Hello. I'll keep this to the point.

I'm a employee of a fairly nice airline which gives me the ability to fly free anywhere in the world. This led me to really consider how I make this work to my benifit more than going to parties and just visiting for tourism. To me it's an opportunity to turn my USD into something more, and to try different markets out for little hustle money. Just enough to get by. I don't intend to even go as big as crates, I'm talking what I can put in my check in luggage amount.

I want to do small importing of legal and easily obtained items from other countries. Im aware depending on the item tax differences, permit, etc. Theres more to the process than pick a store and go buy it out. Im business savy and work predominantly in Houston and Denver but i could fly in anywhere from where im coming from. I can bring two 70 pounds bag plus two carry on.

. The issue is simple for me; what is the product? I can bring almost 1,000 dollars and almost 200 pounds of items back - whats the damn items im looking for, though?

I know it needs to be something we love in America. Clothes, alcohol, high end luxury items etc. But where do I start? For me it's as simple as get on a plane. But i don't know what's lucrative, all I see online is China china China, and I'm trying to do something small and manageable for myself and maybe a friend or people who fly with me. Frankly....don't want to fly to China.

Just looking for ideas or what others may have done or would do if they could fly free anytime anywhere in the world as kuch as they want and they had a normal pay checks worth of money to work with for purchase and customs and tax.

Feel free to give input or ask for more details.
