High Altitude, High Quality: Best Amenity Kits for the Business Traveler

 

When you’re constantly traveling for business, it can sometimes seem as though you’re living in the skies. As glamorous as the jet-setting lifestyle may seem to some, as we all know, it can often times become grueling. So many of the creature comforts that you are accustomed to in our grounded lives are a fantasy in the skies, at least for some airlines. Fortunately, there are quite a few carriers that offer extremely high quality amenity kits for their business travelers. In this article, you will get an overview of the top of the line amenity kits throughout the skies.

When flying Business Class, it is a pretty safe assumption that every airline will offer increased variety, as well as higher quality in terms of the inflight menu, a flat bed for long hauls, priority boarding and lounge access, and generally a higher quality of service from check-in to baggage claim; however, what can often be overlooked when choosing your airline is the quality of the amenity kit. The items that come in this kit can really make an otherwise uncomfortable trip, enjoyable and luxurious.

North American airline amenities

American Airlines is one of the only airlines based in North America that offers a high quality amenity packet. Included in this kit are many of the toiletries and comfort items that you would not dream of going without while in your own home. Items such as, an eye mask, washcloth, toothbrush, toothpaste, lip balm, lotion, & ear plugs. Extras such as a pen and even socks are also included in American’s kit. To top it off, all these items are given to you in a chicly designed bag in various colors, which is, naturally, yours for the taking.

European airline offerings

While North American airlines as a whole might be lacking a bit in the extra comforts in the air, European Airlines standout in luxury airtime. Air France, Alitalia, and Finnair all boast extremely high quality amenity kits for their busy businessmen and women. While all three airlines offer what has become the “amenity kit standard” such as lip balm, lotion, toothpaste, toothbrush, and an eye mask, the three also differentiate themselves among one another as well.

Air France, for instance, allows you to choose the color of the kit you receive, the four colors of choice are also renewed twice a year to be sure that your house isn’t full of the same old bag, for all you frequent fliers.

Alitalia focuses on chic design for the bag that their amenity comes in. This carrier is worthy of use in your daily life, as it is a Salvatorre Ferragamo product. In addition, many of the toiletries included in the package are top of the line Bianco di Carrara items.

Finnair, as well, offers extremely luxurious perks in its even swankier amenity kit. The presentation is quite stylish, with kits available in three different Marimekko designs. In addition to being beautifully crafted, Finnair’s kits are made with the environment in mind, and made in a minimalist style, which is ideal to the efficiency focused business traveler you surely are.

South Pacific airline extras

The Northern Hemisphere however, isn’t the only place offering world-class business travel; In the South Pacific both Air New Zealand, and Australia’s Qantas airlines offer business class tickets that pack a punch. Both airlines give you those amenity kit standard items, but these two offer these items in their own signature ways and offer other unique goodies, making the pair two of the most highly touted amenity kits out there.

Air New Zealand, famous for their hilarious safety videos and extremely environmentally conscious mindset, stays true to form and offers Antipodes skincare products in its amenity kits. These products are made with organic ingredients and created in a sustainably conscious manner. The packaging is also recycled, can be reused, and as if that wasn’t enough you can also fit it to your iPad!

Qantas is focused on ultra luxurious kits in their offering, and boy do they deliver. This Australian airline offers Kate Spade and Jack Spade kits for their businesswomen and men, respectively. In these are also items for ASPAR that are exclusive to Qantas, making their kits some of the most unique packages in the skies.

Asian airline kits

Representing for the Asian market, Eva Air out of Taiwan is one of the most noteable amenity kits for business travelers in the world. The kits offered here come in two colors, which you can easily collect in one flight, as one color is given during your initial flight and the other on your return journey. Kits include name brand items and extras such as cleansing cloths for your mobile devices, a ultra luxurious satin sleeping mask, as well as comfy sleeping socks for those long hauls.
Middle East airline gifts

Last but certainly not least, the Middle East shows you world-class travel and style with three airlines offering style, convenience, and luxury in their amenity kits. Turkish Airlines, Emirates, and Qatar Airways all have class amenity kits with the purchase of a business class ticket.

Qatar Airways sets the bar high offering Giorgio Armani kits. These status amenity packages are unique in that they include high quality, brand name perfumed body lotion and aftershave for their travelers. Another unique feature of Qatar Airways’ kits are that women also receive a brush to take home after your travels.

Turkish airlines also offers classic big name amenity kits filled with assorted luxury and comfort items. However, what sets this airline apart is how you receive these kits. To make sure you do not receive the same kit twice in one flight, on all outbound flights a Jaguar amenity kit is given out. On all inbound flights the Cerruti amenity kit is given. This practice ensures variety as well as quality kits for the entire round-trip experience of your travel.

For long-haul trips though, Emirates is far and away the most luxurious experience out there. Men’s kits come with all the usual suspects of amenity kits, assorted toiletries and comfort items, however these items are top of the line. Including Gillette shave materials, and for the ladies Bvlgari creams and The Rouge perfume.
