Just musing about amenity kits…
As I mentioned in my last trip report, the new Upper Class amenity kit no longer contains any polo mints, moisturiser, or tissues. I know that there are breath freshening strips to replace the mints, and moisturiser and tissues are provided in the washrooms, but I don’t think that is quite the same. However, the other thing which I missed from the kit was any kind of notepad. Often during a flight, I want to scribble a few things down and I just couldn’t find anything (other than a sick bag) to write on. I was slightly surprised by the absence of paper because I remembered that there was a pad and pen in the economy kit. However, speaking to someone on a Virgin flight on Friday, there was no longer the notepad in the economy kit either. I checked the VS website and it says that there are postcards in the outbound kit. Has anyone seen them? Are they a suitable replacement for a notepad? What is going on with the paper rationing? What is left in the economy amenity kit? The inbound (to the UK) is especially sparse. However, do any other airlines do better when it comes to the goodie bags? I’d like to think that Virgin is still the industry leader, but don’t have any comparisons. Anyone else had any kits from other airlines?
