What's inside a typical business class amenity kit
A standard business class amenity kit typically includes: moisturiser or hand cream, lip balm, an eye mask, earplugs, socks, a toothbrush and toothpaste, a comb, and sometimes a pen. Premium kits add cologne samples, facial mist, or full-sized products.
The bag itself varies from simple zippered pouches to premium leather cases. Qatar Airways and Emirates rotate their designs seasonally, making them collectible for frequent flyers.
Airlines with the weakest amenity kits
Not all business class amenity kits are created equal. US carriers tend to offer less premium kits compared to Middle Eastern and Asian airlines. American Airlines and United provide functional but unremarkable kits with generic products. Delta has improved recently with a partnership with Someone Somewhere (artisan-made bags) but the products inside are basic.
If amenity kit quality matters to you (and for many of our clients, it does), choose a Gulf or Asian carrier for the most premium experience. Call +1 (866) 699-4488 and our agents can recommend the best overall business class experience for your route.
