Hi David and welcome to V-Flyer

Yes you can keep the sleep suits. Whether you want to or not is up to you as the jury is out as to whether they are worth keeping. My son in his teen years collected them avidly and distributed them to his pals at Christmas - cheapskate! :o)

I find mine very useful for my exercise classes and for taking on board airlines who do not offer sleep suits on overnight flights

Nope! The only things they collect are the headsets and menus. Everything is else is left for the cleaners to sort out

Also good if you're ever short of two boy scouts to rub together to generate a spark to start a fire

LOL! Although the later editions have much more cotton in them than the earlier ones which were inclined to produce sparks when you turned over in the bed! :D

No lol about it - it is exciting and it'll be fun. We gave a good home to our sleep suits from our first overnight UC trip.

Given any thought to your household's need for silver plastic aircraft themed salt and pepper pots? If not, you should...

Wearing mine in bed now!

Just the top half - bottoms in medium were a bit 'clip'. Looks like the were designed by a Mr Ron Hill....!

Brilliant souvineir I reckon.

The bag the duvet comes in will come in handy !

If you are after a nice souvenier there maybe one of the long silver pens with the little red wing on knocking about the Club House.

As to the sleep suit many of us take our own sleepwear rather than use the ninja suit.

They were on every UC passengers table on UC MAN-LAS/MAN flights on 28th Dec/5th Jan. I've never really felt the need to have them...

I belive there are two M/L and XL

If asked for a small the crew go through a fiction of saying 'I'll have a look' and coma back and say 'sorry none were loaded so have a medium instead'

Well that's my limited experience anyway !

They come in small, medium ,and large. IMHO they seem to have "shrunk " in size over the years :) .
Make sure you get a pair that are in a black outer bag- any that are left on board are re-used (after allegedly being laundered) :$ .

I concur, and it's nothing to do with personal gain!
