    Air France Overnight Bag
some thoughts on lost luggage

Should you ever have the dual misfortune to transfer through Charles de Gaulle and find that your baggage did not do the same, be sure to ask for your consolation prize. After you have been told that your transfer time was too short, despite being six hours, ask for your Air France overnight bag. This is a veritable treasure trove of chinese plastic goods and French perfumes, that will keep you in top condition over the following days. Well, following day anyway.

In addition to the obligatory tooth brush and toothpaste it contains a handy T-shirt. Proudly boasting that it is a gift from Air France. What it should say is "my bags went to France, but all I got was this lousy T-shirt." Designed to prevent you sleeping naked while your clothes are located, this one-size-fits-all T-shirt affords discretion to only the shortest of men.

A fold out hair brush with a mirror for a handle will ensure that yout hair is in order and a comb provides more portable matainance. A sachet of Roger & Gallet Fragrant mild shampoo will let you wash your hair. once.

   
   

The packaging on the Roger & Gallet bar of perfumed soap informs you that this is the kind used by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Why her majesty uses men's soap is not explained on the box, but it is not the place of economy passangers to comment on the washing habits of the Concorde classes.

A nail file and clippers tends to your tired feet and the shaving foam and razor inclded in the pack give an excellent shave. Those with unsteady hands will be gald to know that a pack of tisues and a plaster are also provided, should either of these procedures result in injury. The tube of moisturiser included is excellent for finsihing the job off. A tube Lancôme gentle smooth deodorant cream and a bottle of Lacoste aftershave will ensure that you smell nice, even if the clothes you flew in have to be worn for days.

Swanning around your hotel room, clean-shaven, clipped, coiffured, moisturized, smelling like royalty and wearing nothing but a T-shirt must make you irrestable to French women because Air France also provides you with a condom. Only one mind you, but travelling between terminals at CDG takes a lot out of a man. And, like the T-shirt, one size fits all.
