Which airline, in your opinion, provides passengers in Economy Class with the best inflight amenity kits?
I was surprised by what Virgin Atlantic offered. On each of the flights, the bag was different – outbound was a pink swimbag type thing with a pair of socks, toothbrush, toothpaste, pen, paper, earplugs and so on. On the return flight, it was a blue pencil case with the same bits inside.
I was also amazed by what Qatar Airways offers its passengers. Considering that most of their flights are medium haul, what they give to their economy class passengers is quite good. A small grey bag with the oryx logo on it and a thin shoulder strap. Inside is the same as VS but they give you headphones, too!
EVA offered nothing except for a pair of disposable slippers. Eye patches are available upon request. In Evergreen Deluxe (now called something a little better on the 777s), the kit was disappointing. A very small green bag with a pair of socks, an eye patch and some other bits of tat. It wasn’t half as good as Virgin’s economy kit.
