New Transcontinental Business Amenity Kit Versus Old:

I was happy to see that I got the “old” American amenity kit on my flight from LAX-JFK during Spring Break. American has its own amenity kit for the Transcontinental Business Class passengers which is different from International Business Class. American Amenity Kits are always changing!

It’s a leather “pouch” that isn’t fully sealed by Cole Haan. It has a toothbrush and toothpaste, plus earplugs, eyemask, socks and Bigelow body lotion and lip balm.

I received the new kit on my flight home from JFK-LAX just 5 days later and the case felt cheaper and was plastic-like but it could fully close with a zipper. The only difference in terms on contents is that the old kit gives a toothbrush + toothpaste, while the new kit gives minibrushes that don’t need water!

The Verdict:

Both are pretty basic kits that give earplugs, eyemask, socks and Bigelow body lotion and lip balm. I like how the new kit has a zipper but I prefer the leather pouch in terms of quality.

Have you had these American amenity kits? What do you think?

Happy travels,
