, the store is the brainchild of Brad John and John Sencion.

Designed as a one-stop shop for busy travelers on the go, the idea for Flight 001 (pronounced Flight One) was born in 1998 when John and Sencion were rushing around for a trip to Paris. Frustrated by all the different stops they had to make, the two decided that a store with everything would truly fill a niche.

What began as one store has grown into eight, each designed to look like the interior of an airplane, with curved walls and storage bins that look just like in-flight overhead luggage bins. To create the feel of an international airport lounge, the owners also used walnut paneling.

All Flight 001 products are interesting and not quite run-of-the-mill, offering bright colors, beautiful designs and fun gifts, like magnetic Scrabble and an F-1 Plane Pal Kid Kit. So the next time you find yourself in need, get to a Flight 001 store and buy yourself some color.
