I'm glad someone else thought that besides me.

All the rest put the VA one to shame IMHO. I hope RB gets this story sent to him by a lot of people.

My favourite is the Garuda Indonesia one.

Garuda is my favourite one also --- however I flew with them once and never again

As we all know the VS offering is poor --- the power of decent photography and the recycling element make it appear far better than it actually is :)

how on earth can VS get 5 stars, compared with the others, more like a 2
Love the airline but the kits are rubbish

It does make it glaringly obvious how dismal VS are, the only one not to offer any skincare products and such a poor selection compared to the others. Do hope SRB and all the bean counters see this and hang their heads in shame.

Baffles me why Cowshed (because they feature so highly in LHR CH) aren't involved. You would think that any of the premium brands would jump at the chance to showcase their products.

They were part of the UC amenity kits until they were downsized.

The amenity kit you get in Business in Emirates is slightly less glamorous and is only available on overnight flights.

They forgot the 1 mentos mint!
Also in the pic they have the old iPad case and the smaller one now used!
I've said before on here I'm not that bothered about the kits as I like to use my own products when I fly but the VS offering is pants!
Ethiad Y has a offering on par with VS UC!

Wow! Here I was thinking that the amenity kit would be something I could loo forward to on my first UC flight and now I am feeling really deflated - the plastic zip wallet you get in Y is more use to me than that lot!! Ho hum.

Colgate seem to be doing well out of the amenity kit market!

Don't worry about the amenity kit lu , it's the only poor part of a great UC experience , only ever bring mine home for the kids anyway

I opened mine just before landing and was bitten on my hand by an insect (flea I think) that jumped out- so beware.


That's part of the kit, it's too small to see it in the picture :o)
