Airline amenity kits have become a staple of premium travel, offering passengers comfort and utility during their flights. American Airlines and JetBlue, two prominent US-based carriers, both provide these kits to their premium cabin customers. The question remains: which airline offers the superior amenity kit?
American Airlines, known for its extensive premium cabin offerings including Flagship First, Business, and Premium Economy, introduced a rotating amenity kit collection last year. This initiative features "diverse designers and brands, sustainably sourced materials and causes important to American and its customers." The primary kits include essentials like dental kits and skincare products but are periodically refreshed with new items. Additionally, limited-edition kits such as the collaboration with West Hollywood-based Thirteen Lune and the "Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C)" kit have been released.
JetBlue's Mint product is the carrier's sole premium offering across select Airbus A321ceo and A321neo aircraft. Last summer, JetBlue revamped its amenity kits in partnership with Caraa, Dr. Dennis Gross, Plus Ultra, and Buzz. On transatlantic flights, passengers receive a reusable foldable backpack designed by Caraa; domestic travelers get a snappable pouch available in four colors. Inside these kits are eco-friendly personal care items from Plus Ultra and skincare products from Dr. Dennis Gross.
