The new Swiss Business Class amenity kit, part of the Senses concept, is designed with sustainability in mind but disappointing in execution. The basic contents are very sparse, and the optional add-on items can't make up for the missed opportunity to create something truly premium.
With the Acqua di Parma amenity kit, Air Canada is finally setting a real quality benchmark in Business Class. The fragrance, packaging, and materials impress across the board – only a lotion or aftershave is still missing. Overall, a clear upgrade over previous kits and worthy of Business Class.
The Edelweiss Business Class amenity kit on long-haul flights disappoints with minimal contents – socks, a toothbrush with toothpaste, and a sleep mask. For an airline with premium aspirations and corresponding ticket prices, the quality is clearly too low.
The Lufthansa First Class Amenity Kit by Porsche Design impresses with a stylish, reusable bag and solid basic essentials. However, compared to competitors like Emirates or Qatar Airways, it lacks more exclusive skincare products and a true luxury factor. Those who value functionality will be well served – those expecting genuine first-class glamour may be left slightly disappointed.
British Airways Premium Economy (World Traveller Plus) offers good value for money on shorter long-haul routes, with comfortable seats, solid catering, and complimentary drinks. The entertainment system is outdated, which slightly dampens the overall impression. If you want to avoid Business Class prices, this is a solid choice.
Turkish Airlines Economy impresses primarily with its attractive value for money on short and medium-haul routes. The cabin, catering, and generous entertainment offering are solid for economy class. If you're flexible on seat selection and comfort, this is a good alternative to pricier direct flights.
The British Airways Premium Economy amenity kit impresses with a high-quality, reusable pouch in BA's signature colors. The contents — lip balm, sleep mask, socks, earplugs, toothbrush, and pen — are generous for the cabin class and match the quality level of Lufthansa Group's Business Class offerings.
The KLM Business Class amenity kit impresses with an elegant design in the characteristic KLM blue. The contents are very solid and comprehensive – KLM offers everything you need on long journeys.
Lufthansa opts for a practical and reusable concept with the Porsche Design cooler bag, which remains useful well beyond the flight. The contents are solid with L'Occitane products, though the lack of any mention of earplugs is slightly puzzling. Overall, the quality is convincing.
Singapore Airlines focuses on quality over quantity in Business Class, delivering a premium, compact set with all the essential basics through the Penhaligon's Amenity Kit. Complemented by slippers, socks at the seat, and a comprehensive selection of products in the onboard lavatories, passengers are perfectly equipped for long-haul flights.
Air Niugini offers a solid but unremarkable business class experience on the long-haul flight from Port Moresby to Singapore, with friendly service and adequate space in the 2-1-2 layout of the aging Boeing 767. Catering, cleanliness, and entertainment fall short of European or Asian five-star airlines. Travelers heading to Papua New Guinea have few alternatives — but for the adventurous, the experience is still worth the price.
The SWISS Premium Economy amenity kit impresses mainly with its sustainable approach — the container made from recycled newspaper is a unique idea so far. However, the contents with sleep mask, toothbrush, and earplugs are quite modest and don't offer any particular wow factor.
The new SWISS Premium Economy offers a noticeable upgrade over Economy with its hard-shell seat, 15.6-inch screen, noise-cancelling headphones, and 2×23 kg baggage allowance. Not Business Class, but a more comfortable travel option – provided the price is right.
The Lufthansa Business Class Sleep Shirt by van Laack is a welcome addition to the amenity kit on long-haul flights of 10.5 hours or more. The quality of the shirt — made by the same manufacturer as the First Class pyjamas — is genuinely impressive and better than expected.
The Lufthansa Business Class Amenity Kit 2021 from the Around the World Collection is practical and functional, without being particularly impressive in terms of quality. The included skincare products leave a premium impression, and the pouch itself is easy to reuse. Not a standout, but a solid kit for Business Class.
The Ethiopian Airways Business Class amenity kit impresses with a comprehensive and practical selection of items. In addition to the usual toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm, and sleep mask, it also includes hand sanitizer and socks — a great kit for long-haul travelers.
The Iberia Business Class amenity kit impresses with its remarkably extensive contents, despite its plain exterior. The red pouch contains all the essentials for the journey — from socks to dental care to hand cream, all stocked with branded products. The only thing missing from this otherwise thoroughly successful set is a pen.
The Lufthansa Business Class Amenity Kit is very basic and contains the most essential items like a toothbrush, sleep mask, and socks. Compared to other airlines, a high-quality brand partnership is missing, which is why the kit serves its purpose but hardly impresses.
The Lufthansa First Class amenity kit by Porsche Design is visually appealing but disappoints when it comes to contents. For a First Class cabin, the selection — comb, earplugs, toothbrush, socks, and headphone covers — feels rather sparse. Lufthansa misses the opportunity to impress with a truly premium kit.
Lufthansa opts for an amenity kit in the shape of a denim pouch in Premium Economy – an original approach with reuse potential. The contents are solid and cover the essentials. However, you should take the warning about the denim fabric seriously, as it can potentially have unwanted consequences.
The Lufthansa Business Class on the Zurich–Frankfurt–Dubai route disappointed with a listless crew, absent Senator recognition, and minor catering shortfalls. The value of the 199 CHF upgrade was acceptable, but overall the experience fell short of expectations. All things considered, it was still great to be back in the air.
The Lufthansa Business Class Amenity Kit comes in a nice but not particularly premium pouch by The Bridge. The contents cover all essential travel needs and leave a solid, if unremarkable, impression.
The tin in A380 design is visually appealing and makes for a nice souvenir. However, the contents — comprising a toothbrush, toothpaste, earplugs, lip balm, socks, sleep mask, and headset covers — fall short of what you'd expect in Business Class. Overall, the kit disappoints despite its attractive packaging.
Despite the older A330 product, the flight in Swiss Business Class was a real treat – an exceptionally attentive and motivated crew ensured a relaxed travel experience. The food, featuring beef entrecôte tataki, braised beef brisket, and yuzu lemon meringue, impressed across the board. Only the small entertainment display and the limited film selection slightly dampened the otherwise very positive impression.
Cool tin, great contents – something other airlines should take note of. The decorative metal box created in partnership with the US Olympic Team may not be a classic pouch, but that doesn't dampen the enthusiasm one bit.
Turkish Airlines offers a solid amenity kit on long-haul Economy Class flights, including slippers, socks, a toothbrush, earplugs, lip balm, and a sleep mask. The offering is perfectly adequate for Economy Class and even surpasses the amenity kit from Edelweiss.
United Airlines puts real emphasis on quality with the Polaris Amenity Kit, offering an impressive selection of goodies featuring premium Cowshed products. The contents are exemplary and cover all essential needs — only the ballpoint pen feels a little cheap. The bag itself makes a premium impression and changes designs pleasingly often.
The British Airways First Class amenity kit, produced in collaboration with The Refinery, disappoints: the plain black design doesn't quite feel First Class-worthy on closer inspection. The contents — sleep mask, razor, shaving gel, and anti-aging cream — are solid enough, but the overall presentation falls short of expectations.
The Business Premier amenity kit from Air New Zealand impresses with a solid and complete set of contents covering all the essential travel items. The branded mouthwash in particular sets this kit apart from the competition. Overall, a well-executed amenity kit that serves its purpose very well.
The SWISS amenity kit, produced in collaboration with Victorinox, covers only the bare essentials and offers no real luxury items. Despite the renowned Victorinox brand, the kit falls short of expectations and fails to impress in either design or content. Still, it does provide some added value when traveling.
