A recent Wall Street Journal column identified how airlines continue to up their game in order to entice premium passengers, many of whom still pay full fare, with freebies (i.e., swag). Items might include duvet covers, branded shot glasses, playing cards and pajamas. Suffice to say, they dislike the increased cost to do so.
While amenity kits continue to be provided — with things like socks, eyeshades and toothpaste — and are easy for passengers to take, apparently some fliers are walking off with bedrolls as well.
On a recent flight from London-LAX, I had the pleasure of flying First Class and cannot personally imagine walking off with something akin to a sleeping bag (shown below). Wowza. A small throw blanket possibly.
Maybe the pajamas (typically not in “my” color).
The question is: What would you take with you??
