He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didnt have any other luggage. Tom needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.“Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily,” Tony said, ”You dont have any luggage, right?”“Only this backpack,” Tom answered. ”You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”“Thats right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”“Thanks.”Is Tom a criminal (罪犯)? Not at all. He is an air-courier(空中信使). And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris.

The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isnt for everyone.
