Flying high: A peek into the perks of First Class and Business Class


Have you ever wondered what it must be like to travel on business class or gasp, first class? Perhaps someone of you might have the experience but for many of travellers, “cattle class” is all that they might be able to afford. To be fair some of the airlines’ economy classes are still a pretty good deal.
Well for those of you who have not experienced taking a “pampered” flight we try and bring you the next best thing. A peek into some of the perks business class and first class travellers get. One such extra is the amenity kit given to them. Here’s a look in at four airlines’ customised and branded amenity kits. One thing’s for sure if the passengers use the kits they will come out looking fresh and smelling good.

Malaysia Airlines

Introduced in February this year, Business Class passengers get the Porsche Design amenity kit comes in a hard shell case. The case customised with batik motifs comes in coffee and jet black for inbound and outbound passengers respectively. Inside, passengers will find a travel-sized Acca Kappa Green Mandarin body lotion and lip balm. The kit is reviewed every quarter.
As for First Class passengers, a Bvlgari amenity kit awaits them. Within is a Bvlgari skincare range. Introduced on the airline’s A380-800 inaugural flight on July 1 2012, it includes a rich body lotion, nourishing hand creme and a moisturising lip balm. The First Class amenity kit is reviewed twice a year.
Both amenity kits also include toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, hand sanitiser, foldable comb, socks and eyeshade.
