Juice Promotions Australia said, “It totals 14 deep pockets, including eight pockets at hip length, 11 pockets at three-quarter length and 14 pockets at full length. It includes two detachable pocket panels, and a carry-on size duffle bag.”

“When worn at full length the Airport Jacket is capable of concealing approximately two laptops, an iPad, two pairs of shoes, a pair of jeans, five T-shirts, a jumper and a camera. Wearers need simply slide their luggage into the jacket pockets when checking in and boarding the flight, and once safely off the plane the jacket can easily be unzipped and transformed into a duffle bag capable of holding both the jacket plus all items in the pockets.”

Some passengers have raised concerns that the coat will attract attention from security officers, but Benke said that passing through checkpoints is not an issue.

“Walking though airport security is not an issue. The Airport Jacket only needs to be worn when checking in and at the boarding gate,” he added.

“When passing airport security, items that need to be taken out of the Airport Jacket are usually a laptop and electronics, which you can easily pull out. Airport security are not looking at how you store your luggage, they are checking the contents of your luggage so we have not experienced an issue as long as you follow guidelines for carry-on luggage.”

Airline companies might not be pleased to hear it when this jacket, allowed you to hold more than the contents of you carry-on luggage, ready for sale./.
