Come for the Amenity Kits, Stay for the Flight
Briefly

Airlines like Air France, Emirates, and Singapore Airlines are enhancing their offerings to appeal to high-spending travelers. The design of first-class cabins has evolved, featuring luxurious elements such as separate chairs and beds, high-resolution screens, and sophisticated amenity kits. These kits, developed in collaboration with renowned luxury brands, have become important marketing tools, widely circulated on social media platforms and among collectors. This trend marks a departure from more basic amenities, aiming to provide a premium experience comparable to upscale gift collections.
Gone are the utilitarian days of dental kits and foam ear plugs. At their lie-flat beds or private pods, premium guests in both first and business class today are greeted with a collection worthy of an Oscars gift bag.
Each first-class suite has a separate chair and bed, five windows, sound- and light-blocking curtains, and two 32-inch high-resolution 4K screens.
These kits serve as powerful marketing tools, widely discussed online (see: amenity kit TikTok), collected by enthusiasts and sometimes even sold on eBay.
Call it the amenity kit arms race. Major global airlines are increasingly pushing to attract high-spending passengers with luxury offerings.
