Bra
Location: The overhead compartment in the Plane Dealer's room - you will have to spend some time in the room before the top compartment pops open, revealing the bra

Candy (with or without alcohol)
Location: This can be purchased at the Duty-Free Shop.

Use: Give this to a competitor to improve your relationship with them. Your character can also eat the candy themselves, but eating alcoholic candy will make them drunk for some time.

Cell Phone

Dart
Location: Among one of three darts on a moose's head in the Petrol Air backroom - the saboteur will not let you take one unless you have given him an item that is useful to him in exchange (hint: an arachnid may be of use to him)

Use: Give this to the man at the Advertising Agency - he will be thankful!

Disk (Anti-virus floppy)
Location: In the Advertising Agency; specifically, on the edge of the table next to the fax machine by the entrance - they will not let you take it until you give them something they want in return (hint: dart board).

Use: If your Notebook has been inflicted with a virus, use this disk to get rid of it. See Sabotage.

Drowning Cow (TM) Energy Drink

Use: Your character can drink this to make them walk and run much faster. Alternatively, you can give it to the guy in the Newspaper Stand.

Glowing Coal (and Coal)
Location: Any bombed office.

Gloves
Location: On the Petrol Air counter

Use: Use this when getting a drink from the vending machine to prevent an electric shock.

Glue
Location: On the bottom-right portion of the screen in the Cargo Office is a box - the glue is lying in the grating next to the box, but the crane operator will not let you take the glue until you give him something else in exchange (hint: he needs something that will hold things together)

Use: Place this anywhere in the airport terminal. Anyone who walk into the puddle of glue will be stuck there for a short period of time. So be careful that you don't walk into the glue!

Horseshoe
Location: On the back wall of the Duty-Free Shop just above the curtained "changing room;" a ceiling lamp is shining light on it

Use: Give this to the man in the green shirt at Rick's Cafe. Whenever your airline is about to have employee strike, you can talk to him to resolve it (see Sabotage).

Liquor
Location: This can be purchased at the Duty-Free Shop.

Use: Give this bottle of liquor to the mechanic in the workshop to improve your relationship with him. Your character can also drink the liquor anywhere else in the airport terminal, but he/she will be drunk for some time!

Money
Location: A wad of banknotes can (on occasion, but still rarely) be found in the garbage can at the bank, usually available to the first person to visit on the first day in freeplay.

Use: This does not go into your inventory; it adds $100k to your balance. Free money!

Notebook
Location: This can be purchased at the Duty-Free Shop one game week into a mission or freeplay, there's 3 additional battery upgrades on subsequent days.

Use: This is, basically, a portable globe plus Filofax. Click on it anywhere in the airport terminal for important information about each airline and to manage your own airline.

Oil (can)
Location: The oil can sits upon one of the barrels by the blowtorch in the workshop - the mechanic might let you take it if you give him something he likes (hint: he probably likes a good drink)

Use: Return to your office and click on the globe (or press G). Use the oil and the globe will stop squeaking when you rotate it.

Pair of Plyers [sic] (i.e. Pliers)
Location: When you enter the Petrol Air backroom, you will see the saboteur working. Next to him is the pair of pliers, above a genie's lamp. You don't need to give Petrol Air the Violin Case, you can just about click on the pliers without disturbing the saboteur. Replenishes daily.

Use: Stand in front of the security office and use it to disable all security services for the rest of the day (including yours). Can also be used to cut the power of competitors' office, making the room dark (apparent in multiplayer sessions).

Paper Clips
Location: The paperclips hold some pieces of paper in place on the Route Management Board. Replenishes daily

Use: Give this to the crane operator in the Cargo Office - he will prefer this over the glue.

Perfume (and Disgusting Perfume)
Location: Ladies Toilet, only available to male characters.

Stink Bomb

Tablets (i.e. Pills)
Location: In the drawer of Ms. Selig's desk in the Personnel Office - Ms. Selig will only let you take some if you give her something else first (hint:hmm whats that interesting thing on the wall)

Use: This will help curb the effects of tainted coffee brought on by sabotage.

Tarantula (i.e. the spider)
Location: Go to the Air Travel counter and hover your cursor over the "ALOHA!" pamphlet box. Eventually, a tarantula will crawl out of the box. If you don't click on it in time, the snake on the right will eat it, and you will have to wait for the next one.

Use: Give this to the saboteur working in the Petrol Air backroom - he will be thankful!

Violin Case
